Landscape rock calculator

This prices a bed of landscape rock the way a contractor takes it off. Length and width in feet and depth in inches become cubic yards; yards become tons at the figure on your supplier's ticket; the rock is priced at your delivered cost per ton with your markup, the spreading at your labor per yard, and the tool ends on the price to quote with the yards and tons to order beside it. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan saves it against the customer and the job.

Cubic yards come from the tape, not the tailgate

Length times width times depth over twelve, over twenty-seven, is the yards of anything you spread, and the tool derives it so the order matches the bed rather than a guess. It rounds the yards and tons to the nearest whole for the truck and prices the exact fraction, so a change of half an inch in depth shows up in the price before it shows up as a short load.

Tons per yard is your supplier's number, and the tool asks for it

Rock is bought by the ton and laid by the yard, and the conversion depends on the stone and the size. The tool does not carry a density table, because a table on a website is a guess about a yard nobody has seen; enter the figure from the ticket for the product you are laying, and the tons to order will match what is delivered.

Material at your price, spreading by the yard, both as lines

The rock line is tons times your delivered cost, marked up to cover the yard you order over and the late delivery; the spreading is labor priced per yard laid, because that is how long it takes. Kept as two lines, the estimate lets a customer who wants a deeper bed see exactly what the extra inch costs in stone and in time.
