About the Gravel Calculator

The Gravel Calculator works out the gravel needed to cover an area to a given depth, in cubic metres, tonnes and bulk bags. It runs as plain JavaScript inside the page, which means there is no upload step, no queue and no size limit imposed by a server — the only limit is your own device.

What people use it for

  • Ordering gravel for a driveway or path.
  • Converting an area into bulk bags.
  • Checking a landscaper’s quantity.

Details

Loose gravel≈ 1,500 kg/m³
Bulk bag≈ 850 kg
Decorative depth50 mm
Driveway depth50 mm over a sub-base

The maths behind it

This tool uses Volume = area × depth, plus wastage. Weight = volume × density. Loose gravel is about 1,500 kg/m³ and a bulk bag holds roughly 850 kg. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.

Fifty millimetres is the usual depth for decorative gravel — deeper looks generous in the bag and then swallows your shoes. A driveway carrying a car needs a compacted sub-base underneath; gravel over soil will rut within a season.
