The estimation of 1 cubic foot weighing 40 pounds is based on bags of topsoil. Some bags state a weight of 40 pounds, and some state a volume of 1 cubic foot.

The weight of gravel varies depending on the size of the pebbles and the amount of moisture the gravel contains. The typical weight of 1 cubic foot of gravel that is 1/4 inch to 2 inches in size is 105 pounds when dry, and 125 pounds when wet. It is important to know the weight of a cubic yard of gravel if you plan to transport it in your truck.
