Gravel Driveway Layer Calculator

Estimate volume and weight separately for driveway base and surface aggregate layers.

Inputs

Note

Driveway area (sq ft)

Range: at least 0.01 sq ft

Enter the measured horizontal footprint of the driveway.

Base layer thickness for volume takeoff (in)

Range: at least 0 in

Use the project-specified thickness in the same loose or compacted condition used for the density input. This tool does not select a base thickness or calculate compaction loss.

Base aggregate density matching thickness basis (lb/cu ft)

Range: at least 0.01 lb/cu ft

Use supplier or test data for the selected base material and the same loose/compacted condition. ASTM C29/C29M can measure aggregate bulk density; it does not provide one universal gravel density.

Surface layer thickness for volume takeoff (in)

Range: at least 0 in

Use the project-specified thickness in the same loose or compacted condition used for the density input. This tool does not select a surface thickness or calculate compaction loss.

Surface aggregate density matching thickness basis (lb/cu ft)

Range: at least 0.01 lb/cu ft

Use supplier or test data for the selected surface material and the same loose/compacted condition.
