Yes, bulk delivery is almost always cheaper per ton than buying bagged gravel for medium and large jobs.

It can, but check your truck's payload capacity first. One cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 2,000 to 2,600 lbs depending on rock type, which is within many full-size truck payloads but may overload smaller pickups. If you are unsure, choose bulk delivery or a rented truck with sufficient capacity.

No, 2 inches is too thin for a driveway. For vehicle traffic, plan for a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone or road base with an optional 1 to 2 inch top dressing. Montclair's dry climate helps drainage, but structural depth and compaction are key to preventing ruts and settling.

For a 10 ft by 10 ft area (100 sq ft) at 2 inches depth you'll need about 0.62 cubic yards (roughly 0.8 tons). At 4 inches depth you need about 1.23 cubic yards (roughly 1.6 tons). Order a bit extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and grading.

A 3/4u0022 crushed stone or 3/4u0022 minus (mix of fines and angular stone) is commonly recommended for driveway bases because it compacts well. For a finished surface consider 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022 decorative gravel on top if you want a smoother look. Local suppliers can suggest the best gradation for Montclair soil and truck traffic patterns.

Locally sourced road base, crusher run, or recycled crushed concrete are usually the least expensive options. They work well for bases and utility areas where appearance is less important. Costs reflect local supply and demand, so Hello Gravel can connect you to the most affordable local option.

Costs depend on width, depth, material, and whether you need base preparation. Assuming a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at a 4 inch compacted depth, you need about 2.5 cubic yards (around 3.2 tons) of material; material costs might range widely but often fall between $150 and $400 plus delivery and site prep.

Crushed recycled concrete or crusher run is a lower-cost alternative that still provides stability and drainage for paths and utility areas.

Consider the look and performance you need, and ask Hello Gravel for local availability and pricing.
