How Much You Need

Calculate your stone quantity using the calculator or by using basic math. Measure your project area in feet and the desired depth in inches, then apply this formula: cubic yards = (length in feet) times (width in feet) times (depth in inches) divided by 324. Since 3/4″ crushed stone is sold by the ton, and a cubic yard weighs approximately 1.35 tons, multiply your cubic yards by 1.35 to convert to tons. For example, a 20-foot-by-10-foot driveway base 4 inches deep equals about 2.5 cubic yards, or roughly 3.4 tons.

When in doubt, order a trial amount or contact us for guidance. Overshooting by 10 percent is safer than running short mid-project. If your project sprawls across multiple areas or uses varying depths, measure each section separately and add the tonnages together.

Pricing Notes

We sell 3/4" crushed stone by the ton, not by the cubic yard. Bulk rates apply at higher volumes. Small orders of 3 tons carry a higher per-ton price and a delivery fee. Mid-range orders of 8 tons drop the per-ton cost and lower the delivery charge. Orders of 15 tons or more receive the best per-ton rate and include free delivery, making large projects substantially more economical on a per-ton basis.

We recommend getting a quote based on your actual tonnage before confirming your order. Pricing adjusts based on current market conditions, material costs, and delivery distance. Once we provide a quote, the price holds for your order, so you know exactly what you will spend before the truck arrives.

About 3/4″ Crushed Stone

3/4″ crushed stone is a versatile aggregate material composed of roughly cubic fragments of limestone and granite, each about three-quarters of an inch across. The gray color and angular shape make it ideal for creating stable, long-lasting bases under pavement, for filling and compacting in landscaping, and for defining borders and pathways throughout residential and commercial properties.

The 3/4″ size falls between dust-fine material and larger 1.5″ stone, striking a balance between compaction strength and ease of handling. Unlike rounded pea gravel, the angular edges lock together, providing exceptional drainage while resisting shifting under traffic or settling. A cubic yard of this material weighs approximately 2,700 pounds, or about 1.35 tons, allowing you to convert between volume and weight measurements when planning your project.

Crushed stone is a permanent material that does not decompose or break down significantly over time, making it an economical choice for projects that demand durability and minimal maintenance over years or decades.
