A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 12 to 16 tons of gravel, so multiply the per-ton price by that amount and add any applicable delivery fee.

Use the formula cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. As a quick guide, a 1-car driveway (10 ft x 20 ft = 200 sq ft) at 3 inches deep needs about 1.9 cubic yards (~2.5 tons). A 2-car driveway (20 ft x 20 ft = 400 sq ft) at 3 inches needs about 3.7 cubic yards (~4.8 tons); round up to meet our 3-ton minimum and allow for compaction and grading.

For driveways in Mount Vernon, crushed stone or crushed gravel (3/4u0022) is commonly recommended as a base because it compacts well and sheds water; pea gravel is softer and better for decorative top layers but can migrate. Price-wise, crushed stone is usually the more economical option per ton, while pea gravel and washed decorative gravels are typically pricier. Consider a compacted crushed base with a thin decorative top of pea gravel if you want appearance plus stability.

One cubic yard covers about 108 sq ft at 3 inches deep or about 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Because gravel density varies, 1 cubic yard equals roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons; a common rule is 1 cu yd ≈ 1.3 tons. That means 1 ton will cover approximately 80 to 90 sq ft at 3 inches depending on the material, so use the cubic-yard formula for the most accurate estimate.

Standard delivery is 2 or more business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

Drivers may be able to provide tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout but it is not guaranteed. Compaction and full installation are not standard services we provide; for mechanical compaction or contract installation, we recommend hiring a local landscaper or contractor. If a supplier in your area offers spreading or installation, fees will vary—contact us to confirm availability and rates.

Most residential gravel driveways in Mount Vernon do not require a city permit, but local rules can change and some neighborhoods or county regulations may apply. Recommended depth depends on use: 3 to 4 inches for a decorative top layer, 4 to 6 inches or more with a compacted base for regular vehicle traffic. Check with Mount Vernon city hall or the county building department if you are unsure about permits or HOA restrictions before ordering.

Because we source materials regionally, the gravel you receive in Mount Vernon will reflect West Georgia geology and may differ in color and texture from photos. You may add color or style notes at checkout and we will pass them to the supplier, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed. If appearance is critical, ask for photos of the available material or request a sample before finalizing your order.
