A full tri-axle dump truck load (commonly used in our network) usually carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which translates to roughly 14 to 17 tons of gravel, and cost is the per-ton price plus delivery. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion but spreading is not guaranteed. If you need guaranteed spreading or compacting, plan to hire a local landscaper or request it in Order Notes so we can advise on options.

A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which equals roughly 14 to 17 tons for most gravels. As an example, that amount will cover about 1,200 to 1,500 square feet at a 2-inch depth or 400 to 500 square feet at a 6-inch depth, depending on depth and compaction. Use our material calculator for a precise estimate based on your desired depth and material type.

You can place gravel directly on compacted dirt for light paths, but for driveways and long-term stability we recommend preparing the subgrade and installing a compacted crushed base. Adding a geotextile fabric helps reduce weed growth and separation, and 2 to 4 inches of compacted road base under the top gravel improves drainage and reduces rutting in desert soils. Sand alone is not a substitute for a proper crushed base in our dry, occasionally wet desert conditions.

For driveways in West Arizona, crushed 3/4u0022 stone or 3/4u0022 minus (crusher run) are common choices because they compact well and resist movement. Decomposed granite (DG) and 3/8u0022 rounded rock are popular for yards and walkways where a finer, more finished look is desired. Regional availability varies, so check our product pages and photos, and add color preferences in Order Notes if appearance matters.

For drainage and compaction, coarse crushed base or road base (crusher run) is the preferred layer under gravel; it locks together and compacts to form a stable surface. Sharp sand is not recommended as the primary base because it shifts more easily and does not provide the same interlock. In Littlefield's climate, a compacted crushed base of 2 to 4 inches under the top layer gives the best long-term performance.

Quantity depends on depth: for a 500 sq ft area at 2 inches depth you need about 3 to 4 cubic yards, roughly 4 to 6 tons of gravel. A typical 2-car driveway (about 400 to 500 sq ft) with a 3-inch top layer over a compacted base will usually require about 5 to 8 tons. Hello Gravel's online material calculator can give a precise estimate for your exact dimensions and chosen material.

Hello Gravel sources from local suppliers where available, but service to Littlefield depends on supplier coverage in your zip code; enter your zip code to confirm availability. Remote deliveries can incur additional fees or minimums due to distance and drive time, and our site will show any delivery charges at checkout. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

Tailgate spreading is sometimes available and may be offered by drivers at their discretion when requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Full spreading and compaction with equipment is generally arranged through a local landscaper or contractor; costs vary by job but commonly range from a modest flat fee to an hourly contractor rate depending on complexity. If you need spreading or compaction, request it in Order Notes so we can advise on options and local providers.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days after ordering, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, subject to supplier and carrier availability. Because Littlefield is a remote area in West Arizona, deliveries can sometimes take longer and may be affected by road conditions, heavy rains during monsoon season, or supplier scheduling. We recommend ordering early for planned projects and contacting our team if you have a tight timeline.
