Ask the guy you bought the stone from - they should be able to give you a good idea. Also, when pricing stonemasons ask them - it's their trade.

As far as I recall, I got 3-4m2/bag, with each bag being a tonne, so 75-100m2 is what you should expect.

75-100sq mtrs seems bit far fetched to me

Based off what??

On average you get 3m2 out of a ton bag of cut stone.

If you getting a lorry load of loose uncut stone expect to have a sh*t load of waste.

good load loose stone will give you on average 60 sq mtrs of wall. stone should cost you approx 16 euro per sq mtr when purchased as loose load natural stone

Buy some and go back for more and make a price for when you go back to get the next lot at the same rate, it takes more than you think
