Material & project assumptions

Density and bag values are editable planning assumptions. Confirm the product label or supplier specification.

Reinforcement quantities follow your inputs, not a structural design. Base volume excludes its own waste and compaction. Trench fill does not subtract pipe displacement.

Prices are optional. Tax and additional charges are included only when explicitly entered or covered by the saved terms. Placement labor is excluded. Estimates are not supplier quotes.

User-entered supplier prices; delivery and tax require confirmation.

No detailed supplier conditions were saved. Confirm delivery and other charges before ordering.

Product specifications and assumptions

Saving a reference preserves your inputs. Apply individual values only when they match the product you will buy.

  • Density: 1.4 US tons/yd³ — unverified planning assumption; confirm for this product.
  • Bag yield: 0.5 ft³; bag weight: 50 lb; confirm the selected bag product.
  • Shrinkage: 0% — entered planning allowance; no product-specific compaction rate verified.
Section budget and delivery planning

Destination and timing identify a delivery you plan to share. They do not establish supplier service eligibility. Combined orders are chosen below after saving sections.

Labor, equipment and other project items

All added item prices are your estimates, not researched local rates. Include applicable taxes in these unit prices. Blank charges remain unknown; enter zero only when confirmed. Save the section to update the project budget.

Supplier order terms

Amounts are flat dollar charges for this order. Leave unknown charges blank; enter zero only when confirmed. Weight limits use your entered density. Choosing another supplier clears these quote fields and the delivery location.

Your entered unit price, rounding, delivery, and short-load assumptions apply. Saved supplier minimums and brackets are not automatically enforced in manual quote mode.

Supplier prices & delivery rules

Set an optional weight capacity under Supplier order terms; loads use whichever volume or weight limit is lower. Confirm the payload limit and material density with your supplier. Short-load fees apply to each load below your threshold. Base material and rebar costs are excluded.

Entered delivery fees: $0.00 · Short-load fees: $0.00

Use a researched supplier price

These are product-specific examples, not regional averages. Applying one sets the listed unit rate. Review delivery, minimum-order and density terms before using the totals. Editing the unit rate switches to manual quote mode.

FROM MEASUREMENTS TO AN ORDER

Plan your gravel driveway

What to measure

  1. Measure the driveway footprint in sections where width or finished depth changes.
  2. Decide whether the entered depth describes finished compacted material or loose fill. Apply shrinkage only when converting from finished to loose volume.

Worked example: 30 ft × 10 ft × 4 in

30 × 10 × (4 ÷ 12) ÷ 27 = 3.7037 yd³; divide by 0.80, then multiply by 1.05.

5% waste · 20% shrinkage

Neat volume
3.7037 yd³
Volume with allowances
4.8611 yd³

Illustrative dimensions and allowances. Use your project specification and supplier’s product data. Quantities shown are before supplier rounding.

Included in this quantity

One aggregate layer with the entered shrinkage and waste assumptions.

Measure or price separately

Excavation, fabric, drainage, edging, other aggregate layers and compaction equipment.

Choose the specified product

Specify the aggregate grade for each layer. A base product containing fines is different from clean drainage stone. Confirm loose density and actual volume loss for the selected product.

Before booking the order

Identify whether the yard sells by volume or weight and verify the ton definition. Confirm payload limits, drop location and whether each layer needs its own delivery.
