Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

You can compute the number of cubic yards from the dimensions of your project. The trick is each of the dimensions has to be restated to yards. 1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches.
If the shape is rectangular, volume = length x width x thickness, but if you measure in feet or inches, convert each measurement to yards.
If shape is not rectangular, compute the area, then multiple by thickness.
If you need tons, you need to know the density of blacktop in tons/cubic yard. Sorry, but I don't know.

It will be regional and mix-design specific but for a (3/4) aggregate about 2 tons/yd3
