Calculate cubic yards with this formula: (length ft x width ft x depth in inches) / 324. For example, a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 3 inches needs about 1.9 cubic yards (roughly 2–3 tons), and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum so plan for at least that amount.

For driveways use angular crushed stone such as 3/4-inch crushed stone or #57 for a wearing surface, with a coarser road-base layer underneath for strength. Pick materials with good drainage and angular particles to resist shifting in Bay St. Louis’s coastal, wet soils, and consider a geotextile fabric where soils are sandy or soft.

Regular driveway gravel is generally not appropriate for erosion control; shoreline protection usually requires larger riprap or engineered armor stone and sometimes specialized coastal mixes. For beach nourishment use washed sand or shell blends, and consult a coastal engineer and local permitting before placing material on the shore.

Possibly — shoreline and wetland work often requires permits from state or federal agencies and local authorities, such as the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or Hancock County/City of Bay St. Louis. Check with local permitting offices before scheduling delivery and contact our team if you need help locating the right agency.

Yes — some neighborhoods and county roads around Bay St. Louis have narrow streets, low-clearance areas, or seasonal weight restrictions that can limit truck access. Include delivery notes and photos when ordering so our dispatch team can assess access, suggest alternate drop points, or advise on curbside or off-street delivery options.

Many contracted haulers focus on delivery only, but some local suppliers and independent contractors offer grading, spreading, and compaction as an add-on service. Request installation at checkout and we will try to connect you with local contractors, but remember that tailgate spreading by the driver is provided at their discretion and is not guaranteed.
