Order 2.72 yd³ (4.1 tons) of crushed limestone.

  • You need about 2.72 cubic yards (4.07 tons) of crushed limestone.
  • The order includes a 10% buffer for cuts and settling - always order at least 5-10% extra to avoid a second delivery.
  • At 2 inches instead of 4.0 inches, the same material would cover approximately 400 sq ft.
  • A 4 in depth is in the standard range for residential driveways and road bases.

Next stepGet at least two supplier quotes - limestone prices vary significantly by region and grade. Ask about delivery minimums, since many suppliers require 5-10 ton minimum orders for delivery.
