How it Calculates the Results
This calculator uses the following steps to calculate the amount of crushed stone needed:
- Converts the depth from inches to feet by dividing by 12.
- Multiplies the length, width, and depth in feet to get the volume in cubic feet.
- Converts the volume from cubic feet to cubic yards by dividing by 27.
Limitations
Please note that this calculator provides an estimate only. Actual amounts may vary based on the specific characteristics of the crushed stone, such as size, moisture content, and compaction. Always round up and consider ordering a little extra to account for compaction and waste.
