All values are estimates. Gravel volume uses 27 ft³ per cubic yard; a waste percentage (10% default) is applied once to the order quantity. Density values are estimated and vary with material and compaction. Optional cost lines use only the prices you enter — the calculator does not assume market rates. Verify with a qualified contractor or supplier.
