One ton of gravel covers roughly 240 sq ft at a 1-inch depth, about 120 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 60 sq ft at 4 inches, so calculate based on the depth you plan to lay.

A 10x10 area is 100 sq ft. At 2 inches depth you need about 0.83 tons (roughly 0.62 cubic yards) and at 3 inches about 1.25 tons (about 0.93 cubic yards), but Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order so you would typically order 3 tons. Using a West California price range of $45 to $90 per ton, expect to pay about $135 to $270 for material plus any delivery fee or standard charges.

Costs depend on driveway width and depth. For a typical single-car driveway (20 ft long by 10 ft wide = 200 sq ft) you would need about 2.5 tons at 3 inches depth (about 1.85 cubic yards), which still falls under our 3-ton minimum, so plan to pay for 3 tons. With prices ranging $45 to $90 per ton, material cost would be roughly $135 to $270 plus delivery; check Hello Gravel for exact local delivery fees and next-day availability.

Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway; it may shift and develop ruts under vehicle use. For a residential driveway we recommend 3 to 4 inches of top gravel over a compacted base, or 4 to 6 inches total if you're building from bare soil. Costs rise roughly in direct proportion to depth: moving from 2 inches to 4 inches will about double the number of tons needed and therefore material cost.

Cost-effective and durable options include crushed rock/aggregate road base, crushed concrete (recycled), and 3/4-inch minus crushed stone; these compact well and resist movement. Prices typically run in the lower end of the West California range, roughly $45 to $65 per ton delivered, but exact cost depends on local supplier and material availability in Bangor.

You can put gravel over grass, but it is not recommended without removing or killing the grass first and preparing a compacted base or weed barrier, otherwise the grass will push through and the surface will be uneven. Hello Gravel delivers to Bangor and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but full installation is not guaranteed; professional installation costs vary widely, often $200 to $1,000+ depending on area and prep work needed.

Yes, DIY installation is common for small areas. You will need wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes, a plate compactor rental (often $50 to $100 per day), and several hours of labor; for a small driveway plan on a full day of work for two people. Savings depend on local labor rates but doing it yourself can save several hundred dollars compared to paying a contractor, though you should factor in time and any rental equipment costs.

With proper base prep and periodic maintenance, a gravel driveway can last many years; high-traffic areas may need spot repairs and regrading every 1 to 3 years and a light top-up every 3 to 7 years. Plan to add 1/2 to 1 inch of new gravel every few years in worn spots; Hello Gravel can help calculate how much to order based on your driveway size and condition.
