Gravel in Peoria, AZ

In Peoria, expect basic landscape gravel to run roughly $30 to $60 per ton delivered, though prices vary by material, color, and supplier. Specialty decorative rock or colored gravels can cost more. Local geology and delivery distance affect final price, and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum for many deliveries.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in the Phoenix area carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 15 tons depending on the material). Delivered cost for a full truckload usually ranges from about $350 to $900 depending on material type, distance, and tipping location. Exact pricing is available at checkout and can change with availability and season.

A 10 cubic yard load (common tri-axle size) covers roughly 1,600 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 1,080 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, or 810 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. Tri-axle loads often measure 10–12 cubic yards, so scale those numbers up or down for your exact load. Always round up for compaction, waste, and grading; ask Hello Gravel for a materials check if you are close to the minimum order.

If you mean a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft), you'll likely need about 2 to 3 tons for a 2u0022 to 3u0022 surface—so most orders hit the 3-ton minimum. With typical material prices ($30–$60/ton) plus delivery, expect roughly $140 to $330 total. Larger or deeper driveways, higher-end decorative rock, or added spreading services will increase the price.

For Peoria driveways, a compactible base like 3/4u0022 crushed rock or crusher run makes a durable foundation, topped with 3/8u0022 to 3/4u0022 angular surfacing for traction. Angular, crushed material locks together better in vehicle traffic than rounded river rock, which can wash or shift. In hot, dry Arizona conditions, proper base preparation and good drainage matter more than color.

The most budget-friendly options that still work for driveways are crusher run (road base) or recycled crushed concrete, which compact well and cost less than decorative stone. These materials are commonly available around the Phoenix metro and are a practical choice if you want durability on a budget. Decorative pebbles and colored rock typically cost more and may not perform as well for vehicle traffic.

Crushed rock (angular, crushed stone) is generally better for driveways because it compacts and interlocks, resisting movement under tires, while rounded gravel shifts more easily. Cost differences are usually modest, with crushed rock sometimes slightly more expensive but offering better long-term performance. Consider crusher run as a base with crushed stone or decomposed granite on top for a stable, attractive surface.

Many local yards, including independent suppliers in the West Valley, offer both pickup and delivery, but policies and minimums vary by location. Hello Gravel can connect you with suppliers that offer pickup if you prefer to haul your own material, or we can arrange delivery and coordinate the hauler. Check supplier hours, vehicle size limits, and whether they require appointments before driving out.

Yes—Arizona red rock and locally sourced West Valley rock are popular for landscaping and decorative uses because of their color and regional character. For driveways, larger, angular pieces or a compactible base are needed; fine decorative rock alone may not perform well under vehicle traffic. If you want a red aesthetic for a driveway, combine a compacted base with a decorative surfacing layer and ask suppliers about local color variations.

Calculate volume by multiplying area (length x width in feet) by desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards: (L x W x depth)/27 = cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to estimate tons, though density varies by material. Example: a 20' x 40' driveway (800 sq ft) at 3u0022 depth is 7.4 cubic yards or roughly 9.5 to 10 tons—round up and factor in compaction and waste when ordering.

Yes, many suppliers and the Hello Gravel network offer better pricing for larger orders and contractor accounts—discounts vary by supplier and order size.
