Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks for deliveries; these usually carry about 10 to 12 tons of gravel per load. Larger end-dump trucks can hold more, but availability depends on local haulers and site access in Shannon. If you need a specific truck size, note it in Order Notes or call our team to confirm.

As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of gravel covers about 100 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 50 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 25 sq ft at 4 inches. Soil type and compaction can change coverage, so these are estimates for typical crushed stone or pea gravel. Use our material calculator for a project-specific estimate for your lot in Shannon.

Generally no; 2 inches is thin for a driveway and will wear quickly under vehicle traffic. For a lasting residential driveway in Shannon, plan for a compacted base of crushed stone with 3 to 4 inches of finish gravel on top, and more if the base is soft or drainage is poor. If your driveway is low-use and on a solid base, 2 inches might work temporarily but is not recommended for long-term use.

In West Georgia, a typical dump truck load (tri-axle, about 10-12 tons) commonly costs between $350 and $950 delivered, depending on material and distance from local suppliers.

Buying in bulk by the truckload is almost always cheaper than bags; choose a basic material like bank run or recycled crushed stone if appearance is not a priority. Picking up material yourself can save on delivery but requires a suitable truck and time. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier prices and delivery options so you can choose the most cost-effective solution for your project.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request it at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. The driver will assess site access, slope, obstacles, and safety on arrival and decide whether spreading is possible. If spreading is critical for your project, note it in Order Notes and be prepared to arrange separate labor if needed.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can select your preferred delivery date during checkout, and Hello Gravel will confirm a delivery window once the hauler is scheduled. Keep in mind small-town logistics and weather can affect timing, so contact our team if you need a firm timeframe.
