Gravel & Stone Calculator

Our gravel and stone calculator helps you determine how many cubic yards or tons of material you need for driveways, pathways, drainage projects, and landscaping. The calculator converts your dimensions into the appropriate units for ordering bulk materials from landscape suppliers.

Gravel and stone are typically sold by weight (tons) or volume (cubic yards). The calculator provides both measurements since suppliers may use either. The conversion assumes approximately 1.4 tons per cubic yard, which is typical for most gravel types. Heavier materials like limestone may weigh more.

This tool is perfect for DIY homeowners planning driveway or pathway projects, contractors preparing estimates, and anyone asking "how many tons of gravel do I need for my driveway?" Remember to account for compaction - loose gravel compacts about 20-25% when driven on.
