How Much You Need

Calculate your tonnage before ordering. For a 10-by-20-foot driveway base, you might need 3 to 4 tons, depending on depth and soil conditions. For larger driveways or parking lots, the calculation grows quickly. The calculator helps estimate tonnage based on length, width, and depth. Once you know your volume in cubic yards, multiply by 1.35 to get tons, since this material weighs roughly 2,700 pounds per cubic yard. Remember that depth matters: a 4-inch compacted layer requires less material than a 6-inch layer, but the deeper base provides better stability and lasts longer. For most driveways, a 5-inch compacted depth strikes a good balance between cost and durability. Equipment rental yards have compactors you can rent if you do not own one.
