Find tons of stone for a garden bed, dry-stack wall, or path — pick fieldstone, flagstone, river rock, or limestone for a more accurate weight.
Estimate only — irregular stone shapes vary more in coverage than uniform gravel.
We convert your area and depth into cubic yards, then multiply by the typical density of your chosen stone (1.3-1.5 tons per cubic yard). Irregular stone like fieldstone or flagstone can vary more than crushed gravel, so treat the result as a starting point and round up for a wall or path with gaps.
Measure the wall's length and average height as "length" and "width" here, and use the wall's thickness as depth — then round up, since stacked stone has more air gaps than a flat bed.
This tool uses density presets for larger landscaping and wall stone (fieldstone, flagstone, river rock, limestone). For crushed stone driveway base or paths, see the gravel calculator.
