You multiply the length and width of the area (in feet) by the depth (in feet) to get the cubic feet. Then divide by 27 to get cubic yards.

Generally, one cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.4 tons (2,800 pounds), though this varies depending on the specific type of gravel.

A standard gravel driveway requires a total depth of 4-8 inches, often consisting of multiple layers of different sizes of gravel.

For a typical walkway with light foot traffic, a gravel depth of 2-3 inches is usually sufficient.

Pea gravel consists of small, smooth, rounded stones usually 1/8 to 3/8 inch in diameter, often used for walkways, dog runs, and landscaping.

Yes, especially for driveways or heavy traffic areas, a base layer of larger crushed stone helps prevent settling and improves drainage.

First find the volume in cubic yards, then multiply by 1.4 (or the specific density factor for your gravel type) to get tons.
