How much gravel for a 10 x 1 m path?
A starting estimate for a 10 x 1 m path at 4 cm finished depth.
Estimated result
Pre-calculated from the example inputs below. Adjust them in the calculator for your own numbers.
- Volume
- 0.4 m3 (0.52 yd3)
- Weight
- 0.7 t (0.78 US tons)
- Bag count
- 36 x 20 kg bags
A 10 x 1 m garden path at 4 cm finished depth needs the volume, tonnes, and bag count shown below. Paths usually use a shallower depth than driveways. Edge restraints help keep the gravel in place.
Example inputs used
- Length: 10
- Width: 1
- Depth: 4
- Aggregate density: 1.6
- Bag size: 20
These are starting values for this example. Measure or confirm your own figures, then open them in the gravel calculator.
Assumptions and limits
- Uses a typical decorative gravel density of 1.6 t/m3.
- Includes a 10% waste and settling allowance.
- Add edging to reduce spread and loss along the path.
This is an estimate. Site conditions, compaction, and aggregate type can change the final quantity.
