How Much does a Cubic Yard of Gravel Weigh?

One cubic yard of gravel can weigh between 2,400 to 2,900 lbs. Or up to one and a half tons approximately. Generally, a cubic yard of gravel provides enough material to cover a 100-square-foot area with 3 inches of gravel.

Calculate Cubic Yards for your Project

Cubic yards are used to measure all types of materials from crushed granite, to topsoil to organic compost mulch for your garden. A cubic yard is the volume of material which fits in a space one yard wide by one yard deep by one yard high.

Common materials measured in cubic yards:

When ordering these materials, the cost is usually based on cubic yards needed. Most vendors will help you with the exact conversion, but the calculator below will give you a good estimate. The easiest way to calculate how much material you will need is to first measure the dimensions of your project space in inches. Then use a cubic yards calculator, like the one below, that converts your measurements into for you. If you prefer to do the math, here’s an example of the steps to follow. To estimate the amount of gravel needed for a driveway 4” thick by 24’ long by 8’ wide: Convert the dimensions to inches ( 24’ * 12” = 288” ) ( 8’ * 12” = 96” ) Multiply the three dimensions together to find the number of cubic inches ( 288” x 96”’ x 4” = 110,592 cubic inches ) Divide the cubic inches by the number of cubic inches in a cubic yard (46,656) to find the number of cubic yards ( 110,592 ÷ 46,656 = 2.37 cu. yd. ).

How do you keep grass from growing through gravel?

You will need to get permeable landscape fabric. This will let the water reach the soil beneath your gravel but won't allow seeds to plant and grow. Simply rake your pebbles away from the grass and apply the fabric in sections - or remove all the gravel and lay the fabric before popping the gravel back over.
