Gravel, Dirt and Asphalt

These calculators turn an area and a depth into the amount of loose material to order. Use the gravel, sand, stone, river rock and asphalt pages for a specific material, the cubic yard calculator for any volume, and the converter for cubic yards and tons.

Tools in this group

• Asphalt Calculator — Enter the paved area and the compacted thickness to get the tons of asphalt to order, the volume and the truckloads.
• Cubic Yard Calculator — Enter the size of the space and its depth to get cubic yards, cubic feet and cubic meters, or convert a volume you already have.
• Cubic Yards to Tons Calculator — Convert a volume of gravel, sand, soil or other material to tons (or tons to cubic yards) using a published loose density.
• Gravel Calculator — Enter the area and depth, choose the stone, and get the volume, the weight in tons and the number of bags.
• How Many Cubic Yards in a Dump Truck? — Work out the cubic yards and tons one dump truck load carries from the body size, then how many loads your job needs.
• River Rock Calculator — Enter the area, the depth and the stone size to get cubic yards, tons, bags and the area one ton covers.
• Sand Calculator — Enter the area and depth, choose dry or damp sand, and get the volume, the weight in tons and the number of bags.
• Stone Calculator — Enter the area and depth, choose the stone or aggregate, and get cubic yards, tons and coverage per ton.
