DG Coverage Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the DG coverage is:

$C = \frac{A \cdot \left(\frac{D}{12}\right)}{27}$

Where:

$C$ is the coverage in cubic yards.
$A$ is the area in square feet.
$D$ is the depth in inches.

Example

Let's say the area (A) is 500 sq ft and the depth (D) is 3 inches. The DG coverage would be calculated as follows:

$C = \frac{500 \cdot \left(\frac{3}{12}\right)}{27} \approx 4.63 \text{ cubic yards}$

So, the DG coverage is approximately 4.63 cubic yards.

What is DG Coverage?

DG coverage refers to the amount of decomposed granite needed to cover a specific area to a certain depth. Decomposed granite is a popular material for landscaping, pathways, and driveways due to its natural look, durability, and permeability. Calculating the correct amount of DG is crucial to ensure complete coverage without wasting material.
