Aggregate calculator guide
Use this calculator for crushed stone, road base, pea gravel and similar bulk aggregate. The density input lets you match the calculation to the product you are actually buying.
Cubic feet = length × width × (depth ÷ 12)
Cubic yards = cubic feet ÷ 27
Tons = cubic yards × density
Common planning densities
| Material | Typical tons/yd³ |
|---|---|
| Pea gravel | 1.35 |
| Crushed stone | 1.40 |
| River rock | 1.35 |
| Crusher run / road base | 1.50 |
FAQ
Why can supplier tonnage differ?
Moisture, grading, compaction and quarry source affect bulk density. Use supplier documentation when available.
Should I add an allowance?
An allowance can cover depth variation, spillage and measuring uncertainty. The appropriate percentage depends on the project.
