Estimate crushed stone for a driveway base, French drain or backfill — in cubic yards and tons.
The math behind it
Volume (ft³) = length × width × depth. Crushed stone ≈ 100 lb/ft³ (~1.35 tons/yd³). Tons = volume × density ÷ 2,000.
Worked Example
30×12 ft at 4 in → 120 ft³ = 4.44 yd³ ≈ 6 tons.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep for a driveway base?
4–6 in of compacted crushed stone is typical, sometimes more for heavy vehicles.
