About
Construction and landscaping quotes usually speak in cubic yards of material delivered, while scales and invoices may use US short tons (2,000 pounds). There is no single universal factor: crushed stone, sand, topsoil, and asphalt all pack to different bulk densities.
This calculator applies a simple formula: weight (tons) = volume (yd³) × tons per yd³, and the inverse for tons-to-yards. Presets are mid-range estimates for quick orders; for bidding or compliance, use your supplier’s spec sheet or a certified scale.
“Yards” in this context means cubic yards—a volume—not linear yards along a tape measure. If you only know length × width × depth in feet, divide cubic feet by 27 to get cubic yards first.
