Gravel Driveway Calculator
Whether you're upgrading your home’s curb appeal or installing a new parking area, knowing exactly how much gravel you need can save time, money, and unnecessary trips to the store. Our Gravel Driveway Calculator helps you accurately estimate how much material your project requires — in cubic yards and tons.
How the Gravel Driveway Calculator Works
Our tool takes into account:
- Width and Length of your driveway
- Depth of gravel required (in inches or feet)
- Gravel Type (pea gravel or crushed stone)
From there, it automatically calculates the cubic yards and tons of material you'll need.
Why Accurate Gravel Estimation Matters
Ordering the right amount of gravel is crucial. Ordering too little can leave you short, while overestimating leads to wasted material and cost. This calculator helps ensure:
- Fewer project delays
- Better cost estimation
- Smarter delivery planning
Gravel Types Supported
✅ Crushed Stone (3000 lbs/yd³) – ideal for long-term durability, drainage, and load-bearing strength.
✅ Pea Gravel (2700 lbs/yd³) – better for aesthetic appeal, easy installation, and pedestrian-friendly surfaces.
How ArcSite makes calculating gravel driveways easier
Automatically estimate materials directly from drawings
Once your materials are setup in ArcSite, you can layout your project on the canvas to visually show the scope of work. You can have a 6" gravel driveway product setup and draw it over the driveway area. Use are satellite maps to speed things up if a driveway area is already defined in the image.
Once the product is drawn, the amount of material and price is instantly available to send out for approval–it's that easy!
ArcSite Estimates and Approvals Can Help Win Deals Faster
Take advantage of drawing on a mobile device like an iPad or Android tablet. On the first consultation, sketch out the lot and apply the products. Once the estimate is ready, output a complete proposal with your agreement – all ready to sign and get the deal closed.
