Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Yuma, CO

Delivered price per ton varies by material, supplier, and distance from the quarry or pit. Factors such as order size, road access, and local hauling rates affect the final price, so use your zip code at checkout or request a quote for an accurate delivered price. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will show any delivery fees or next-day surcharges up front.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used by local haulers often delivers about 10 to 14 tons, depending on the material type and local weight limits. Actual truck loads vary by supplier and the material's density, so your order confirmation will list the expected truckload and number of trucks if you need more than one load.

Use this formula to estimate cubic yards: (length ft x width ft x depth in inches) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons by multiplying by the material's weight per cubic yard (many aggregates fall around 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard); for example, a 20x20 area (400 sq ft) at 3 in depth is about 3.7 cubic yards or roughly 4.5 to 5.5 tons. For a 100 ft driveway at a typical 10 ft width, a 3 in layer is about 9.3 cubic yards or roughly 11 to 14 tons.

Total cost depends on material choice, delivery distance, and local labor rates. Expect separate line items for materials, delivery, and spreading; contractors often charge a per-hour or per-ton spreading/compact rate. For an accurate estimate, get a material quote from Hello Gravel and a local spreading estimate from a contractor in Yuma.

Clear a stable access path and mark the desired drop zone with flags or cones; remove low-hanging branches and obstacles and ensure adequate overhead clearance for a dump truck. Protect paved areas if possible, confirm there is enough room for a truck to turn around or stage, and check local rules if you plan to have the truck stop on the street. Note any special instructions in Order Notes and contact our team if access is tight.

Yes. Hello Gravel ships decorative materials like mulch and rock through our local supplier network, subject to a minimum order (3 tons) and available delivery windows. Lead times typically start at 2+ business days for standard delivery, and coverage depends on depth: roughly 1 cubic yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3 in depth, so use the material calculator to refine estimates.

For low-traffic decorative uses, placing material directly on dirt can be acceptable, but for driveways or heavy use we recommend a compacted base and, in many cases, geotextile fabric to improve stability and limit mixing with subgrade. Yuma’s regional soils and seasonal weather can affect long-term performance, so a prepared base will extend the life of the surface and reduce maintenance.

Generally, use a graded, angular base material for structural support and a finer, well-graded surface material for the top layer; for drainage areas choose coarser, free-draining aggregates. Because materials are regionally sourced, textures and sizes vary, so select materials based on both load requirements and appearance, and consult the material calculator or our team for recommendations for your project.

Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery can be requested for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can select your preferred delivery date at checkout, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—this is not guaranteed. Regional sourcing means material appearance can vary, and any special delivery notes should be added in your order.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations; changes are easiest before the order is processed or the truck is dispatched. If there is a problem with delivery or materials, reach out to customer service with photos and details so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it.
