Cubic yards and tons of gravel or crushed stone for a driveway, path or base layer.

How it's calculated

Cubic yards = length × width × depth (in) ÷ 12 ÷ 27. Tons = cubic yards × the material's weight per cubic yard. Gravel is typically 1.3–1.5 tons per cubic yard; 1.4 is the default. Your supplier's figure for their material is the one to use.

Example

A 50 × 10 ft driveway, 4 inches deep: 6.17 cubic yards × 1.4 = 8.6 tons.

Typical weights (vary by supplier and moisture)
