It depends on your project size and the material type: small jobs often cost less per ton when buying only what you need, while larger projects usually benefit from ordering a bulk load because hauling and handling are more efficient. Consider delivery fees, access limitations, and whether you need professional spreading when comparing options. If you are unsure, use our material calculator or contact our team to compare per-ton and per-load costs.

A 10-yard load equals 270 cubic feet, which covers about 1,620 sq ft at 2 inches, 1,080 sq ft at 3 inches, and 810 sq ft at 4 inches. Actual coverage varies with material compaction and grading, so expect slight differences based on the mix you choose. For precise planning, measure your space and use our calculator or ask our team for help.

For a 20×20 driveway (400 sq ft), a common finished depth of 3 inches is about 3.7 cubic yards, which typically weighs roughly 5 to 6 tons depending on the material density. Cost depends on the material, delivery distance, and any hauling fees; request a quote with your zip code for an exact price. We can also help with quantity checks to avoid over- or under-ordering.

Two inches is usually too shallow for a durable vehicle driveway in West Missouri; most driveways perform better with 3 to 4 inches of compacted material over a prepared base. Two inches can work for decorative pathways or light-use areas, but for cars and trucks you should plan for more depth and base preparation. Local climate and soil conditions in New Melle can affect long-term performance, so consider extra depth or a compacted base for longevity.

You can place material over compacted soil for short-term or decorative projects, but for driveways and high-traffic areas you should prepare the base with excavation, drainage, and possibly a geotextile fabric. Proper prep reduces rutting, improves drainage, and extends the life of the surface. Hello Gravel can quote material delivery, but any excavation or heavy site prep is typically handled by your contractor—contact our team if you want a materials-only quote for a prepared site.

Economical choices are usually base mixes or screened aggregates that compact well and provide good load-bearing capacity, while specialty landscaping stones and decorative mixes tend to cost more. Regional sourcing in West Missouri affects availability and price, so local base blends often offer the best value. Use our aggregate quiz or talk to our sales team to match a cost-effective material to your project needs.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; deliveries arrive by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Make sure the delivery area has safe access, a clear dumping spot, and room for the truck to turn; notify us of narrow drives, low-hanging wires, or septic fields. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout but it is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed.

Measure the area in square feet and decide on the finished depth in inches, then multiply area × depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, and multiply by an estimated density (about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on material) to get tons. For example, area (sq ft) × depth (inches ÷ 12) ÷ 27 × density = tons. If this feels complex, use our online material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions and intended use for a quick estimate.

For very small jobs, a DIY pickup can be cheapest if you have a suitable vehicle and time, but renting equipment and hauling can become costly for larger loads. Bulk delivery is usually the most efficient option for medium to large DIY projects because it reduces handling and time, while hiring a contractor includes labor and site prep but adds labor cost. Consider project size, your comfort with site prep and spreading, and whether you need excavation or compaction when choosing the best route.
