Small project tipFor quantities under 1 cu yd, buying bagged gravel from a home improvement store may be more practical — no delivery minimum to worry about.

This is an estimate only. Gravel density varies by type, size, and moisture content — actual weight may differ by 10–15%. Prices vary by region and supplier. Always confirm quantities and pricing with your local supplier before ordering.
