Can anyone give me a link to a site that i can use to calculate how much stone or mulch to use? Say how many yard for 3 in. 1800 sq/ft?

Sure. I use this site to figure out mulch and topsoil. www.atstecks.com

Chef, hope that helps you out. Not only that but it sure is one heck of a great looking website. Wish I could find someone that could something like that for my business.

Those sites are great what about if you need it in the field.

This is what the book says

Site Lenght x site width x .inches divide by 27

But usually I divide by 30

Heres an example

100 x 100 = 10,000 sqf. x.3=3,000 / 30 = 100 yards of mulch

You can do this up to nine inches after that you use 1 as 10 inches instead of .10 and 1.1 as 11 inches 1.2 as 12" and so on

This a rough estimates assuming a yard would cover 100 sqf. at 3" deep

But works real good for giving quick quote estimates

I can get you a CD with an excel spreadsheet that has a mulch calculator built into it, as well as a few other things.
