Crushed Stone Calculator
Calculate how many tons or cubic yards of crushed stone are needed for a project.
Formula
Volume (cu yd) = L × W × D(ft) ÷ 27; Tons = cu yd × 1.4
- Crushed stone density: ~1.4 tons/cu yd (2,800 lbs/cu yd).
- For driveways: 4-inch minimum depth; 6 inches for heavy vehicles.
20×10 ft, 4 inch depth
Inputs
- Length: 20 ft
- Width: 10 ft
- Depth: 4 in
200×(4/12) = 66.7 cu ft = 2.47 cu yd × 1.4 = 3.46 tons.
