A tri-axle load of gravel (10 to 12 cubic yards) will cover roughly 1,200 to 2,000 square feet at a 2-inch depth, or about 800 to 1,300 square feet at a 3-inch depth, depending on material compaction. Desert conditions in Cortaro may require slightly thicker layers for good drainage and stability, so plan accordingly. Ask our team for a project-specific estimate based on your desired depth and driveway or yard shape.

Cost depends on driveway width and depth. For example, a 200-foot driveway at 10 feet wide and 3 inches deep needs roughly 20 to 26 tons of gravel, which typically costs about $600 to $1,600 delivered in Cortaro depending on material and local rates. This estimate excludes site prep, compaction, and border work, so contact Hello Gravel for a tailored quote including delivery timing.

Generally no for regular vehicle traffic; 2 inches is thin and may wash out or rut under cars, especially after monsoon rains in the region. For driveways in Cortaro we recommend at least 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel over a stable base, and proper grading to control runoff. Two inches can be fine for footpaths, temporary coverings, or a light topping over an existing solid base.

Buying in bulk (meet or exceed the 3-ton minimum) and choosing locally sourced materials usually yields the best per-ton price in Cortaro. Schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) rather than expedited service, request free delivery areas, and compare material options like crushed base vs. decorative rock to lower costs. Use Hello Gravel’s online calculator and local quotes to compare costs and avoid small load surcharges.

As a rule of thumb in Cortaro: 1 ton of gravel covers about 115 square feet at a 2-inch depth, about 230 square feet at a 1-inch depth, and about 77 square feet at a 3-inch depth. Actual coverage varies by rock size, compaction, and moisture content, so use these figures as estimates and consult Hello Gravel’s material calculator for precise quantities. Ordering a little extra (5-10%) helps account for spreading and compaction.
