Gravel Calculator
Plan aggregate orders using dimensions, depth, overage and a configurable tons-per-cubic-yard density.

Estimated weight4.2 tons
Estimated material cost$231.00
Gravel density varies significantly by stone type, gradation, moisture and compaction. Use your supplier’s ton-per-yard value when available.
How this tool works
Volume is converted to cubic yards, then weight = cubic yards × material density.
Example
A driveway section can be converted from square footage and compacted depth into an estimated tonnage for a supplier quote.
Common questions
Why is gravel density editable?
Different aggregates, gradations, moisture levels and compaction states can have materially different weight per volume.
Does tonnage include compaction?
Only if the dimensions and density you enter reflect the compacted design condition.
