Materials Calculator & Estimator

How do you calculate materials for a construction project? Whether you’re looking for limestone, gravel, recycled concrete, sand, or black dirt, we can help. Our materials calculator can help you determine how much aggregate is needed for your project. Be sure to set the calculator to the type of material you are interested in, as each type has its own unique density. For example, the gravel calculator has a different density from the material calculator for dirt.

Many factors can influence the exact quantity of material needed. Some projects are more difficult to determine how much to order, like if the area you want to fill with gravel is an odd shape. When measuring irregularly-shaped areas, you may want to break it down into squares and calculate each one individually. Sketching the area on a piece of paper may be helpful in this process.

If you would like to do the calculations by hand, the formula is simple: (Length) x (Width) x (Depth). Once you have your result in feet, divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. If you’d rather not do the math, our aggregate calculator can give you an idea of how much of each material to order. If you need any help, our team is standing by to help you determine the exact amount of each material that your project requires.
