How Much Stone Do You Need?

The Sand, Gravel, & Stone Calculator
estimate the total "tons" of material required for your job.

Width
(Feet)
Length
(Feet)
Depth
(choose inches or feet)
Density
(lbs/cubic yd)
Inches
Feet
SAND
STONE
Custom
Estimate of Total Tons Required:


Enter the width, length, and thickness of your job, and click on whether you are measuring the depth in feet or inches.

Next, click on either SAND or STONE, or enter a custom density selection (Enter 3000 for gravel).

The SAND and STONE selections will fill in the density of the rock for you; the Custom selection allows you to enter a unique density in the Density field (Careful! If you click on Custom you need to write over the density that was there previously).

Finally, click on the Calculate button. The calculator will estimate the number of tons of material that will be required.

Please note that densities will vary somewhat between different loads, but the default values assigned for Sand and Stone should give you a good estimate.

 

Mulch or Compost?

The Landcape Calculator
estimate the total "yards" of material required for your job.

LOAM/COMPOST
MULCH
Custom
Estimate of Total Yards Required:

 
Enter the width, length, and depth required, and click on whether you are measuring the depth in feet or inches.

Do not choose density as these materials have the same default values.  However if you are purchasing an unusual material and know that it has a different density the Custom selection  allows you to enter a unique factor in the Density field. 

If you click on Custom you need to write over the factor that was there previously. Click on the Calculate  button.  The calculator will estimate the number of yards of landscape material that will be required.
