A gravel calculator determines how much gravel, crushed stone, or pea gravel you need for a project area. It calculates volume in cubic yards or cubic feet and converts to weight (tons) — the unit gravel is typically sold in.

- 3Weight: gravel weighs ~2,800 lbs/yd³ (1.4 tons/yd³)
- 4Compaction: gravel compacts 10–15%, so order ~15% extra
