A standard tri-axle dump truck commonly carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards, depending on the material and local truck configuration. One cubic yard covers roughly 162 sq ft at 2 inches and 108 sq ft at 3 inches, so a typical truckload covers roughly 1,620 to 2,268 sq ft at 2 inches or 1,080 to 1,512 sq ft at 3 inches. Densities vary by material, so use our calculator or ask for a supplier estimate for tons versus cubic yards.

Bulk delivery is often more cost-effective per unit for medium to large projects because you avoid bagging and handling costs, but the break-even point depends on material type, delivery distance, and storage space. For small projects, bagged material can be more convenient despite higher per-unit cost. Use our quantity calculator to compare total cost of bulk delivery versus bags for your specific job.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout but it is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. Hello Gravel does not guarantee full installation or labor; some local suppliers or contractors offer spreading and installation services and costs vary, so we recommend requesting quotes from local pros for labor rates. For simple spreading, ask the driver on arrival whether they can help and note that additional labor charges may apply.

Quotes are estimates based on current supplier pricing and availability; final pricing may be confirmed by the local supplier before dispatch and can change with material availability or scope changes. We accept major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay through a secure online checkout. Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to modify an order; changes are easiest before dispatch but are subject to supplier processing.

Tight access, narrow streets, low-hanging branches, and uneven driveways can limit truck placement and may require curbside or driveway-offload delivery options. Such conditions can result in partial unloads, additional access fees, or a different drop location; provide detailed access notes at checkout and photos if possible so the supplier can plan. Drivers will assess safety on arrival and may refuse unsafe loads; we recommend contacting our team ahead of time to discuss any special access needs.

Yes, due to regional sourcing materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone reflect local geology so color and texture can vary from photos. Seasonal demand and weather can affect availability and prices, particularly during wet seasons or peak landscaping months, so ordering in advance is advisable. If appearance or grading matters, add notes at checkout and contact customer service for details before ordering.
