One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and covers about 162 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 108 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, 81 sq ft at 4u0022 depth, and 54 sq ft at 6u0022 depth. Coverage changes with how compacted the gravel is and the type of stone used. Use these numbers to estimate material needs before getting a precise quote.

For 1,000 sq ft, you need about 6.2 cubic yards at 2u0022 depth and about 9.3 cubic yards at 3u0022 depth. With typical local prices of roughly $45 to $90 per cubic yard delivered in the Hemet area, material cost will commonly fall between $280 and $840 before any extra fees. Final price depends on the gravel type, local supplier rates, and whether delivery is included or has a fee.

The most cost-effective option in Hemet is to order common base or recycled crushed materials in the minimum bulk quantity (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) and choose standard delivery timing. Recycled crushed concrete or crusher-run/base gravel is usually less expensive than decorative rock. Compare quotes from local suppliers and avoid rush delivery to keep costs down.

Cost depends on width and depth; for example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3u0022 depth needs about 1.85 cubic yards. At $45 to $90 per cubic yard delivered, expect material costs around $85 to $165, but most suppliers have minimums and there may be delivery fees or base preparation costs. For a typical full-size driveway (20 ft wide by 20-40 ft long) costs scale up and often include base work and compaction, so request a site-specific quote.

Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway in Hemet. We recommend at least 4 to 6 inches of compacted base gravel for vehicle traffic, with an additional 2 to 3 inches of top decorative gravel if desired. Hemet's seasonal wash and occasional heavy rains mean a solid, well-compacted base and proper drainage are important to avoid rutting and washouts.

A 10x10 area (100 sq ft) requires about 0.62 cubic yards at 2u0022 depth, 0.93 cubic yards at 3u0022 and 1.23 cubic yards at 4u0022. Given typical local delivered prices of $45 to $90 per cubic yard, material cost for a 3u0022 layer would be roughly $42 to $84, but Hello Gravel has a minimum order (3 tons) that may exceed this small need, so check options for purchasing the small quantity or combining orders with neighbors.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft and needs about 2.5 cubic yards at 2u0022 depth, 3.7 cubic yards at 3u0022 depth, or 4.9 cubic yards at 4u0022 depth. Material costs at $45 to $90 per cubic yard typically range from about $110 to $440 depending on depth and material selected, plus any delivery, grading, or compaction fees. For driveways, also budget for base preparation and drainage to get a durable result in Hemet's climate.

In the Hemet area, the least expensive options are usually recycled crushed concrete, crusher-run (also called base gravel), or locally sourced 3/4u0022 minus. These materials compact well and are less costly than decorative river rock or washed pea gravel. Regional availability affects price, so ask for local options when ordering through Hello Gravel.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically carries about 5 to 7 cubic yards depending on how high it is loaded; a standard pickup bed usually holds roughly 1 to 2 cubic yards heaped. Hello Gravel's deliveries are made by commercial dump trucks with a minimum order of 3 tons, and many suppliers can deliver small loads, but availability for trailer-sized loads varies by supplier—contact us to confirm if a delivery can match your trailer capacity or if you need a different delivery option.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, gravel color and texture reflect Hemet's regional geology and can vary from batch to batch. Photos give a general idea, but exact matches are not guaranteed; add color preferences in Order Notes and we will do our best to accommodate them. If appearance is critical, request a sample or ask for specific supplier details before ordering.
