How much pea gravel is needed to cover a 600 square foot driveway?

Answer 1

To determine how much pea gravel is needed to cover a 600 square foot driveway, you first need to decide on the desired depth of the gravel layer, typically 2-3 inches. For example, if you choose a depth of 3 inches (0.25 feet), you would calculate the volume by multiplying the area by the depth: 600 sq ft x 0.25 ft = 150 cubic feet. Since pea gravel typically weighs about 100-110 pounds per cubic foot, you would need approximately 15,000-16,500 pounds of pea gravel, which translates to about 7.5-8.25 tons.
