How to calculate Yardage Required
Length x width x depth (in feet) divided by 27
Example
to add 4 inches of mulch to a 12 x 10 space
12 x 10 x .333 divided by 27 = 1.48
Deliveries should be rounded to nearest half yard.
Inches expressed as feet
2 inch = .1666 feet
3 inch = .25 feet
4 inch = .333 feet
5 inch = .416 feet
6 inch = .5 feet
Bert
Bert was born in 1969 and has lived a long and well maintained life. He is perfectly sized for our smaller properties with little turnaround room and narrow driveways.
He can carry 5 yards of soil, compost or mulch in one load or 2 to 2.5 yards of gravel.
Ernie
Ernie has been around since 1970 and worked very hard before his semi-retirement on Gabriola Island.
As well as loading Bert, he will happily load your own truck.
Oscar
Oscar is the other member of our mechanical family. He is a relative youngster being born in 1984. We nicknamed him Oscar as he is a little rough around the edges and quite grumpy about starting. However once he has been sweet talked into cooperating he is a reliable pickup and delivery vehicle.
