Calculators by material

Density is the whole game in a tonnage estimate. Porous asphalt weighs 130 lb/ft³ and hot mix weighs 145 — using the wrong figure over-orders by more than a truckload on a big lot.

• Hot Mix Asphalt145 lb/ft³ compactedFor driveways, parking lots and roads.
• Warm Mix Asphalt142 lb/ft³ compactedFor long-haul jobs, cool-weather paving and night work.
• Porous Asphalt130 lb/ft³ compactedFor stormwater-regulated parking lots and overflow areas.
• Recycled Asphalt (RAP)127 lb/ft³ compactedFor rural driveways, farm lanes, parking areas and base layers.
• Cold Mix Asphalt145 lb/ft³ compactedFor pothole repair, winter patching and temporary surfaces.
• Crushed Aggregate Base135 lb/ft³ compactedFor the sub-base under driveways, lots and roads.
