Gravel Calculator

For decorative ground cover and walking paths, 2 inches is usually enough. For a driveway, build it in layers: a coarse crushed-stone base of 3 to 4 inches, then a finer top layer.

Measure length and width in feet, set your depth, and the calculator returns cubic yards, an estimated weight in tons, and a bag count.

Gravel is almost always cheaper in bulk by the cubic yard or ton, and bagged gravel is heavy to move one 50 lb bag at a time. Bags make sense only for small repairs or when you cannot take a delivery.

Because suppliers often sell by the ton, the tons estimate here helps you order. Treat it as a range, since stone weight varies with size and moisture.
