Gravel Calculator | Estimate Gravel Amount & Cost for Your Project
Calculate gravel needs with multiple unit options. Estimate tons and cost based on area size and depth in feet, meters, inches, cm, or yards.
How It Works
Enter the dimensions of your area and desired gravel depth in your preferred units. Select gravel type or enter custom density. Our calculator will convert all measurements to feet and inches for accurate calculation of gravel volume, weight, and cost.
Unit Conversion Reference
Length Conversions
1 foot = 12 inches = 30.48 cm = 0.3048 meters
1 meter = 100 cm = 3.28084 feet
1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches
Weight Conversions
1 ton = 2000 pounds
1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons (varies by material)
Gravel density typically ranges from 95-130 lbs per cubic foot
Calculation Method
All dimensions are converted to feet and inches for calculation:
Volume = Length (ft) × Width (ft) × Depth (inches)/12
Cubic Yards = Cubic Feet / 27
Tons = (Cubic Feet × Density) / 2000
Advanced Gravel Calculation with Unit Conversion
Our enhanced gravel calculator eliminates the need for manual unit conversions. Whether you prefer metric or imperial measurements, simply input your dimensions in feet, meters, inches, centimeters, or yards, and our calculator handles all conversions automatically.
This powerful tool ensures accurate calculations regardless of your preferred measurement system. Construction professionals working with metric blueprints, DIY enthusiasts using imperial tape measures, and international users can all benefit from this flexible approach to gravel estimation.
The calculator automatically converts all inputs to a consistent measurement system before performing calculations. Your results include the converted dimensions to help verify accuracy and understand the calculations performed.
Proper unit conversion is essential for accurate material estimation. Our calculator eliminates common conversion errors that can lead to costly over- or under-ordering of materials, saving you time and money on your landscaping or construction project.
