How the pea gravel calculator works
Volume = length × width × depth. Cubic yards = cubic feet ÷ 27. Tons = cubic yards × selected density.
For a better estimate
- Measure depth after deciding whether the gravel is decorative or structural.
- Use landscape edging where needed to reduce migration.
- Density is approximate; supplier values are best for ordering by weight.
