How Much Stone Do You Need?

To find out how much stone you need, you’ll first need to calculate the volume needed in cubic yards. You can do this using the classic volume formula and a few simple steps.

First, measure the length, width, and depth of the space in feet, then multiply them together to calculate the volume in cubic feet. Then, divide by 27 to get cubic yards. You can use a length converter to convert to feed if needed.

cubic feet = Lft × Wft × Dft
cubic yards = cubic feet ÷ 27

If you are measuring the depth in inches, you can also measure the length and width in inches as well. Multiply the length, width, and depth together to calculate cubic inches, and divide by 46,660 to get the cubic yards.

cubic inches = Lin × Win × Din
cubic yards = cubic inches ÷ 46,660t

Next, calculate the amount of stone you need in tons by multiplying the volume by the density of the stone material. Crushed stone or gravel smaller than 2″ weighs 1.4 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard, while larger stone usually weighs 1.5 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard.
