Tips
- Tons = cubic yards × density. The density is the part that changes from one material to another.
- Crushed stone and gravel commonly weigh about 1.4 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard; ask your supplier for the exact figure for your product.
- Wet material is heavier than dry material, so the same volume can weigh noticeably more after rain.
