A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel, so total cost is the per-ton price times the tonnage plus any delivery or hauling fee. For example, at $45 per ton a 10-ton load would be around $450 plus delivery; Hello Gravel shows line-item pricing so you can see material and delivery charges. If you only need a small amount, remember our minimum order is 3 tons and we can quote partial truck quantities when available.

Coverage varies by gravel size and desired depth, but as a rule of thumb 1 ton of gravel covers roughly 80 to 160 square feet at a 1-inch depth. For common project depths, 1 ton will cover about 40 to 80 square feet at 2 inches or 20 to 40 square feet at 4 inches. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team to get a precise estimate for your chosen gravel type and depth.

Because Alma sits in south Georgia's coastal plain, local suppliers often offer rounded river-run gravel, pea gravel, and quarried crushed stone in tan, brown, and gray tones. Material mixes and color can vary by supplier and season, so photos are representative rather than exact. You can add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes and our team will pass them to the supplier.

Plan ahead in busy seasons like spring and early summer when landscaping projects increase demand; standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, but weather conditions and supplier schedules can affect timing. If you have a specific project date, choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and contact our team early to confirm availability.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. Whether spreading is possible depends on site access, truck placement, and safety considerations, so there are no guarantees. If spreading is essential, note it in your order and discuss options with our team before delivery.

Measure length x width x desired depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to 1.6 to convert cubic yards to tons depending on the gravel type. Example: a 20 ft x 10 ft driveway at 3 inches deep is 200 sq ft x 0.25 ft = 50 cubic feet = 1.85 cubic yards, which is roughly 2.6 to 3.0 tons, so you would order at least 3 tons. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our team for a quick check and to accommodate the 3-ton minimum order.

Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and drivers will place material where access and safety allow, so clear a straight approach and remove low branches or obstacles ahead of time. If street parking, HOA rules, or local ordinances in Alma affect truck access, please check those before delivery and note any restrictions in your order. We recommend marking the desired drop area and communicating any special instructions in the Order Notes so the driver and supplier can plan accordingly.
