Gravel Calculator: How Many Tons Do I Need?

Use project dimensions and planned depth to estimate gravel in cubic yards and then convert the result to an approximate tonnage for ordering.

Start with cubic yards

The ATHENA Gravel Calculator uses length, width, and depth to calculate cubic yards. It also shows an estimated tonnage and a practical order quantity.

How are gravel tons estimated?

ATHENA uses an approximate conversion of 1.4 tons per cubic yard for planning. Actual weight varies with the type, density, moisture, and supplier of the gravel.

Example gravel order

Enter your finished area and planned depth, review the cubic-yard result, and use the ton estimate as a starting point when talking with your supplier.
