Itemized gravel driveway installation example

These are the same quantities and unit prices used by the downloadable app PDF. A cost line can represent measured work, a selected product allowance or a distinct site task. Check which interpretation applies before replacing any amount.

Gravel driveway installation example — USD Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |

Site survey and setting-out | 1 job | $220.00 | $220.00 |

Excavation and spoil | 620 sq. ft. | $4.00 | $2,480.00 |

Geotextile allowance | 680 sq. ft. | $1.00 | $680.00 |

Sub-base allowance | 18 ton | $75.00 | $1,350.00 |

Base compaction labor | 620 sq. ft. | $3.00 | $1,860.00 |

Edge restraints | 115 linear ft. | $11.00 | $1,265.00 |

Surface gravel allowance | 8 ton | $95.00 | $760.00 |

Final grading | 1 job | $280.00 | $280.00 |

Subtotal / example total | $8,895.00 |

How the subtotal is calculated

The example line for excavation and spoil is 620 sq. ft. × $4.00 = $2,480.00. This line is one part of the complete 8-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.

The document sums the rounded line amounts to $8,895.00 . Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.

Measurement to verify: Measure vehicle area, excavation depth, edge length and drainage falls. Selection to verify: Specify sub-base and surface aggregate separately because grades and depths differ.

Assumptions and exclusions

Confirm access for delivery and compaction equipment before stripping the existing surface.

Outside the stated scope: No paving, drainage pipework or public highway connection.

Weak ground or buried services can require a deeper base and revised quantities. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
