PROJECT SETUP
Tell us what you're planning
1 · MEASURE
Project areas
Add separate sections instead of forcing the project into one rectangle.
2 · MATERIAL ASSUMPTIONS
Use your supplier's numbers when you have them
Preset density is a planning value, not a product specification. Moisture, grading and compaction change actual weight.
3 · SUPPLIER & BUYING
Turn the math into an order
Bagged gravel & hauling options
Payload output is only a theoretical minimum trip count. Use the vehicle's actual payload rating and account for passengers, tools, tongue weight and other cargo. Never exceed the manufacturer's rating.

WHY THIS PLANNER IS DIFFERENT
Don't stop at cubic yards.
A basic gravel formula answers volume. A purchase decision also depends on material density, extra allowance, supplier minimums, order increments, delivery, bag sizes and the way you plan to move the material.
Plan the orderCombine separate areas and convert the project into supplier-ready tons, yards and bags.
Check what you already haveStart with tons, yards or bags and see the approximate coverage at your target depth.
Plan from a budgetEnter a spending limit and see how much material—and approximate coverage—that budget can buy.
Compare real quotesNormalize per-ton and per-yard quotes with different minimums, increments and delivery fees.
Keep assumptions visibleNothing hides behind a black box. Density, extra material, compaction and supplier terms are editable.
METHOD & LIMITS
What the result means
Why does the recommended order exceed the exact tonnage?
The planner can apply extra material, a compaction allowance, a supplier minimum and the supplier's sales increment. The result shows the exact planning quantity separately from the order quantity so you can see what changed.
Why is gravel density editable?
Bulk density varies with stone type, gradation, moisture and supplier. Presets are planning values only. A supplier-provided density or yield should take priority.
Does the planner tell me the correct construction depth?
No. Project-type depths are editable starting points for planning, not structural or code recommendations. Base preparation, drainage, soil, traffic and local requirements can change the appropriate section.
Does the price include tax, labor or equipment?
No. Cost output uses only the prices and fees you enter. Tax, equipment, labor, geotextile, edging, excavation and disposal are not included unless you add them outside this planner.
How does quote comparison handle different units?
The planner converts both quotes through the same editable material density. A per-ton quote and a per-cubic-yard quote can therefore be compared on the project quantity you entered, after each supplier's minimum and order increment are applied.
