Hi

I do hope someone can help me. I'm going to be doing a driveway for someone soon and i would like to know how to work out how much chips I need. Its 16 metres long x 5 metres wide and i reckon about 2 inches of 6-10 mm chips would be suffice. I have used the calculator on this site to work out how much subbase I would need but I'm unsure about chips.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks

Neil

5 tons will be about right a ton covers 15-17m2 for a driveway and about 12 for mulching beds.
Can't see it from my house
