Landscaping material calculators that account for compaction
Work out exactly how much gravel, stone, or sand to buy — in cubic yards, tons, and bags. Unlike most calculators, BagTally builds in compaction so your base doesn't come up short, and tells you whether bagged or bulk is the smarter buy.

Why compaction matters
Dense, angular materials like crusher run settle 20–25% when tamped. Order only the finished volume and you'll come up short and have to reorder. BagTally orders the loose volume needed to reach full depth after compaction — the difference that keeps a driveway base from failing.
