What is Gravel/Sand Calculator?

Calculates the exact amount of gravel, sand, or other aggregates you need for landscaping, paving, or construction projects. Enter your area dimensions and desired depth to get volume and weight estimates for common material types.

How to use

  1. Step 1 — Enter the length, width, and depth of the area you need to fill. Switch between metric and imperial units as needed.
  2. Step 2 — Select your material type (gravel, sand, crushed stone, topsoil, etc.) to apply the correct density factor.
  3. Step 3 — View the calculated volume in cubic yards/meters and weight in tons/tonnes. Adjust quantities or export the estimate.

Result

A homeowner building a 20 ft × 10 ft patio base needs 4 inches of crushed gravel. The calculator shows they need 2.47 cubic yards or approximately 3.33 tons of material to order.
