Calculate stone weight in tons and pounds from cubic yards with density options for crushed stone, river rock, granite, and limestone.
Enter dimensions and density to calculate stone weight.
Crushed stone averages 1.4 tons/yd³. River rock is slightly lighter at 1.35 tons/yd³. Granite and limestone are heavier at 1.5 tons/yd³ due to higher mineral density.
Know the weight to plan deliveries. A tandem dump truck carries 10-14 tons. Calculate total tonnage to determine number of loads needed.
About 1.4 tons (2,800 lbs) for crushed stone. Granite and limestone weigh about 1.5 tons per cubic yard.
