Estimate the volume, weight, and cost of gravel needed for driveways, pathways, and landscaping.
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.
Material estimates are approximate. Actual quantities may vary due to waste, site conditions, design changes, material dimensions, labor methods and local pricing. Always verify with a qualified contractor or supplier before purchasing materials.
