One cubic yard of crushed stone in this area generally weighs about 1.25 to 1.5 tons and costs roughly $50 to $100 delivered. Final price depends on stone size, type (crushed vs rounded), and local supplier availability. Use our material calculator or get a quote for a precise number.

Coverage depends on depth: at 2 inches, one ton of crushed stone covers roughly 110 to 130 square feet; at 3 inches it covers about 70 to 90 square feet. Variations come from stone size, compaction, and moisture. Always calculate with the depth you plan to compact to get an accurate quantity.

Our suppliers typically deliver with tri-axle trucks that carry about 8 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 11 to 19 tons for crushed stone). A 10 cubic yard load, for example, will cover about 1,620 square feet at 2 inches or about 1,080 square feet at 3 inches. Exact capacity and coverage vary by truck type and stone density; your Hello Gravel order will list the expected load size.

Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway; it may be okay for a walking path or temporary surface. For a residential driveway in West Paducah's freeze-thaw climate and typical vehicle weights, we recommend 3 to 6 inches of compacted stone, with a stable base layer underneath. If soil is soft or drainage is poor, add depth or use larger base material.

Costs vary with width and depth, but for a 100 ft by 10 ft driveway at 3 inches deep you would need about 12 to 14 tons of stone. At $40 to $70 per ton, materials and delivery would run roughly $480 to $980; expect higher if you choose premium stone or need additional base material.

For a 100 ft driveway, estimate by area and depth. Example: a 100 ft x 10 ft driveway at 3 inches needs about 9.3 cubic yards, which is roughly 12 to 13.5 tons; at 4 inches that goes up to about 15 to 18 tons. Use our calculator or provide your length, width, and desired depth for an exact tonnage.

Natural rounded gravel is often slightly cheaper per ton because it requires less processing, but regional availability matters. Crushed stone usually costs a bit more but compacts better and locks together for driveways and bases, making it a better value for structural surfaces. Check local pricing on Hello Gravel to compare options near you.

Many full-size pickup beds can carry around one ton by weight, but load capacity varies widely by model and payload rating. Also, Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and delivers by dump truck, so hauling from a supplier yourself is uncommon. If you plan to move stone in a truck, check your vehicle's payload, secure the load, and follow local weight limits.

Buying in bulk (meeting the 3-ton minimum), choosing standard delivery windows, and ordering locally sourced stone will lower per-ton cost. Avoid specialty colors or screened products if budget is the priority, and compare supplier quotes on Hello Gravel to find the best local rate. Consolidating deliveries with neighbors is another way to save on delivery fees.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request it during checkout. Because spreading depends on truck access, safety, and driver capability, Hello Gravel cannot guarantee spreading services. Note in Order Notes if you want spreading and the driver will assess it on arrival.

Yes. Regional sourcing means stone in West Paducah often reflects local Kentucky geology, so expect variations in color and texture compared with photos. For example, local limestone and weathered rock can produce light gray to tan crushed stone. If color is important, note preferences in your order and ask our team for local supplier options.

Coarse, angular stone like 1/2u0022 to 1u0022 crushed stone or #57 crushed stone is ideal for drainage trenches and French drains because it resists compaction and allows water to flow. Larger rock (3/4u0022-1 1/2u0022) works well for driveway base and erosion control. Match the stone size to the project and local soil conditions; our team can recommend specific sizes for West Paducah drainage needs.
