Estimate the gravel for a driveway, path or drainage bed in both volume and weight so you can order by the yard or the ton. Enter the area length and width in feet and the depth of gravel in inches, and the calculator returns cubic feet, cubic yards and an approximate tonnage. Gravel is heavy, and most crushed stone weighs roughly one and a half tons per cubic yard, which is the default here and adjustable if your supplier quotes a different density. A two to three inch layer is common for a walking path, while a driveway base often calls for four inches or more built up in compacted lifts. Add a little extra for compaction and settling.

It multiplies area length, width, and depth for volume, then reports cubic yards and converts to tons using a typical gravel density.
A cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 1.4 to 1.5 tons depending on the stone, which the calculator uses to give tonnage.
Gravel driveways are often 4 to 6 inches deep. Enter your target depth in the same units as the area.
