Estimates are approximate. Always account for compaction, waste, over-excavation, unsuitable soils, drainage requirements, geogrid zones, block embedment, access, and supplier-specific material weights. Current assumptions: Dense Base/Class 5 = 1.55 tons/CY, 3/4" Clear Limestone = 1.35 tons/CY, 1/4" Trap Chips = 1.40 tons/CY, Washed Sand = 1.35 tons/CY. Recommended allowances: Dense Base = 15%, Clear Limestone = 7%, Trap Chips = 5%, Washed Sand = 5%.
