If your driveway is 20 feet long and 10 feet wide, a common top layer depth of 3 inches requires about 2.5 tons of gravel; 4 inches increases that to about 4.5 tons. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so you would likely order 3 tons for a thin 3-inch layer; contact us for a delivery quote so we can give an exact price for your material choice and address in Burke County.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10–12 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 14–18 tons of gravel depending on rock density. Delivered cost for a full truckload varies with supplier and haul distance; ask for a local quote because rural deliveries in Burke County can affect pricing and some suppliers base price on miles from the pit.

Cheaper driveway options often include bank run gravel, crushed screenings, or recycled crushed concrete, but availability and exact cost depend on local suppliers and geology in Burke County. Yes, these materials can usually be delivered to residential properties; add delivery instructions at checkout and note that drivers will assess access and may offer limited tailgate spreading at their discretion.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so 1–2 ton deliveries are generally not available through our standard service. If you need under 3 tons, consider picking up material at a local supplier yard, hiring a local hauler, or ordering 3 tons and keeping extra on hand; contact our team for recommendations for pickup yards near Burke County.

Coverage depends on spread depth: at 2 inches, one ton of gravel covers roughly 120 square feet; at 3 inches it covers about 80 square feet; at 4 inches about 60 square feet. One cubic yard is about 1.35 tons for typical crushed gravel, so 1 cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches depth.

A 7x14 dump trailer usually holds roughly 5–7 cubic yards depending on side height and whether the load is heaped. To convert to tons for gravel, multiply cubic yards by about 1.35 (so 6 cubic yards is roughly 8–9 tons); confirm with your supplier because density varies by rock type and moisture.

If you have a capable trailer and pickup, self-pickup at a supplier yard is often the least expensive option for small to medium loads because you avoid delivery fees. For 3+ ton jobs, bulk delivery through an online platform like Hello Gravel is usually cost-effective; hiring a local hauler can be convenient for tight access or fast turnaround but may cost more, so compare quotes for your specific address in Burke County.

Volume discounts depend on the local supplier and the size of the order — many suppliers offer lower per-ton pricing for large orders but it varies by material and availability in Burke County. Contact our sales team with a project quantity so we can request a formal volume quote from nearby suppliers.

Gravel is generally much cheaper upfront than concrete in Burke County, often a fraction of concrete’s installed cost, but it requires routine maintenance like regrading and topping up. Concrete has a higher initial cost and longer life with less frequent upkeep; weigh long-term maintenance, drainage, and expected use when choosing, and get local bids for both options to compare total cost.
