Assuming a typical driveway width of 10 ft, a 100 ft driveway is 1,000 sq ft. At 3 inches depth a common depth for a driveway you would need roughly 9.3 cubic yards or about 13 tons (using 1.4 tons per cubic yard). Increase depth to 4 inches and expect about 17 tons; at 2 inches expect about 9 tons.

One cubic yard of gravel covers approximately 162 sq ft at 2u0022, 108 sq ft at 3u0022, and 81 sq ft at 4u0022. One ton (about 0.71 cubic yards) covers roughly 116 sq ft at 2u0022, 77 sq ft at 3u0022, and 58 sq ft at 4u0022. These are estimates using a common density of 1.4 tons per cubic yard; actual coverage can vary with material and compaction.

u0022Type 4u0022 is a regional/specification term that can refer to a mix of crushed stone and fines sized for base and surface use; exact composition varies by supplier. It can work well as a compactable base for driveways, but many homeowners prefer a 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crusher run as the final driving surface. Ask your local supplier for the material gradation and recommended use for driveways before ordering.

Yes—polymeric gravels and resin-bound gravel products use a binder that locks the stones together and creates a firmer surface than loose gravel. Availability depends on local suppliers; our network in West Georgia can often source polymeric blends or recommend installers. Note that compacted crusher run or a properly installed base will also create a stable surface, but it will not become as rigid as resin-bound systems.

Common mixes such as crusher run, pit run, or bank run are typically the most affordable options for material and delivery in West Georgia. These mixes include a range of stone sizes plus fines, making them good for base layers and driveways at a lower cost than decorative gravels. Prices vary by supplier and availability, so check your zip code for current local options.

One cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 1.3 to 1.6 tons (about 2,600 to 3,200 lbs) depending on rock type. While a full-size pickup bed can physically hold one cubic yard, the weight often exceeds the truck's safe payload capacity for many half-ton trucks. For safety and convenience, delivery by dump truck is usually recommended unless you know your truck's exact payload rating.

For most driveways in Harlem and surrounding West Georgia, a compacted base of crusher run or aggregate base is recommended rather than plain sand, because it provides better load support and drainage. Using a geotextile fabric under the base can help separate the subgrade from the aggregate on clayey or wet sites. Ask your supplier which base product they recommend for local soil conditions and your planned depth.
