About the Gravel Calculator
This gravel calculator determines the volume (cubic yards and cubic feet) and weight (tons) of gravel, crushed stone, or pea gravel needed for any driveway, walkway, patio, drainage layer, or landscaping project based on the project dimensions and desired depth. Accounts for the density of different gravel types (pea gravel, crushed limestone, granite, river rock) for accurate weight calculations. Built for homeowners, landscapers, and contractors ordering aggregate materials.
How to Use the Gravel Calculator
- 1
Enter the project length and width in feet (or meters).
- 2
Enter the desired depth in inches.
- 3
Select the gravel type to get the correct density for weight calculation.
- 4
See cubic yards, cubic feet, and tons needed for your project.
- 5
Add 10% overage for uneven grading — gravel settles and compacts 10–15% after installation.
