To use the Aggregate Calculator, simply enter the width, length, and thickness of your
job, and click on whether you are measuring the thickness in feet or inches. Next, click on either Base Rock, Drain Rock, or
a custom density selection. The Base Rock and Drain Rock selections will fill in the density of the rock for you; the Custom
selection allows you to enter a rock density in the Density field. Finally, click on the Calculate button.
The calculator will estimate the number of tons of aggregate that will be required. Please note that densities will vary
somewhat between different loads, but the default values assigned for Base Rock and Drain Rock are good standard "rules of thumb"
for estimating.
