Estimate gravel tons, cubic yards, truckloads, and material cost for driveways, pads, base rock, crusher run, drainage stone, and general sitework.
For 10,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep using general gravel, the estimate is about 238 tons with 10% waste included.
The calculator converts area and depth into volume, then uses the selected material density to estimate tons. Different gravel types weigh different amounts, so the material dropdown helps create a better planning estimate.
Tons = area × depth in feet × density ÷ 2,000
Crusher run, 57 stone, base rock, pea gravel, and general gravel can have different weights per cubic foot. The dropdown lets users pick a common material type instead of manually entering density.
This calculator provides estimates only. Actual gravel quantities can vary based on material type, moisture, compaction, supplier weights, subgrade conditions, grade changes, waste, access, and project specifications. Always confirm final quantities with plans, suppliers, inspectors, and qualified professionals before ordering material or bidding work.
