Coverage depends on depth. As a rule of thumb: at 2 inches deep one yard covers about 162 sq ft, at 3 inches about 108 sq ft, and at 4 inches about 81 sq ft. Use the formula: coverage (sq ft) = 27 / depth(ft) to calculate other depths.

Cost depends on width, depth and material. For example, a 20 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway is 240 sq ft; at 3 inches deep you need about 2.2 cubic yards (roughly 3 tons). Using typical Oakridge pricing ($35–$70/ton) that example driveway would cost roughly $105 to $210 for material plus any delivery fee; use our calculator or request a quote for your exact dimensions.

Assuming a common depth of 3 inches, 20 tons is about 14–15 cubic yards and will cover roughly 1,500 sq ft at that depth. If you plan a thicker base (4 inches) coverage drops to about 1,100–1,200 sq ft. Exact coverage varies with the gravel density and compaction.

In Oakridge, the most economical options are usually recycled crushed concrete, bank-run gravel, or road base.

Availability and price vary by supplier, so check Hello Gravel for local options and rates.

A 10x10 area is 100 sq ft. At 2 inches deep you need about 0.62 cubic yards (roughly 0.9 tons); at 3 inches you need about 0.93 cubic yards (roughly 1.3 tons). Note Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so you may need to order more than the exact amount for small projects.

Volume-wise many full-size pickup beds can hold about 1 cubic yard, but weight is the limiting factor. One cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 2,500–3,000 lb, which can exceed a pickup’s payload rating and risk vehicle damage or unsafe driving. For safety and the Hello Gravel minimum order (3 tons), a dump truck delivery is usually the better option.

Yes, bulk gravel is almost always cheaper per ton or per cubic yard than the equivalent amount in 50-lb bags when you factor in material and handling. Bagged gravel is convenient for very small jobs or retail pickup but carries a higher price per unit. For most landscaping and driveway projects in Oakridge, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel offers better value.

A 7x14 trailer’s theoretical volume depends on side height: with 1 foot sides it holds about 3.6 yd3, with 1.5 ft sides about 5.5 yd3, and with 2 ft sides about 7.3 yd3. However, legal road weight limits and the trailer’s payload rating often limit how much you can safely load, so practical capacity is commonly 2–5 cubic yards for dense gravels. Always check the trailer’s payload rating before loading by weight.

Using a common tri-axle load of 10–12 cubic yards: at 3 inches deep one truck will cover roughly 1,080–1,300 sq ft. At 4 inches depth coverage drops to about 810–1,080 sq ft. Exact coverage depends on the truck’s actual delivered cubic yards and the depth you plan to spread.
