Frequently Asked Questions

A crushed stone calculator estimates the volume, weight, and cost of crushed stone aggregate for your project. By entering the dimensions, it calculates cubic yards, tons, truckloads, and cost for various crushed stone sizes and types.
#57 crushed stone is a popular aggregate size (about 1 inch) used for driveways, drainage, concrete mix, and as a base for pavers. It's crushed granite or limestone that angularly locks together when compacted, making it ideal for stable surfaces.
A cubic yard of crushed stone typically weighs between 2,500 and 3,000 pounds (1.25 to 1.5 tons). #57 stone weighs about 2,700 lbs/cu yd, while smaller #8 and #67 sizes weigh slightly more due to tighter packing.
Choose size based on use: #57 (1 inch) for driveways and drainage, #67 (3/4 inch) for concrete aggregate and pathways, #8 (1/2 inch) for decorative uses and walkways, 3/4 inch for general construction base, and 1/2 inch for top dressing and fine applications.
For a crushed stone driveway, use 4–6 inches of base stone (#57 or 3/4 inch) compacted in layers, topped with 2–3 inches of smaller stone (#8 or 1/2 inch) for the surface. For heavy vehicle traffic, increase base depth to 8–12 inches.
