Most local tri-axle dump trucks carry about 10 to 12 tons, so multiply the per-ton price by that tonnage to estimate a delivered load. At $30 to $70 per ton, a single truckload would commonly range from about $300 to $840, though access, distance, and supplier minimums can change the final number.

Hello Gravel typically schedules tri-axle dump trucks for deliveries in Richardsville, and those trucks usually carry about 10 to 12 tons per load. Larger or specialty trucks may carry more, but tri-axles are common for residential deliveries.

Assuming a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (1,000 sq ft) at a 3u0022 compacted depth, you need roughly 9.3 cubic yards or about 13 tons of gravel. At $30 to $70 per ton delivered, material and delivery would commonly total about $390 to $910; labor and equipment for grading and compaction are extra and can range from several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on site conditions and contractor rates.

Two inches is usually too shallow for a long-lasting driveway, especially on West Kentucky soils that can hold moisture. For most residential driveways we recommend a 3 to 4u0022 compacted surface over a 4 to 6u0022 crushed stone base (more if you have heavy vehicles or poor subgrade) to avoid rutting and drainage problems.

For most homeowners in Richardsville, bulk delivery is the most cost-effective if you need 3 tons or more because unit pricing is lower and delivery is often included; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Picking up small amounts can work for tiny projects but is limited by vehicle capacity, while contractor installation adds labor costs but can save time and ensure proper compaction for driveways.

Coverage depends on material density, but a good rule of thumb is 1 ton will cover about 80 to 100 sq ft at 2u0022 depth and about 40 to 50 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. For a precise quantity use a volume calculation (area x depth = cubic feet, divide by 27 for cubic yards, then multiply by local tons-per-cubic-yard) or use our online material calculator.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, which covers most small residential projects. Delivery fees vary by supplier, distance, and site access; many areas have free delivery, but steep driveways, long drives, or restricted access may incur additional charges—check your quote or give us your zip code to confirm.

Contractors should provide driveway dimensions (length, width, and desired depth), desired material type or grade, delivery address and access notes (driveway slope, gates, overhead wires), preferred delivery window, and any compaction or spreading requirements. Including photos of the site and the project timeline speeds up accurate quoting.

A common, durable choice for Richardsville driveways is crushed stone (often called #57 or 3/4u0022 crushed) for the top layer and a coarser crushed stone base with fines for the underlayer to aid compaction and drainage. Typical delivered prices for these common crushed stones in West Kentucky are in the $30 to $70 per ton range, but availability and exact cost can vary by supplier and season.
