Estimate gravel by volume and weight

Gravel is often ordered by the ton even though project dimensions produce a volume. This calculator first finds cubic yards, then applies an approximate tons-per-yard factor based on the selected material.

Density varies

Moisture, stone size and supplier grading change real bulk density. Treat the tonnage as a planning estimate and confirm the supplier's conversion before ordering.
