Planning a construction or landscaping project? Our Crushed Stone Calculator helps you quickly determine the exact amount of gravel or crushed stone required. Input your project dimensions and material density to get precise estimates in cubic yards or tons, ensuring you order just what you need and save money.
Formula:
The calculator first determines the volume of your project area, then converts it to the required weight based on the material's density:
- 1. Volume Calculation:
Volume = Length × Width × Depth - 2. Volume to Weight Conversion:
Weight (Tons) = Volume (Cubic Yards) × Material Density (Tons/Cubic Yard)
Note: 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet. Average crushed stone density is around 1.35 - 1.5 tons per cubic yard.
