Measure and Order
When tailgate spreading, you typically get around 2 inches of coverage. However, depth may vary depending on the quantity delivered and the terrain.
Use this simple formula to calcualte how much Limestone you need or use the simple Gravel Driveway Calculator below
Step 1: Length (ft) × Width (ft) × Depth (in ÷ 12) = Cubic Feet
Step 2: Cubic Feet ÷ 27 = Cubic Yards
Pro Tip: It’s always a good idea to call in your order and speak with the delivery crew ahead of time to go over what to expect. If possible, meet the driver when they arrive to ensure everything goes according to plan.
