How much rock do I need?
Enter the area and depth to estimate how many tons of landscape rock, decomposed granite, rip rap or base you need.
You'll need about
0 tons
Our minimum delivery is 10 tons.
Includes about 10% extra for waste and compaction, rounded up to whole tons. Most materials have a 10-ton minimum. Text us the measurements and we'll confirm the load before delivery.
How the math works
At 2 inches deep, 1 ton of rock covers about:
| Material | 1 ton covers |
|---|---|
| 1/2" screened rock | 120 sq ft |
| 1" screened rock | 100 sq ft |
| Minus rock / decomposed granite | 120 sq ft |
| 1-3" rip rap | 80 sq ft |
| 3-9" rip rap | 50 sq ft |
Tons = square feet × (depth in inches ÷ 2) ÷ coverage per ton, plus about 10% for waste and compaction. Quick shortcut: square feet × depth in inches ÷ 230 = approximate tons.
