Gravel: Rain-Friendly Drainage And Stability • Schedule Gravel Delivery On Your Date
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Frequently Asked Questions - Scranton gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Scranton.
Prices vary by gravel type and local supply, but expect roughly $30 to $70 per ton for common crushed stone in the West North Carolina region. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and final price depends on stone type, delivery distance, and any fees; check your zip code or request a quote for an exact price. For a firm number, use our online checkout or contact our team at 855-241-8884.
You can order gravel through Hello Gravel to be delivered to Scranton from local West North Carolina suppliers, which simplifies finding a nearby quarry or yard. We connect you with regional haulers and handle scheduling and delivery; check avaIlability by entering your zip code on our site or call 855-241-8884 for help. Local garden centers and small suppliers may also sell gravel by the bag or yard if you prefer to pick up.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose gravel, though actual loads vary by supplier. One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2-inch depth (or 108 sq ft at 3 inches), so a 12-yard load could cover roughly 1,944 sq ft at 2 inches or 1,296 sq ft at 3 inches. For exact coverage for your project in Scranton, calculate area, choose your target depth, and ask us to confirm truck size and yield.
No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway. For vehicular traffic, a gravel surface usually needs 3 to 4 inches of compacted finish on top of a well-prepared base, and many driveways benefit from a crushed stone base of 6 to 12 inches depending on soil and traffic. In West North Carolina's hilly or seasonally wet spots, thicker bases and pRoper drainage are especially important.
One cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on stone type and moisture; a good rule of thumb is about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Cost per cubic yard in the Scranton area commonly ranges from about $40 to $100 depending on material and delivery; per-ton pricing is often $30 to $70. For an exact weight and cost for your selected gravel, request a quote through Hello Gravel with your zip code and material choice.
For driveways in the Scranton area, crushed stone like 3/4" crushed stone, "crusher-run", or #57 stone are common choices because they compact well and provide load-bearing strength. A layered approach—compactable base material (crusher-run) topped with a 3/4" or 1/2" angular finish stone—gives good durability and drainage. Local suppliers may offer regionally sourced stone that works better with West North Carolina soils, so ask about local options when ordering.
In gardening, the "70/30" guideline often refers to mixes for succulents and rock gardens where about 70% mineral material ( grit, sand, or small gravel ) and 30% organic soil improves drainage. For Scranton gardeners using gravel layers, a simIlar ratio can help with fast-draining pots and rock beds, but it is not recommended for vegetable beds where higher organic content is needed. Always match the mix to the plants you are growing and use landscape fabric or edging to keep gravel from mixing into soil layers unintentionally.
Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, that amount will cover roughly 340 to 370 sq ft at a 2-inch depth, depending on stone density. Use this quick guide: a small walkway (3 ft x 20 ft) at 2" needs about 0.35 to 0.5 tons, a one-car driveway (12 ft x 20 ft) at 3" needs roughly 2.5 to 4 tons, and a patio (12 ft x 12 ft) at 2" needs about 1.3 to 1.6 tons. For exact estimates based on chosen depth and material, use our material calculator or contact our team for a project-specific quote.
Hello Gravel delivers by contracted dump truck fleets, typically tri-axles, with standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day delivery avaIlable if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout, but note it is not guaranteed. Because Scranton is a small community, confirm access and drop location in your order notes so drivers can safely deliver to your site.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
