Shell Script to find disk usage of the directory

I need to find the disk usage of a specific directory. I don't want the listing for files.

I have used 

find /home/a491504/ -type d -exec du -akS {} \;

Is there any other way to fetch the directory list with disk usage? (% disk usage would be great)

Use du -sh

From man page:

-s, --summarize       display only a total for each argument
-h, --human-readable  print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)
