How much is gravel per yard or per ton?

By Site Measure · Maintained by Vincent Ruan · Published September 23, 2026 · Updated September 24, 2026

The short answer

A cubic yard of pea gravel costs a median of $85.49 ($60.00–$100.00, 6 lists) in the lists below, before delivery. By the ton, #57 and clean 3/4 inch stone runs a median of $42.75 and crusher run or road base a median of $43.00. These are the suppliers’ own list prices in their own units; they are not a national average and not a quote for your area.

Gravel cost per yard and per ton

Each median combines every list in its group, so it can differ from the figure on a material’s own page: the #57 row here also includes 3/4 inch clean stone, while the #57 calculator’s median uses #57 rows only, and the crusher run and road base row joins what those two calculators price separately.

Per-yard and per-ton prices are kept apart because converting between them needs the product’s weight per yard. To turn a per-ton price into a per-yard price, multiply by the pounds per cubic yard and divide by 2,000: at 2,700 lb per yard, $42.75 per ton is $57.71 per yard. The gravel density table lists published weights per yard, and the cubic yards to tons converter does the conversion.

Pea gravel cost per yard and per ton

Pea gravel is a median of $85.49 ($60.00–$100.00, 6 lists) per cubic yard and a median of $56.98 ($39.99–$210.00, 6 lists) per ton in the lists below, before delivery. Per ton, the top of the range is TN Pea Gravel from Piedmont Landscape Materials in Concord, NC at $210.00, and the bottom is Bedrock Landscaping Materials in Denver, CO at $39.99.

Price your own job

Cost is quantity × unit price + delivery. Measure the area and depth in the gravel calculator, enter your supplier’s price per yard or per ton and the delivery fee, and it returns the total alongside the cubic yards and tons. For a specific material, start from the pea gravel, #57 stone, crusher run or river rock calculator. For a driveway budget, the driveway cost guide works through a full project.

Gravel delivery cost

Delivery is charged by zone, by the mile or by the hour, and it weighs most on small orders. In the lists here it runs from flat zone fees of $69.99–$199.99 (Main’s Landscape Supply) to $10 a mile (Down To Earth Materials) and $7 a road mile with a $60 minimum (Mulch Pros). Truck sizes, delivered prices by order size, minimum orders and short-load fees are compared in how much a dump truck load of gravel costs.

Per ton or per yard?

A cubic yard of gravel usually weighs more than a US ton, so the per-yard price of a product is normally higher than its per-ton price. Main’s Landscape Supply prints both for its pea pebble, which implies about 2,800 lb per yard. Compare quotes in one unit, using the weight the supplier bills by.

How these prices were collected

Each row is a price shown on the supplier’s public price list or product page on September 23, 2026; the landscape rock and decomposed granite rows were added on September 24, 2026, mostly from the same suppliers’ lists, plus one new supplier (Sutherland Landscape Supplies). Lists with a printed date show it; live store prices without one are marked by their terms only. We excluded national estimate sites and prices that appear only after entering a ZIP code, and did not convert per-ton prices into per-yard prices. No supplier paid to be listed, and we have no business relationship with any of them.
