Gravel in Luke Air Force Base, AZ

A single tri-axle dump truck (common local size) usually carries about 10 to 14 tons. With typical delivered gravel pricing in West Arizona, a full truckload can range roughly from $300 to $900 depending on material type, local supplier rates, and distance from the quarry. Exact pricing depends on the gravel type and delivery details, so request a quote for your zip code to get an accurate number.

Delivered prices for common driveway and landscaping gravel in the Luke AFB area generally range from about $30 to $60 per ton, which converts to roughly $40 to $85 per cubic yard using a typical 1.4 tons per cubic yard conversion. Regional supply, gravel type (crushed vs rounded), and seasonal demand can move prices up or down, so check our checkout or get a quote for an exact delivered price.

One cubic yard covers approximately 162 sq ft at 2u0022, 108 sq ft at 3u0022, and 81 sq ft at 4u0022. Using a common conversion of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons, one ton covers about 116 sq ft at 2u0022, 77 sq ft at 3u0022, and 58 sq ft at 4u0022. These are practical estimates for planning; always round up a bit for waste and compaction.

For a driveway base near Luke AFB, a crushed rock base (3/4u0022 crushed rock, 3/4u0022 minus, or Class II/road base) is commonly recommended because it compacts well and drains. These base materials generally cost a bit more than loose decorative gravel or rounded river rock — commonly $5 to $20 more per ton depending on local availability. In West Arizona you may also see decomposed granite used; it performs differently and pricing varies by supplier.

A 12' x 20' driveway is 240 sq ft. At 3u0022 depth you'll need roughly 3.1 tons (about 2.2 cubic yards), so plan for about 3 to 4 tons to allow for compaction and minor overage. That amount is often close to Hello Gravel's minimum order (3 tons), and is a fraction of a full truckload, so you'll likely receive a partial truck delivery rather than an entire tri-axle load.

Hello Gravel's national policy is a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary: many local deliveries are free for typical orders, but remote drops or small orders can incur extra charges. Same-day delivery is uncommon but may be possible with local suppliers; call our team with your zip code for availability.

For a typical single-car 12' x 20' driveway (240 sq ft) installed at 3u0022 depth, material alone is often $90 to $240 depending on material choice and local rates. Adding labor to spread and compact typically adds roughly $20 to $50 per ton or about $2 to $6 per sq ft, so total installed costs commonly fall in the $500 to $1,500 range. Prices vary by crew rates, site access, and whether a proper base or edging work is required, so get local installation quotes for a precise cost.

Yes. Ordering a full truckload often lowers the per-ton cost because delivery and loading are more efficient for suppliers. Small orders near the 3-ton minimum may have a higher per-ton price or delivery surcharge. If you need several tons, ask suppliers or Hello Gravel for both per-ton and truckload pricing — you may save money by ordering a full truck if you have the storage and project need.
