Coverage depends on material density and depth, but a rough rule is that one ton covers about 80–100 square feet at a 2-inch depth. At 4 inches the same ton covers roughly 40–50 square feet. For precise needs, use our material calculator or provide project dimensions for a tailored estimate.

Dump truck capacity varies by truck type and material, but tri-axle trucks commonly used for deliveries typically carry about 10–12 cubic yards or roughly 12–15 tons depending on material density. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and we’ll match you with a local hauler that can best fit your order size. If you need a full-truck load, let us know and we’ll arrange the right truck.

One acre is 43,560 square feet. As a quick guide, covering an acre to a 1-inch depth requires about 135 cubic yards, 2 inches needs about 270 cubic yards, and 4 inches needs about 540 cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons using the material-specific density or use Hello Gravel's calculator to get a precise tonnage for your chosen material.

For most landscaping uses, a 2–4 inch layer is recommended to suppress weeds and conserve moisture; heavier materials for paths or driveways may need 3–6 inches and compaction. Keep mulch or loose materials a few inches away from tree trunks and building foundations to avoid rot and pests. Replenish organic mulches yearly and inspect performance after heavy rain.

Buying in bulk by the cubic yard (or by the ton) is generally more cost-effective for medium to large projects because bags add handling and packaging costs. Bags are convenient for small jobs, spot fixes, or when storage is limited. Compare total coverage needed to Hello Gravel’s minimum order (3 tons) to decide which option makes sense.

Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days after ordering, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can pick a preferred delivery date during checkout and we’ll confirm scheduling with the local supplier and hauler. Keep in mind local demand and weather can affect timing.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if it can be done safely, but this service is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess conditions on site. For larger or precise spreading jobs, plan for professional spreading or renting equipment.

Start with the project goal: drainage and base work favor coarse aggregates, planting beds prefer screened topsoil or compost blends, and decorative areas use sized stone or mulch for appearance. Consider load-bearing needs, maintenance, and local climate—materials sourced regionally will also vary in color and texture. Use the material calculator, review project examples, or contact our team for a recommendation based on your site and budget.
