Want this question answered?
Gravel does not absorb water as much as soil. Gravel has larger pore spaces and lacks the fine particles that help retain water, so water tends to flow through gravel more easily. Soil, on the other hand, has small pores that can hold and retain water.
The answer will depend on the depth to which the gravel is to be spread.
You will need about 3.7 cubic yards (around 4.75 tons) of gravel.
AnswerThe density of gravel varies depending on many many things. For one there is packed and loose density. Next the density varies much of how many fines and coarses (sand and rock) are in the gravel mixture. There are many ways to find the density of gravel but takes a little know how. So there is no definite answer to this question.The density of compacted gravel will vary from 2100-2300 kg per cubic meter.

A: One cubic foot. That would be 0.037 cubic yard (rounded)
This depends on the size of gravel, the water content of the gravel, and the material composition of the rock used to make the gravel. Typically 1 cu.yd. of gravel wieghs 3000 lb.
The answer will depend on the depth to which the gravel is to be spread.
Knowing that 1 cubic foot is pretty much equal to 100 pounds or 0.05 ton, 1 ton of gravel is around 20 cubic feet.
You will need 0.309 cubic yards (about 600 pounds) of gravel.
i saw $20-25 for coin size type gravel
486 cubic feet
$8.00
1 cubic yrd is around $50
1 cubic yard = 1.3 tons
500 pounds cement, 1500 pounds sand, 1600 pounds gravel. Mix with 32 gallons water
