About this calculator
Crushed stone is graded by size: #57 (¾") for driveways and general fill, #8 (⅜") for paver bases and drainage, #2 (2-3") for heavy fill under foundations, and crusher-run (variable size with stone dust) which compacts to a hard surface. Densities range 1.35-1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on grade.
