Gravel Calculators

Loose material is the only part of a concrete project sold by weight: gravel base, bedding sand and fill all arrive by the ton, while plans and coverage are written in cubic yards. The gravel calculators here convert between the two using rule-of-thumb densities for crushed stone, sand, topsoil and recycled concrete.

Densities swing ±10–15% with moisture and grading, so treat the conversion as an ordering estimate — and remember a typical pickup carries barely half a ton before it's over its payload.
