A yard of gravel typically weighs between 1,200 and 1,800 pounds, depending on the specific type and size of gravel used. Some common gravel weights include:
- Crushed stone gravel: 1,300-1,500 lbs/yard
- Pea gravel: 1,200-1,400 lbs/yard
- 3/4 inch gravel: 1,500-1,700 lbs/yard
- 1-1/2 inch gravel: 1,700-1,800 lbs/yard
The weight can vary based on factors like the source quarry, how tightly compressed the gravel is, and whether any fine particles are included. In general, larger gravel sizes weigh more per yard than smaller gravel. Properly estimating gravel needs requires knowing the projected weight to ensure enough material is ordered and delivered.
