## How to Calculate Gravel Needed

### Formula

**Cubic Yards = (Length × Width × Depth in feet) / 27**

**Tons = Cubic Yards × 1.4**

Gravel weighs approximately 2,800 lbs (1.4 tons) per cubic yard. This can vary from 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on the type and moisture content.

Exemplo Resolvido

A driveway 30 ft long, 10 ft wide, with 3 inches of gravel.

  1. Depth in feet: 3 / 12 = 0.25 ft
  2. Volume = 30 × 10 × 0.25 = 75 cu ft
  3. Cubic yards = 75 / 27 = 2.78 cu yd
  4. Tons = 2.78 × 1.4 = 3.89 tons
