How much does a ton of limestone gravel cover? ›

How much does a ton of limestone cover? For a thickness of 4 inches (or approximately 10 centimeters), a US ton of limestone can cover an area of around 40 to 54 square feet (or around 4 to 5 square meters).

Length in feet x Width in feet x Depth in feet (inches divided by 12). Take the total and divide by 21.6 (the amount of cubic feet in a ton). The final figure will be the estimated amount of tons required.

Understanding Size and Coverage

Using 2 inches for the depth, the following measurements are a guide to the amount of gravel coverage per ton: 1/4 to 1/2 inch gravel, 100 square feet per ton; 1/2 to 1 inch gravel, 90 square feet per ton; and 1 1/2 to 2 inches gravel, 80 square feet per ton.

One yard of #57 limestone gravel weighs approximately 1.4tons.

Crushed limestone cost. Crushed limestone costs $30 to $38 per ton, $1.59 to $2.00 per square foot, or $35 and $54 per cubic yard.

As a general guide, one ton of gravel typically covers approximately: 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth. 80 square feet at a 3-inch depth. 60 square feet at a 4-inch depth.

Quantity: 1000kg (1 tonne) bulk bag. Coverage: 1000kg of 10mm limestone chippings will typically cover 11m² (11m x 1m) at a depth of 50mm. Consists of: 10mm limestone chippings. Usage: Limestone chippings are suitable for paths, driveways and other large areas of landscaping.

tonnage, in shipping, the total number of tons registered or carried or the total carrying capacity. Gross tonnage is calculated from the formula GT = K₁V, where V is the volume of a ship's enclosed spaces in cubic metres and K₁ is a constant calculated by K₁ = 0.2 + 0.02 log₁₀ V.

The estimated weight is based on an average weight of 2.26 tons per cubic yard of limestone. The estimated cost is based on the average cost of limestone of between $40 and $55 per cubic yard.

Typically, larger dump trucks can carry about 28,000 pounds or about 14 tons. On average, smaller dump trucks can transport around 13,000 to 15,000 pounds or 6.5 to 7.5 tons.

How many yards are in a ton of sand? ›

A cubic yard of sand weighs 2,400 lbs. A ton of sand is approx. 4/5 of a cubic yard.

A ton of gravel with average-sized pebbles is about 0.705 cubic yards, or 19 cubic feet, assuming it has been screened for debris and contains no leftover dirt, sand, etc. Looks about right then. That pile probably averages out to a foot high, so roughly 6x3x1 or 5x4x1.

Radius in feet x Radius in feet x Depth in feet (inches divided by 12) x pi (3.14). Take the total and divide by 21.6 (the amount of cubic feet in a ton).

Limestone is a sedimentary rock whereas gravel can be made up of unconsolidated rock fragment. Limestone is often more uniform in colouring, usually coming in white, buff or grey. Gravel is made up of many colours, with common options being brown, white or a mixture of shades.

Pea gravel, crushed granite and steel slag are some of the cheapest gravel options for driveways.

The load capacity is 30000lbs. So that is 15 tons. Now I have simplified the process.
