Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate the amount of aggregate needed?

Enter the length and width in meters, and the depth in millimeters. Select your material type and intended usage, and our calculator will determine the volume needed in cubic meters and tonnes.

What depth should I use for different applications?

Recommended depths vary by application: Driveways typically need 50-100mm, patios 100mm, and foundations 150mm or more. Always consult local building regulations for specific requirements.

How accurate are the calculations?

Our calculator provides estimates accurate to two decimal places. We recommend adding 10% extra material to account for compaction and wastage.
