Gravel in Affton, MO

In West Missouri, delivered gravel commonly falls in the rough range of $40 to $80 per ton; a cubic yard is about 1.3 to 1.4 tons, so multiply accordingly.

As an example, a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway (200 sq ft) needs about 1.7 tons (1.23 yd3) at 2u0022 depth, about 2.5 tons (1.85 yd3) at 3u0022, and about 3.3 tons (2.47 yd3) at 4u0022. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, you would need to order at least 3 tons for this size if you want a 3u0022 or deeper cover. Use our quote tool for current per-ton pricing to estimate total cost for Affton.

Two inches is generally not sufficient for a durable driveway. For cars and light trucks, plan on 3 to 4 inches of compacted finish gravel on top of a well-prepared base, and 4 to 6 inches of compacted base material for heavier loads or poor subgrade. Proper compaction and drainage are as important as depth for long-term performance.

Common choices in West Missouri are crushed stone or crusher-run (often 3/4u0022 down) for the base and a 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022 crushed stone or pea gravel for the finish layer, depending on look and drainage needs. Hello Gravel supplies and delivers material from local suppliers; installation and grading are not included with standard delivery but may be available from some suppliers or contractors—ask our team for availability and a bundled quote.

Using a typical density of about 1.35 tons per cubic yard, 1 ton of gravel will cover roughly 120 sq ft at 2u0022, 80 sq ft at 3u0022, and 60 sq ft at 4u0022. One cubic yard (about 1.35 tons) covers roughly 162 sq ft at 2u0022, 108 sq ft at 3u0022, and 81 sq ft at 4u0022. These are planning estimates; order a little extra for compaction and waste.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used by our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which is roughly 13 to 16 tons depending on material density. Delivered price for a full truckload varies with material, distance, and supplier; request a truckload quote through our site for an accurate delivered price to Affton and to see any bulk discounts.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order for delivery, which is roughly 2.2 cubic yards depending on material density. Small jobs under that minimum may be handled by pickup from a supplier yard or by local suppliers—contact our team for pickup options and any applicable fees.

Pickup and trailer fills depend on the local supplier and yard policies, not on Hello Gravel directly. Many suppliers price by the cubic yard or by the ton for pickups; contact our sales team and we can connect you with nearby yards and provide pickup rates for Affton.

We offer bulk delivery and can often negotiate volume-based pricing through our supplier network, and we provide drop-off delivery via contracted dump trucks. Install-and-grade bundles are occasionally available through partner contractors or some suppliers, but availability and pricing vary by area—ask our team for a bundled estimate specific to Affton and your project details.

A 5-gallon bucket holds about 0.67 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cu ft) is about 40 buckets and one ton (roughly 20 cu ft) is about 30 buckets. Hello Gravel does not typically sell by the bucket; our minimum delivered order is 3 tons, though pickups or small purchases from local yards may be possible—check with our team for options.

Measure the area in square feet, decide the average depth in inches, then use this formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324. Add about 10% to account for compaction and waste, then convert cubic yards to tons using roughly 1.3 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for ordering.

Deliveries are typically made by local dump trucks (often tri-axle) and drivers will drop material where access allows; tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion if it can be done safely. Be prepared to clear obstacles, provide a clear drop-off zone, and note that trucks may not drive over soft ground, lawns, or obstacles.

Yes. Spring rains and freeze-thaw cycles in the Affton area can make sites muddy and limit where trucks can go, and very wet conditions can affect compaction and surface finish. Choose a dry day for delivery and installation when possible, and expect occasional scheduling delays during wet seasons; our team can help find the next available delivery window.
