Calculate gravel weight in tons and pounds from cubic yards or cubic feet with density options for pea gravel, crushed stone, and river rock.
Enter volume dimensions and density to calculate gravel weight.
Calculate volume in cubic yards, then multiply by gravel density to get tons.
Different gravel types have different densities. Pea gravel is lighter at 1.35 tons/yd³. Crushed limestone is heavier at 1.5 tons/yd³. Adjust the density field accordingly.
Wet gravel weighs 15-20% more than dry gravel. Suppliers may weigh wet material, affecting your order. Ask if weights are dry or wet when ordering by the ton.
A standard tandem dump truck holds about 10-14 tons of gravel or 6-8 cubic yards. Confirm truck capacity to plan number of deliveries needed.
About 1.4 tons (2,800 lbs) for crushed stone. Pea gravel is about 1.35 tons (2,700 lbs).
Yes. Wet gravel can weigh 15-20% more than dry gravel due to water filling voids between particles.
