Gravel Calculator
Estimate crushed stone or pea gravel for driveways, paths and drainage layers. Volume comes from area × depth; weight uses a density you control (loose gravel is lighter than compacted crushed stone).

- Landscape fabric under gravel suppresses weeds and keeps the stone out of the soil.
Volume = Area × Depth · Weight = Volume × Density.
Typical loose densities: pea gravel ≈ 1.4–1.5 t/m³ · crushed stone ≈ 1.5–1.7 t/m³ · compacted +10%.
