Density (lb/ft³)

Price per ton ($)

Volume 0.6173

Weight 0.8333

Total cost ($) 0

Formula: tons = (L × W × depth/12) × density ÷ 2000

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Length = 10

3. Width = 10

4. Depth = 2

5. Density = 100 lb/ft³

6. Price per ton = 0 $

8. Volume = 0.6173

9. Weight = 0.8333

10. Total cost = 0$

Find how much sand you need for paver bedding, sandboxes or fill. Results in cubic yards, tons and cost.

The math behind it

Volume (ft³) = length × width × depth, converting depth from inches to feet.

Weight = volume × density. Dry sand ≈ 100 lb/ft³, wet sand ≈ 120 lb/ft³.

10 ft × 10 ft at 2 in deep → 16.7 ft³; at 100 lb/ft³ = 1,667 lb ≈ 0.83 tons.

How much paver sand do I need?

Bedding sand is usually 1 inch deep under pavers.
