Pea gravel

[Parrot lady]

How many bags of pea gravel for a 3x5 ,12in.deep bog garden?

That is around 15 cubic feet. Check what the bag says it will cover.

per lowes one bag covers .5 cubic feet, so 30 bags would be close.

For that much of any landscaping material, you might want to get a quote including delivery from a landscaping company as well.

^^^^^This. Bagged gravel and sand from home centers is obscenely expensive and typically poor quality. Not to mention a waste of plastic.
I got decomposed granite from my local rock yard for $68/cubic yard. Home Depot quoted the same stuff at $440 for 10 CUBIC FEET. For reference, a cubic yard is 27 cubic feet.

I had mine delivered via a truck, bought from a stone yard. They delivered it with some pallets of rock.
Around 38000 lbs. I needed a lot.

That much pea gravel will weigh about 1500 lbs.

It was a lot, we tractored it in, bucket loads. Started with the wheel barrel and said forget that, went to the tractor and did not rinse it at all.

Like you did Abby, I used the tractor as well.
