Gravel Calculator

Gravel typically weighs 2,400-2,900 lbs per cubic yard depending on the type.

A driveway typically needs 4-6 inches of compacted gravel base.

Break irregular areas into smaller rectangles and circles, calculate each section separately, then add all volumes together for your total gravel estimate.

Crushed angular stone like #57 or #3 gravel is ideal because the jagged edges lock together providing a stable, compacted base that resists shifting under vehicle weight.
