How much gravel for a driveway?

The starting yield is an example for this bag size. Replace it with the product label; bag weight alone does not determine yield.
- 2 cu ft bags175 cu ft with allowance ÷ 2 cu ft per bag; rounded up.
- 88bags
What this estimate assumes
- One foot is 12 inches and one cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. Waste is added before computing each supply alternative.
- Bulk delivery, 2 cu ft bags and 3 cu ft bags are alternatives. Bag labels must match the selected volume; bulk minimums and order increments are not assumed.
- Bag yield entered: 2 cu ft/bag. Whole bags provide 1 cu ft above the volume with allowance.
- Only the selected supply method is listed; alternatives are not added together.

How to check this list before buyingUse this as a volume estimate
The calculator multiplies area by depth and adds your stated allowance. It does not select driveway layers, specify a material, model compaction, or convert volume to tons.
Use dimensions from your actual driveway plan. Ask the supplier about the product, its ordering unit, compaction needs, delivery access, and final quantity. A weight quote needs a product-specific conversion.
Record the selected material and supplier-confirmed quantity on the purchase PDF.
