Two piles of gray crushed rock sit on bare dirt in a fenced yard with green tarps and a palm tree behind them.

How much base do I need?

Square feet and depth in, tons out, with the compaction factor most people forget.

Leader Aggregates Sand & Gravel Delivery wrote this guide from the calls we take every day. Content outline below, to be filled in.

  1. Measure the area and pick the lift depth
  2. Cubic yards to tons: about 1.5 tons per yard compacted
  3. Add 10 to 15 percent for compaction and waste
  4. Worked examples: patio, driveway, slab sub-base
