Gravel Calculator
Turn area and depth into cubic yards, then multiply by density to estimate the weight in tons.
Gravel Calculator
Turn area and depth into cubic yards, then multiply by density to estimate the weight in tons.
Method and assumptions
Figur converts the measurements you enter into area, volume, or material quantity using standard geometry formulas.
- Surfaces and depths are uniform unless you divide the project into separate sections.
- Waste allowance, manufacturer coverage, and package sizes should be checked before purchasing.
- Site conditions and installation requirements can change the final quantity.
Sources and references
No external data source is required: this calculator uses standard geometry formulas and the measurements you enter.
Frequently asked questions
What density should I use?
Most gravel is about 1.4 tons per cubic yard; check with your supplier.
Why does depth matter?
Deeper coverage needs proportionally more material.
