Gravel Calculator
Calculate gravel, crushed stone, and aggregate volume for construction.
About Gravel Calculator
The Gravel Calculator from ToolsOfIndia gives builders, landscapers and DIY builders a quick, dependable way to get answers without wrestling with formulas. Measurements use the metric sizes standard on Indian sites - 190 mm bricks, 50 kg cement bags and metre-based schedules of rates. Estimate the gravel needed for a driveway, a base layer or a fill by entering the area and the depth, with the tool returning the volume in cubic metres and cubic feet and the tonnage from a density. Indian construction uses gravel and aggregate for concrete bases and fills, and the tool applies a typical density so the weight maps to a supplier quote, which is usually in tonnes or brass. The tool handles metric and imperial depth units, and the compaction factor that real layers need. Because it is a pure local calc, nothing is uploaded. It is the gravel estimate that an under-fill always reveals too late. You will find it handy when estimating gravel for a driveway, while ordering a base layer in tonnes, or before filling a trench with gravel. Try it the next time a quick decision needs real numbers behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to calculate gravel needed?
Multiply length x width x depth to get volume. For driveways, 4-6 inches depth is typical. Walkways need 2-3 inches. Our calculator handles all unit conversions.
How much does gravel weigh?
Gravel typically weighs 1.4-1.7 tons per cubic yard or about 2,800-3,400 lbs per cubic yard depending on stone type and moisture content.
What gravel size for driveways?
Driveways typically use 3/4-inch crushed stone as base layer with 1/2-inch or pea gravel on top. Larger stones (1-2 inch) are used for drainage and construction.
How is gravel tonnage computed?
Multiply the volume by the density, about 1.6 tonnes per cubic metre for typical gravel, which the tool applies.
What is the compaction factor?
Loose gravel compacts by about 20 to 30 per cent, so order more loose volume, which the tool factors in.
