Hello Gravel shows local supplier rates and any delivery fees before checkout.

Coverage depends on material density and desired depth. As a rough rule, one ton of many aggregates covers about 80 to 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, but heavier stone or deeper layers will cover less. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate for your project.

Typical tri-axle dump trucks used for delivery carry roughly 10 to 16 tons, depending on the material and local weight limits. Your order confirmation will show the number of truckloads needed, and we can split large orders across trucks as required. Minimum orders start at 3 tons on our platform.

A pickup load varies widely by truck size and material but often ranges from about 0.5 to 1.5 tons. Because of this variability, we recommend ordering by tons for accuracy and consistent pricing. If you prefer pickup-sized amounts, contact us and we can recommend an appropriate tonnage to match your vehicle.

You can order common bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and crushed stone, plus mulch and other aggregates through our marketplace. Each material is described by size and typical uses so you can match it to landscaping, driveway, or construction needs. Regional variations mean appearance and texture may differ from photos.

The cheapest option depends on local availability and the performance you need; locally sourced base materials or recycled aggregates are often the most affordable. Cheap material can save money up front but may require more maintenance, so weigh cost against longevity and traffic loads. Our team can help you choose a balance of price and performance for Guston conditions.

For a driveway surface, 2 inches is generally too thin to provide long-lasting support, especially for vehicle traffic. Expect to use 4 to 6 inches for a surface layer and additional thickness for a compacted base depending on soil and load. We can recommend depths based on soil conditions and intended use.

Measure the length and width of the area to get square feet, choose the desired depth in inches, convert to cubic yards (area x depth/324), then multiply by the material's weight per cubic yard to get tons. Our online material calculator does these conversions for you and gives a recommended tonnage based on typical densities. Contact our team for help if you are unsure.

Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose a delivery date at checkout and we will confirm scheduling with the local hauler. Optional tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed.

Contact our customer service team as soon as possible; changes are easiest to accommodate before an order is dispatched. We will do our best to help but some changes may not be possible once the supplier or truck is scheduled. Refer to your order confirmation for contact details and timelines.

Collecting material from creeks or other natural waterways can be illegal and harmful to the environment, and it is generally not recommended. Use licensed suppliers to ensure materials are legally and sustainably sourced, with consistent quality for your project. If you have questions about permitted sources, our team can advise on local regulations.

Ordering in bulk by the ton and choosing local materials reduces cost by cutting transport and handling fees. Compare material options and delivery windows on our site and consider scheduling during standard delivery windows to avoid rush fees. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and shows all fees up front so you can choose the most cost-effective option.

Some stabilized aggregates or products combined with binders can harden and provide a firmer surface than loose stone, but results vary by product and installation method. If you need a concrete-like surface, discuss stabilized mixes or paving alternatives with our team or a local contractor to match durability and appearance needs. We can help source materials commonly used for stabilization in the Guston area.
