Coverage Information

One ton of pea gravel typically covers approximately 100 square feet at 2-inch depth. Always order 10-15% extra to account for settling, compaction, and irregularities in the subbase.

Material & Cost Breakdown

Material Calculation Formula

Total Tons = (Length × Width × Depth/12) ÷ 27 × Density ÷ 2000 × Waste Factor

Calculate cubic feet: Length × Width × (Depth/12). Convert to cubic yards: ÷ 27. Multiply by density (lbs/yd³). Convert to tons: ÷ 2000. Apply waste factor for final amount.
