One ton of gravel is roughly 0.67 cubic yards and will cover about 216 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 108 sq ft at 2 inches, or 72 sq ft at 3 inches. Actual coverage varies with stone size and compaction; rounded or angular stones pack differently. Use our material calculator or contact our team to confirm quantities for your project.

Assuming a typical driveway 20 ft long by 10 ft wide (200 sq ft) and a 3-inch base, you would need about 2.8 tons of gravel, which rounds up to our 3-ton minimum. With local Arizona delivered prices of $25 to $60 per ton, expect material cost roughly $75 to $180, plus any site prep or spreading. Final price depends on material choice, depth, and whether you request tailgate spreading.

For a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (1,000 sq ft) at 3 inches depth you need about 14 tons of gravel.

Ask Hello Gravel for a delivered quote and recommended depth for your site.

Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway, especially in vehicle traffic areas; we recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel for light residential use and a deeper base for heavier vehicles. Sells' dry, desert conditions can cause shifting if the base is too shallow, so proper compaction and a stable subgrade are important. Request guidance from our team when ordering.

Cheapest driveway options often include crusher run (also called 3/4u0022 minus) or recycled crushed concrete, which pack well and are commonly available locally. These materials save money but may differ in color and dust compared with decorative gravels. Consider tradeoffs between cost, appearance, and maintenance when choosing a material.

At a per-ton delivered price of $25 to $60, 500 tons would cost roughly $12,500 to $30,000 before any bulk discounts or special hauling arrangements. Large orders often qualify for negotiated pricing and require coordination for truck staging and delivery schedule. Contact Hello Gravel for a custom quote and logistics plan for high-volume deliveries.

Free gravel is uncommon and often comes with risks like questionable quality, contamination, or the need for legal permission to take it. You can check local roadwork projects, municipal surplus, or community listings, but always confirm ownership and whether removal is allowed. For reliable, permitted materials and delivery, Hello Gravel is the safer option.

Buying in bulk delivered by the truck is usually the most cost-effective option for most Sells projects, because per-ton pricing is much lower than bagged materials. Using locally sourced materials or recycled aggregates can also reduce cost. Use Hello Gravel's online quote tool to compare types and get the best delivered price for your zip code.

Hello Gravel offers an online ordering process with standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST, subject to supplier and truck availability. Local quarries and landscape yards may offer quicker pickup if you can load or arrange local hauling. If timing is urgent, tell us your timeframe and site access so we can prioritize scheduling.

Lower-cost alternatives include decomposed granite, crushed recycled concrete, or compacted crusher run depending on the look and function you want. For decorative beds, mulch or native rock might be less expensive and reduce dust, though they behave differently for drainage and maintenance. Evaluate appearance, drainage, and durability before choosing an alternative for Sells' desert climate.
