    How It Works

    1

    Enter Your Dimensions

    Choose your project type and area shape, then enter length, width, and depth. The calculator supports rectangular, circular, and L-shaped areas in both metric and imperial units. Select your gravel type so the density calculation matches the material you plan to order.

    2

    Adjust Settings

    Fine-tune with compaction density if your gravel will be rolled or tamped, and set the waste factor between 5% and 10% to account for spillage, uneven ground, and settling. Enter your supplier's price per tonne and delivery fee for a personalised cost estimate.
