For a 1:2:4 mix, gravel is 4 of 7 parts. Gravel volume = mix volume × 4/7. Weight uses ≈1500 kg/m³.

Worked example

2 m³ of 1:2:4 mix needs 2 × 4/7 ≈ 1.14 m³ of gravel ≈ 1.7 tons.

Recommendations

  • For drainage, larger graded stone works better
  • Add 5% for compaction on driveways

Tips & advice
