Most contracted tri-axle dump trucks used for Hello Gravel deliveries in this region hold about 10 to 14 tons of gravel. Smaller single-axle trucks carry roughly 4 to 6 tons. The exact capacity depends on the truck and the material's density, so your invoice will list the delivered tonnage.

Cost depends on width, depth, and gravel type. Use this method: cubic yards = (length(ft) * width(ft) * depth(in)) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to estimate tons. As an example, a 200 ft by 10 ft driveway at 3 in depth is about 18.5 cubic yards or ~26 tons; at $35/ton that material cost would be about $910 plus delivery and any spreading/compaction.

Coverage depends on depth. A good rule: convert tons to cubic yards (tons / 1.4) and then use area = (cubic yards * 27) / depth(ft). At a 3-inch depth, 20 tons is about 14.3 cubic yards and covers roughly 1,548 sq ft. For thicker bases (6 in) that same 20 tons covers about half the area.

Total cost depends on truck size, delivered tons, gravel type, and delivery distance.

Consider geotextile fabric, a compacted base layer, and a slightly crowned surface for driveways and pads. Talk to Hello Gravel or a local contractor for tips tailored to your exact site and soil conditions.

Spring through fall is busiest for landscaping and driveway work in this region, so ordering earlier can secure better delivery windows; heavy rain seasons can delay installations.

Check available delivery dates at checkout and contact our team if you need help scheduling.
