Gravel Calculator
Crushed stone, pea gravel, road base — pick what you're laying, the area, and depth. We'll give you both cubic yards and tons (most yards charge by weight).
Depth rules of thumb
- Driveways: 4-6" total (2-3" base, 2-3" surface)
- Walking paths: 2-3"
- French drains: trench depth depends, but 3-4" pea gravel base around the pipe
- Patios: 4" crushed stone base, then sand and pavers
