Crushed Stone Calculator
Calculate how much crushed stone, gravel, sand, or other aggregates you need for your landscaping or construction project. Get accurate estimates in cubic yards, tons, and cost.
Step 1: Project Dimensions
Understanding Depth Requirements
For driveways, use 4-6 inches of crushed stone. For pathways, 2-3 inches is sufficient. For drainage projects, 8-12 inches may be needed.
Step 2: Material & Cost
About Material Calculations
1 cubic yard of material covers approximately 100 square feet at 3 inches deep. Density varies by material type – crushed stone is heavier than gravel or sand.

Project Cost Breakdown
Calculation Formula
Volume (cu yd) = (Length × Width × Depth/12) ÷ 27
Weight (tons) = Volume × Density ÷ 2000. Cost = Weight × Price per ton. Adjust for shape factor based on area shape selected.
