Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are these calculators?
Our calculators use standard industry densities for materials. However, actual material density can vary by moisture content and quarry source. We recommend ordering 5–10% extra to account for compaction and waste.
What is the difference between a ton and a cubic yard?
A cubic yard is a measure of volume (size), while a ton is a measure of weight. Most aggregates are sold by the ton but measured by volume (length × width × depth). Our calculators convert volume to weight automatically.
How deep should I dig for my project?
Depth depends on the project. Driveways typically need 4–6 inches of gravel, while walking paths may only need 2–3 inches. Patios often require a 4–6 inch base. Check the specific Project Calculator for detailed recommendations.
Do you deliver the materials?
Yes! We offer bulk delivery nationwide. Once you calculate your needs, you can browse materials and schedule a delivery directly to your job site.
