Gravel Calculator

Volume = length × width × depth. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet. Tons depend on material density, so the density used is shown in the result.

Estimate only. Density varies by quarry and moisture. For large orders, confirm with your supplier's scale ticket. Delivery, minimum order and labour are usually extra.

Plan a gravel patio in two layers.

Layers

Base: 4 inches compacted crusher run. Surface: 2 to 3 inches pea gravel or #57.

Worked example

Patio 10 x 20 ft: base 4 inches = 2.47 cubic yards; surface 3 inches = 1.85 cubic yards, before waste.

Note

Edge the patio so gravel stays in place. Calculate base and surface as two layers.
