Gravel in Heber, AZ

Prices vary by gravel type, delivery distance, and load size. Hello Gravel shows exact delivered pricing at checkout for your zip code, but in West Arizona you can typically expect delivered gravel to fall in a broad range (roughly $30 to $80 per ton) depending on material and how rural your delivery address is.

A 100 ft x 20 ft driveway is 2,000 sq ft. At 2u0022 depth you need about 12.35 cubic yards (roughly 17.3 tons); at 4u0022 about 24.7 cubic yards (roughly 34.6 tons); at 6u0022 about 37.0 cubic yards (roughly 51.9 tons). These estimates assume a typical gravel density (~1.4 tons per cubic yard); actual tons may vary by material and compaction.

Using a typical density of 1.4 tons per cubic yard, one ton equals about 0.71 cubic yards (19.3 cubic feet). That covers approximately 116 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, about 58 sq ft at 4u0022 depth, and about 39 sq ft at 6u0022 depth. Coverage will change if your gravel is heavier or lighter than the assumed density.

A common tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards; using a 12 cubic yard example that equals roughly 16.8 tons. A 12 cubic yard load would cover about 1,944 sq ft at a 2u0022 depth (enough for most single-driveway jobs at thin depths). Pricing for a full truck depends on material and delivery distance, so check Hello Gravel checkout or request a quote for a delivered total.

Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway subject to vehicle traffic; it is best for temporary walkways or top dressing. For a permanent driveway in Heber, plan on at least 3 to 4 inches over a properly prepared base for cars and 4 to 6 inches where trucks or heavy loads are common. Increasing depth raises material costs roughly proportionally (doubling depth roughly doubles material tonnage), so balance durability needs against budget.

Common driveway choices are crushed stone (stable and compacting well), decomposed granite (DG, good for a compacted, natural look), pea gravel (pretty but shifts under tires), and river rock (decorative, poor for driveways). Crushed stone and DG are usually best for driveways; pea gravel and river rock are often more expensive by volume and may need edging or stabilizers. Availability and color vary regionally; Hello Gravel offers locally sourced options so check product pages or the aggregate quiz for what we stock near Heber.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds about 3 to 6 cubic yards of material depending on side height and how full you load it. In tons that is roughly 4 to 8 tons of gravel, but actual payload depends on the trailer's rated capacity and your vehicle’s towing limits. Always check the trailer’s GVWR and the gravel’s weight before loading to stay within legal and safe limits.

Buying in bulk (by the ton) with delivery is usually the most cost-effective for medium to large projects, since per-ton prices drop with larger loads. A full truck or contractor load can be cheapest per ton if you need a lot, while pickup or small trailer loads make sense for tiny jobs but increase per-ton costs. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; compare per-ton price plus delivery fees and consider pickup only for very small needs.

Material costs vary by type, but using a middle-range example of $40 per ton, a 100 ft x 20 ft driveway at 4u0022 (about 35 tons) would be about $1,400 for material alone. Spreading and labor typically add several hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars depending on access, grading, and whether you hire 1 or more workers or a crew with equipment. For an accurate total, request a quote that includes material, delivery, and any spreading service or labor estimates.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, gravel color and texture reflect local geology and can vary from product photos. You can add color or appearance preferences in Order Notes at checkout and our suppliers will try to match, but exact matches are not guaranteed. If appearance is critical, request photos from your local supplier or contact customer service before ordering.
