Gravel Calculator
Order the right amount of stone. Whether for a driveway, pathway, or drainage, calculate the exact tons and cubic yards needed based on the specific density of your material.
Project Details
Gravel Densities
Different stones have different weights. We use the following averages for calculation:
| Material | Lbs per Cubic Yard | Tons per Cubic Yard |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Gravel | 2,700 | 1.35 |
| Dense Grade (Base) | 2,850 | 1.43 |
| Sand | 2,400 | 1.20 |
| River Rock | 2,900 | 1.45 |
Buying Tips
- Delivery Fees: Most quarries charge a flat rate for delivery. Try to order everything in one load to save money.
- Compaction: Gravel compacts over time. Order 5-10% extra if you want your final depth to remain at exactly the level you calculated after driving on it.
