How many yards of crushed concrete do you need for a 300' x 12' driveway?

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of crushed concrete needed for a 300' x 12' driveway, first find the area in square feet: 300 x 12 = 3,600 square feet. If you plan to have a depth of 4 inches (which is standard), convert that depth to feet (4 inches = 1/3 foot). Multiply the area by the depth: 3,600 x (1/3) = 1,200 cubic feet. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, divide by 27: 1,200 ÷ 27 ≈ 44.44 cubic yards. Therefore, you would need approximately 45 cubic yards of crushed concrete.
