Should I round up when ordering?

Yes — always order a little extra (5–10%) for settling, spillage and uneven ground. Weights are approximate and vary with material and moisture.

Gravel Calculator

Work out how much gravel you need for a driveway, path or bed — in cubic yards and tons.

Multiply the area by the depth to get the volume, then convert to the units suppliers use:

Cubic feet = Length × Width × (Depth in inches ÷ 12) · Cubic yards = Cubic feet ÷ 27

Gravel weighs roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard (it varies by type).

A 10 ft × 10 ft area at 2 in deep needs about 0.6 cubic yards (~0.9 tons).
