A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which equals roughly 14 to 20 tons depending on the gravel density. At $30 to $45 per ton, a full load will generally cost in the low hundreds to around $1,000; ask Hello Gravel for an exact quote based on the material and truck used for your delivery.

A quick rule: calculate area (sq ft) times desired depth (inches) divided by 324 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.3–1.5 to convert to tons. For example, a 1000 sq ft driveway at 3 inches needs about 9.3 cubic yards, which is roughly 12–14 tons; Hello Gravel’s material calculator can run this for your exact dimensions.

One ton of typical gravel will cover roughly 100–120 sq ft at 2 inches deep, or about 60–70 sq ft at 3 inches deep. Coverage varies with stone size and compaction, so treat these as estimates and confirm with a calculator when ordering.

In many cases crushed stone (like crusher-run or base stone) is cheaper than decorative pea gravel or washed stone because it is more common and easier to source. Costs depend on type, finish, and delivery; crushed base is a good budget pick for driveways and underlayment, while decorative gravel usually costs more.

Cost depends on width and depth; a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (1,000 sq ft) at 3 inches depth typically needs about 12–14 tons of material. At $30–$45 per ton for material and delivery, expect roughly $360–$630 for materials, with additional costs for spreading, compaction, or base work if needed.

For light foot traffic or a walking path, 2 inches can work, but for a driveway in Hinesville’s humid, sometimes wet soils you should plan on at least 3–4 inches of compacted gravel over a prepared base. Thicker base and proper subgrade preparation reduce rutting and maintenance needs during rainy seasons.

Common, locally-sourced materials like bank run, crusher-run, or stone screenings are usually the most affordable options since they contain fines and compact well. Buying in bulk and choosing a generic base material instead of decorative washed stone will lower your per-ton cost.

You can, but for best results you should prepare the area: remove organic topsoil, level and compact the subgrade, and consider a layer of geotextile fabric to reduce mixing and weed growth. In coastal Georgia’s sandy or clay-prone soils, proper prep prevents sinking and reduces maintenance.

Gravel won’t become concrete on its own, but materials like crusher-run or compacted limestone screenings create a firm, interlocking base when compacted. For a stabilized surface that behaves more like pavement, contractors use polymer stabilizers, resin-bound systems, or a compacted base topped with 3/4u0022 crushed stone.

A 20x20 area is 400 sq ft; at 3 inches depth you need about 4–5 cubic yards, or roughly 5–7 tons of gravel. Expect material plus delivery to run somewhere around $150–$400 in Hinesville depending on the type of gravel and local delivery fees.

For budget-conscious homeowners, a compacted crusher-run or bank-run base topped with 2–3 inches of 3/4u0022 crushed stone is usually the cheapest long-term option because it compacts well and drains. Proper base preparation and compaction matter more than the top layer, especially given Hinesville’s climate, so invest in prep to lower future maintenance costs.

A 7x14 dump trailer’s capacity varies by side height but typically holds about 3 to 6 cubic yards of material, which equals roughly 4 to 8 tons of gravel depending on stone density. If you need a precise number for ordering, tell Hello Gravel the trailer dimensions or request a truck load quote.

A 20x20 concrete slab (400 sq ft) generally costs between $1,600 and $4,000 depending on thickness, reinforcement, local labor, and finish; this is significantly more than the materials-only cost for gravel. Gravel is cheaper upfront, but concrete offers a longer-lasting, low-maintenance surface, so weigh budget versus durability for your project.
