Gravel Calculator — Cubic Yards, Tons & Cost

How to use

1. Measure the area: length × width, or a direct square-footage figure.
2. Set the depth in inches — compacted depth for driveways and bases.
3. Pick the material preset (or enter a custom tons-per-yard density).
4. Read yards, tons and truckload equivalents; price per ton or per yard if you have a quote.

About this tool

Gravel is sold by the ton but planned by the yard, and that mismatch is where orders go wrong. Enter your area as length × width or direct square feet, set a depth, and pick a material: crushed stone, pea gravel, river rock, limestone or a custom density. The tool converts to cubic yards, then shows the tonnage with the conversion spelled out, plus how many full-size 10-yard dump-truck loads that represents, so you know whether to order bags, one truckload or three. Optional price fields let you cost it per ton or per yard exactly the way your supplier quotes it. Remember that depth compacts — order to the compacted depth you actually want. The math runs entirely on your device.
