How many tons of gravel do I need for a driveway?

A single-car driveway (12 by 40 feet at 4 inches deep) needs about 10 tons. A two-car driveway (20 by 40 feet at 4 inches deep) needs about 16.6 tons. Add a 10-15% buffer for compaction and settling.

Why does my supplier quote in tons but I calculated in yards?

Truck scales measure weight directly and consistently. Volume, on the other hand, shifts with moisture and compaction. Billing by ton also ties to legal payload limits on delivery trucks.
