Gravel Converters
Planning happens in volume; ordering happens in weight. These tools are built around the unit you actually need — cubic yards for coverage, tons for the invoice — each showing the conversion it performed rather than hiding it.
Gravel Calculator (Yards)
Cubic yards for any area and depth, with a reference table for the common square-footage cases.
Gravel Calculator (Tons)
Tonnage from your dimensions, with a yards-to-tons density table by material.
Cubic Yards to Tons Converter
Already know your yardage? Convert it straight to tonnage — and back.
Which unit should you think in?
Cubic yards answer "how much ground will this cover?" — useful for spreading depth and comparing your project's size. Tons answer "what will the supplier load and bill?" — because trucks carry weight, not volume. You usually need both: plan in yards, order in tons.
The bridge between them is density — roughly 1.35–1.6 tons per cubic yard for common gravel materials, with the exact figure per material shown on each tool. The general gravel calculator reports every unit at once if you'd rather not choose.
