Crushed stone packs tightly, so this includes 10% extra for compaction. Use it for bases, drainage layers and work areas.
How it works
Volume with 10% added, converted to yards. About 1.4 tons per yard estimates the weight.
Before you order
- Ask for a stone with fines when you want it to compact, and clean stone for drainage.
- Compact in layers of about 4 inches for a firm base.
- Stone sizes differ by region, so confirm the actual size rather than only a number.
