Frequently Asked Questions
How much crushed stone do I need for my project?
Multiply the length by the width of the area, multiply by the depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. This calculator does that automatically once you enter length, width, and depth.
What density does this calculator use for crushed stone?
1.4 tons per cubic yard, a commonly cited average across landscaping supply and construction references. Actual density varies by stone size and how tightly it is packed.
How deep should crushed stone be for a driveway or path?
A common range is 3 to 4 inches for a walkway or top layer, and 4 to 6 inches for a driveway base layer. Check local guidance for your specific use case.
