Measure your area and we'll work out how many tons of gravel it takes — using the real weight per yard, not a rule of thumb. Then get a delivered price for it, no phone call required.
Material matters for the tonnage, not just the price — gravel weighs roughly twice what mulch does per yard, so the same area needs a different number of tons.
Your area
Driveways, patios, beds, parking pads — anything with square corners.
Every shape comes down to square feet first. A rectangle is length times width, a circle is pi times the radius squared, and a triangle is half the base times the height. Multiply that area by your depth converted to feet (depth in inches divided by 12), then divide by 27 to get cubic yards.
Converting yards to tons is where material choice matters. We use the real, material-specific density for whatever you pick — heavier materials like gravel weigh considerably more per yard than lighter ones like mulch, so the same size project needs a different number of tons depending on what you're covering it with. That's why a ton of compost covers more than twice the ground a ton of topsoil does.
