One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover roughly 162 sq ft at a 2-inch depth or about 108 sq ft at a 3-inch depth. Coverage changes with depth, compaction, and stone size, so measure the area and desired depth before ordering.

Two cubic yards will cover about 324 sq ft at 2 inches deep or about 216 sq ft at 3 inches deep. For driveways or areas that require compaction, you may want more depth and should increase quantities accordingly.

A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, roughly a cube 3 ft on a side; when heaped it commonly looks like a small mound about 4 feet high and 6 feet across depending on stone size. For visual planning, two to three cubic yards make a noticeable pile in a typical driveway space.

A full tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards depending on material density; truckload pricing in the Grosse Pointe Park area commonly ranges from several hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on type (base, crushed, decorative) and delivery distance. Hello Gravel displays delivered pricing up front for your address so you can compare truckload versus smaller orders.

Road base (crushed aggregate used under driveways) generally costs a bit more than loose fill; expect roughly $30 to $60 per cubic yard delivered in the Grosse Pointe Park area depending on supplier and how much screening or crushing is included. Prices vary with seasonal demand and the final grade needed for compaction.

One cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on rock type and moisture; a common rule of thumb is about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons (around 2.1 cubic yards), so plan orders accordingly or request a larger truck if you need more material.

Choose angular, crushed stone for driveways where compaction and stability matter, and consider pea gravel or washed decorative stone for walkways and garden beds for a softer look. Also account for Michigan winters: choose stone that drains well and check any local HOA or city rules about driveway surfaces before ordering.

Hello Gravel schedules standard delivery in 2+ business days with optional next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply); deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Note the 3-ton minimum, drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed, and add delivery instructions or access notes at checkout to help ensure a smooth drop.
