Gravel Calculator
Estimate gravel, crushed stone or landscape rock by cubic yards, tons, bags and cost for driveways, paths, patios, drainage and base layers.
Use supplier data when available. Empty density uses the selected material estimate.
Estimate gravel for a layer
Use this gravel calculator for a driveway, path, patio base, drainage trench or landscape rock bed. Enter length and width in feet, depth in inches, material density, waste and price to estimate cubic yards, tons, bags and cost.
Density and ordering notes
- Gravel density varies by rock type, size, moisture and compaction, so supplier data is better than a generic average.
- Driveway and base layers usually need compaction and may require separate sub-base, geotextile, drainage and grading work.
- Delivery can be limited by both truck payload and bed volume; confirm minimum order, delivery fees and dump location before buying.
