Gravel in Terre Haute, IN

Ten cubic yards of gravel is about 13 tons (one cubic yard is roughly 1.3 tons). Prices vary by material and season, but Midwestern crushed gravel often runs roughly $15 to $40 per ton, so material for a 10-yd load could be around $195 to $520 before delivery and taxes. For an exact price in Terre Haute, check your zip code on Hello Gravel to get local supplier quotes and delivery fees.

Costs depend on the type (pea gravel, crushed stone, bank run) and supplier, but expect roughly $15 to $40 per ton in the Terre Haute area. Specialty or colored decorative gravels can be higher. The best way to know is to request a quote on Hello Gravel for your zip code and material type.

Coverage depends on depth and material density, but a practical rule is one ton covers about 100 to 120 square feet at 2 inches of depth. At 3 inches deep, one ton covers roughly 65 to 80 square feet. These are estimates—compaction and stone size affect actual coverage.

By volume one ton of typical gravel is about 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards, which can fit in many full-size pickup beds. However, weight can exceed your truck's payload rating—check your truck's GVWR/payload before hauling. Note Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons for delivery if you prefer pro delivery.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used by suppliers in our network carries roughly 10 to 14 tons of gravel (about 7 to 10 cubic yards), depending on material density. That amount will cover about 1,000 to 1,600 square feet at 2 inches depth, or proportionally less at greater depths. Exact truck capacity can vary by hauler, so Hello Gravel will confirm truck size when scheduling delivery.

No, 2 inches is too thin for a driveway in Terre Haute's freeze-thaw climate and typical vehicle loads. For a residential driveway we recommend 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone or crusher-run over a stable subgrade, with a wearing layer of 1 to 2 inches of driving surface stone if desired. Two inches is fine for walkways or a decorative surface over an existing solid base.

At 2 inches depth you need about 6.2 cubic yards, which is roughly 8.0 tons; at 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards (about 12.0 tons); at 4 inches you need about 12.3 cubic yards (about 16.0 tons). Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so plan accordingly and request a local quote to include delivery. These estimates assume typical crushed stone density of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard.

For a 10 ft by 10 ft (100 sq ft) area, 1 inch of pea gravel requires about 0.3 cubic yards (roughly 0.4 tons). For 2 inches you need about 0.6 cubic yards (~0.8 tons), and for 3 inches about 0.9 cubic yards (~1.2 tons). Choose depth based on use—1 to 2 inches is common for decorative surfaces, more for paths or play areas.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically carries about 3 to 5 cubic yards of material, depending on side height and whether the load is heaped. In weight that is roughly 4 to 7 tons for common crushed gravel. Exact capacity depends on the trailer and material density, so check the trailer's rated cargo volume and payload.

A properly built and maintained gravel driveway or surface can last decades, but heavier traffic and Indiana freeze-thaw cycles mean you will likely need periodic maintenance or topping every 2 to 5 years. Good drainage, a compacted base, and occasional grading and fresh stone will extend the surface life. Heavily used driveways may require more frequent repairs or eventual reconstruction with a thicker base.

A 'truck load' varies by truck; a tri-axle load of crushed gravel (about 10 to 14 tons) will cost based on per-ton pricing and delivery. Using a regional range of $15 to $40 per ton, the material on a truck could be roughly $150 to $560, plus delivery. For a firm price for your address in Terre Haute, request a quote on Hello Gravel.

Buying in bulk, ordering by the ton, and sourcing locally are the most cost-effective strategies in Terre Haute. Off-season ordering, consolidating deliveries, and using standard materials (bank run or crushed stone) lowers cost. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers to compare rates and often offers free delivery in many areas, which can save money over small, self-hauls.

Cost depends on width, length, depth, and material. For example, a 20 ft wide by 40 ft long driveway (800 sq ft) at 4 inches depth needs about 9.9 cubic yards (roughly 12.8 tons); at $15 to $40 per ton that material cost would be about $190 to $510, plus delivery and any base work or compaction charges.
