Formula

volume (ft³) = L × W × depth(ft); tons = ft³ × density ÷ 2000

Example

A 20×10 driveway at 4 in deep needs about 67 ft³ ≈ 2.5 yd³ ≈ 3.3 tons of standard gravel.

Depth guidance

Walkways settle happily at 2–3 inches; driveways want 4–6 inches over a prepared base. Order 5–10% extra — gravel spreads thinner than planned more often than thicker.
