Pea Gravel Calculator
Calculate pea gravel needed in cubic yards.
How It Works
Volume = Length × Width × (Depth ÷ 12). Weight ≈ Cubic yards × 1.3 tons.
Example
A 10 ft × 10 ft area at 2 in deep: 16.7 cu ft ≈ 0.62 cu yd → ~0.8 tons.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is pea gravel used?
Paths, play areas, drainage beds, and around plants. Its smooth stones are easy on feet and pets.
Why is pea gravel lighter than crushed stone?
Round stones pack with more air space, so a cubic yard weighs a bit less.
Do I need a weed barrier?
Landscape fabric under pea gravel greatly reduces weed growth and keeps stones from sinking into soil.
