Gravel Calculation Formulas
Area = Length × Width | Volume = Area × Depth | Weight = Volume × Density
To calculate gravel requirements: First calculate area in square units, then volume in cubic units (converted to cubic yards), then weight in tons by multiplying volume by density. Finally, calculate cost by multiplying weight by price per ton.
