Gravel Calculator

For a standard driveway, you’ll typically need 4-6 inches of gravel. Our gravel calculator helps you determine the exact amount based on your driveway’s dimensions. A 10×50 foot driveway at 4 inches deep requires approximately 6-7 cubic yards of gravel.

Crushed stone is angular and manufactured by crushing larger rocks, making it ideal for base layers and drainage. Gravel is naturally rounded and better for decorative purposes and driveways. Our calculator accounts for the different densities of these materials.

To calculate gravel needs manually: measure length and width in feet, multiply to get square footage, convert depth to feet (divide inches by 12), multiply area by depth for cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Our gravel calculator automates this process for accurate results.

Coverage depends on the depth. At 2 inches deep, one ton of gravel covers approximately 100 square feet. At 4 inches deep, it covers about 50 square feet. Our calculator provides precise coverage estimates based on your specific project requirements.
