Measuring guide
Measure before you buy
Gravel quantity starts with the depth you intend to place. A weight estimate needs the density of the specific material from your supplier.
Measure the space
Use feet for project length and width. Break irregular areas into rectangles and calculate each one.
Check the product
Use dimensions, packaging, and coverage from the specific material you plan to purchase.
Adjust the allowance
Change the starting 10% for the layout, cuts, spillage, and site conditions you expect.
The math
How this estimate is calculated
Length × width × depth in feet = cubic feet. Multiply by 1 + the extra allowance, then divide by 27 for cubic yards.
Quantities are for material planning. Confirm order units, coverage, and installation details with the product or supplier.
