How The Calculation Works
Formulas, material coverage assumptions, waste buffers, and rounding standards.
Computes raw cubic feet and converts to cubic yards (divided by 27).
Crushed stone settles and compacts 10-15% under mechanical roller or vehicular weight.
Density multiplier (~2,800 lbs or 1.4 tons per cubic yard) determines total delivered truck weight.
