The calculator treats the project as a rectangular area with a uniform depth. Pea gravel density can vary by moisture, stone size, and supplier. The default density is 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Always confirm product density, delivery minimums, and local pricing with your supplier before ordering.
How deep should pea gravel be?
Walkways and patios commonly use about 2 inches, while driveways or high-traffic areas may require 3 to 4 inches over a prepared base.
How much waste should I add?
A 5% to 10% allowance is typical for settling, uneven ground, spillage, and future touch-ups.
Is buying bulk gravel cheaper than bags?
Bulk delivery is usually more economical for medium or large projects, while bags are convenient for small areas and repairs.
