Frequently Asked Questions
Why is gravel sold by both volume and weight?
Suppliers often quote gravel by the ton for delivery pricing but you're filling a volume — this calculator converts your project's volume into an estimated tonnage using a typical gravel density, though exact density varies by material type.
What depth should I use for a gravel driveway?
A typical gravel driveway base is 4-6 inches deep, sometimes with multiple layers (larger base rock topped with finer gravel) for better drainage and stability — check local guidance for your soil conditions.
Does gravel density really vary that much?
Yes — different gravel and aggregate types (pea gravel, crushed stone, river rock) have different densities, so the 1.4 tons/cubic yard used here is a reasonable average estimate; ask your supplier for the exact density of your chosen material.
