GravelCalc is a free planning tool for driveways, paths, landscaping, French drains, and paver bases. Enter the project dimensions, gravel type, waste allowance, and local pricing to estimate weight, volume, and total cost instantly.

Would love to see a visual diagram or sketch feature where I can plot the shape of the area instead of just entering dimensions, since most of my projects aren't perfect rectangles and it throws off the estimates.
Finally a gravel calculator that doesn't make you guess how much waste to add, and the cost-per-ton tied to your zip code is a really nice touch. Saved me from ordering way too much for my French drain.
Love how clean the input fields are, with the waste allowance slider right next to depth and pricing. Makes it feel like a real tool instead of a generic calculator.
Tried it for a backyard French drain and it gave me a volume number that matched what my gravel supplier quoted almost exactly, which honestly surprised me. The local pricing field is a nice touch since most calculators ignore that part.
Love how clean the input fields are, with the waste allowance and local pricing right alongside the dimensions. Most calculators make you dig through menus for that stuff.
