Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the depth you need, then convert cubic yards to tons. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on material density, and our online calculator will give a precise estimate for gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Minimum orders typically start around 3 tons, so plan accordingly.
