How to choose

Which calculator should I use?

Gravel vs pea gravel

Use the gravel calculator for driveways, drainage trenches, and compactable base stone. Use the pea gravel calculator for decorative walkways, patios, and rounded stone beds.

Mulch depth and bags

The mulch calculator supports rectangle, circle, and triangle beds with 2–4 inch depth presets. Output includes cubic yards and 2 or 3 cu ft bag counts for retail shopping.

Supplier-ready output

Every live tool shows a recommended order with compaction and waste allowance, plus tons and bag counts where relevant. Copy or share the estimate when you request a delivered quote.
