Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in South Vassalboro, ME

Truck capacities vary by truck and material, but Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks that carry roughly 10 to 14 tons per load and larger end-dump trucks that can carry more. The exact tonnage depends on material density (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) and local weight limits. Our minimum order is 3 tons and your checkout quote will show the truck type and estimated tonnage.

Prices vary by material type, quantity, delivery distance, and season, so there is no single statewide price. Hello Gravel provides transparent, itemized quotes during checkout that include material cost, delivery, and any fees; use our estimate tool or request a quote for a precise price. For budgeting, compare quotes for the same depth and coverage rather than just price per ton.

Calculate area (length x width) and decide the depth you need in inches, then convert to cubic yards: (area x depth in feet) / 27. Multiply cubic yards by the material's typical weight (about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the material) to get tons. Use our online material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a quick estimate.

Coverage depends on depth and material density, but as a rule of thumb 20 tons will cover roughly 2,400 to 2,500 sq ft at a 2-inch depth, about 1,600 to 1,700 sq ft at 3 inches, and roughly 1,200 to 1,300 sq ft at 4 inches. These figures assume an average weight of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard; heavier or wetter materials will reduce coverage. For exact planning enter your depth and area into our calculator or ask our team for help.

Budget depends on the driveway length, material choice, depth, and whether you need site prep like grading or compaction. Instead of a single dollar figure, calculate the quantity needed using area and depth, then get a Hello Gravel quote that includes delivery and options like tailgate spreading. Remember to allow extra for compaction and base layers if you are installing a structural driveway.

Ten tons is roughly half of a 20-ton load, so expect about half the coverage (for example, around 1,200 to 1,250 sq ft at a 2-inch depth using average density). Cost still varies by material type, distance, and delivery options; use our quote tool to see exact pricing for a 10-ton order. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons, and per-ton pricing can change with volume.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout and add notes about access or spreading requests; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion. We work with local haulers and will confirm timing and truck type after you place your order.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; changes are easiest to accommodate before the order is dispatched. We will do our best to help, but ability to modify depends on supplier and trucking schedules and cannot be guaranteed. See your order confirmation for contact details and timing guidelines.

Materials reflect regional sourcing and local geology, so color, texture, and sizing can vary naturally between deliveries. Photos are representative but not exact; you can add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes, and we encourage customers to request a sample or ask questions before ordering. If a delivery doesn’t meet expectations, contact customer service and we will work to resolve the issue.
