One ton of typical crushed gravel is about 0.74 cubic yards and will cover roughly 240 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, 120 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, and about 80 sq ft at 3u0022 depth. Coverage can vary by stone size and how much the material settles or compacts after installation.

A standard tri-axle dump truck commonly used in our area carries about 10–12 cubic yards (roughly 13–16 tons of gravel), so cost is the per-ton price times that tonnage. At local per-ton rates, a full tri-axle load often falls in the range of about $400 to $1,000, but final pricing depends on material type, availability, and delivery specifics.

For a typical 2-car driveway (about 12 ft by 40 ft = 480 sq ft), you would need roughly 6 tons of gravel at a 3u0022 finished depth or about 4 tons at 2u0022 depth. If you plan a compacted base or live on softer, sandy ground common in the Egypt Lake-Leto area, add 10–25% extra to account for settling and compaction.

In Egypt Lake-Leto's sandy soils and humid, rainy climate, angular crushed stone or crushed rock dust provides good compaction and drainage for driveways, while pea gravel or rounded river rock works well for decorative areas and walkways. Crushed shell is also popular locally for a bright look but can wash or compact differently in heavy rains, so choose based on the project and drainage needs.

Yes — gravel is a good, free-draining surface that helps shed water compared with compacted clay or bare soil. For effective drainage in Egypt Lake-Leto's heavy rain events, combine a base layer of larger stone, a layer of geo-textile where needed, and proper grading to direct water away from structures.
