How to work out area

 

Cubic Meter  (M 3) - Length X Width X Depth

Square Meter (m2) - Length X Width

Post Holes - Diameter X Diameter X 

Paving

  • 6:1 - 6 Shovels of Concrete Blend to 1 Shovel of Cement

Structural

In Gardens-

Double the thickness of your rock. This will give you a good cover.

 

Driveways & Pathways-

A good depth is

50 - 75mm

 

MULCHING

Ensure the area is thoroughly watered

before Mulching.

A good covering when Mulching is

a suggested depth of at least

70-100mm this will help with keeping

weeds at bay and improve soil moisture.

Keep the mulch clear of the stem of 

your trees and plants.

Enter area amount below

Results when using centimeters 

1'000'000 = 1 square meter

500'000 = half square meter

250'000 = quarter meter

If any measurement is less than 1 meter enter amounts in centimeters. 
Calculating 
Example
2.5m Length
3m Width 
0.40m Depth
250cm x 300cm x 40cm
=3,000,000
Equivalent to 3 meters squared.
