Gravel Coverage Calculator

Formula

To calculate the total gravel needed:

\[ \text{Total Gravel Needed} = \frac{\text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \left( \frac{\text{Depth}}{12} \right)}{27} \]

Where:

\(\text{Total Gravel Needed}\) is the amount of gravel required in cubic yards
Length is the length of the area in feet (ft)
Width is the width of the area in feet (ft)
Depth is the depth of the gravel layer in inches
27 is the number of cubic feet in a cubic yard

What is Gravel Coverage?

Gravel coverage refers to the amount of gravel needed to cover a specific area to a certain depth. It is commonly used in landscaping, construction, and gardening projects[^1^][^2^].

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Length = 20 ft
Width = 10 ft
Depth = 3 inches

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Total Gravel Needed} = \frac{20 \times 10 \times \left( \frac{3}{12} \right)}{27} \approx 0.22 \text{ cubic yards} \]

The total gravel needed is approximately 0.22 cubic yards.
