All information is provided in good faith, however we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any information on the Site.
Calculator Estimates
The calculators on this Site produce estimates based on industry-standard density and coverage figures for pea gravel:
- Approximate loose density: 100 lb per cubic foot (approximately 1,602 kg per cubic metre)
- Approximate weight: 1.35 short tons per cubic yard (approximately 2,700 lb per yd³)
- Standard bag size: 50 lb covering approximately 0.5 cubic feet
Actual figures vary based on the specific gravel size you purchase (1/8", 3/8", and so on), moisture content, compaction, the supplier's measurement practices, and your site conditions. Always confirm exact quantities with your supplier before ordering. Consider ordering 5–10% extra to account for settling, compaction, and small measurement errors.
Pricing Information
Any prices quoted on the Site — in articles or returned by the cost calculator — are illustrative ranges based on US national averages at the time of writing. Local prices vary significantly based on your distance from a quarry, fuel surcharges, season, and supplier pricing policies. Use the prices on this Site only to gauge whether a quote you receive falls within a reasonable range. For an actual quote, contact a landscape supplier in your area.
Not Professional Advice
The Site is not a substitute for advice from a licensed landscape contractor, civil engineer, or construction professional.
