Calculation
Tons = area × depth (m) × 1.5। 20 m² at 5 cm: 1.5 tons। River pebbles: ₹3,000-8,000/ton। White marble chips: ₹2,000-5,000। Kota stone chips: ₹1,000-3,000। Rajasthan: stone capital of India।
Indian Landscaping
Jaipur pink stone, Kota brown, Tandur grey: iconic Indian stones। Terrace gardens: lightweight aggregate preferred (building load)।
⚡ CalcWolf Insight
Landscape fabric under rock seems like a good idea, but most professionals skip it. It degrades within 3-5 years, prevents organic matter from enriching the soil, and becomes an ugly mess when exposed. Use 4 inches of rock directly on graded soil — weeds that do grow pull out easily from loose rock.
