AR aggregate estimating
Measure ground. Order gravel with confidence.
GravelGauge turns camera boundaries and depth readings into cubic yards, tonnage, and truckloads—with material density and compaction assumptions kept in view.
Built for contractors, estimators, landscapers, and aggregate suppliers.

Founder promises
An estimate you can inspect.
Visible calculation assumptions
Material-aware compaction factors
No invented precision
From camera to quarry
One trace, five transparent calculations.
The pipeline preserves the geometry and material assumptions behind every result, so crews can review an estimate before placing an order.
area = ½ |Σ(xᵢyᵢ₊₁ − xᵢ₊₁yᵢ)|
tons = yd³ × (1 + compaction) × density
Step 1
Trace the boundary
Tap around a driveway, trench, or pad while ARKit or ARCore raycasts each point onto the detected ground plane.
Step 2
Resolve irregular geometry
GravelGauge projects captured points onto a best-fit reference plane and applies the Shoelace formula to calculate surface area.
Step 3
Integrate depth
Use a uniform target depth or sampled LiDAR depth maps to estimate uneven excavations through volumetric integration.
Flat surface
Area × depth
Uneven surface
Depth grid sum
Output
Cubic yards
Step 4
Account for compaction
Material-specific density and settling coefficients turn raw cubic yards into a practical quantity to order.
Step 5
Plan the delivery
Convert order volume into US tons and whole truckloads using configurable hauling capacity.
Material intelligence
Gravel is not one generic coefficient.
Density and compaction vary by material. GravelGauge starts with practical ranges and lets paid users tune values to local quarry specifications.
