  • Density default ≈ 145 lb/cu ft (varies by mix, see selector).
  • Order tonnage = compacted tons ÷ (1 − compaction factor). Loose laydown is thicker than final compacted mat.
  • 1 US ton = 2,000 lb · square yards = sq ft ÷ 9.
  • Unit prices are reference values — confirm with local suppliers.
