This tool calculates the amount of crushed limestone you need for your project based on the dimensions you provide.
How to Use the Crushed Limestone Calculator
To use this calculator, follow these steps:
- Enter the length of the area in feet.
- Enter the width of the area in feet.
- Enter the depth of the area in inches.
- Click the “Calculate” button.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator determines the volume of crushed limestone you need in cubic yards. It follows these steps:
- Converts the depth from inches to feet.
- Multiplies the length, width, and converted depth to get the volume in cubic feet.
- Converts the volume from cubic feet to cubic yards (since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard).
Limitations
This calculator assumes a uniform depth of limestone across the entire area. Actual crushed limestone requirements may vary based on project specifications and site conditions. Always round up your measurements and consider ordering a little more material to account for variations and compaction.
