Choose materials based on use, drainage needs, and load bearing rather than a single ‘‘best’’ product.

Spring through fall are the easiest seasons for delivery and spreading because the ground is usually workable and access is better. Winter deliveries can be possible but may be delayed by frozen ground, snow, or limited spreading options. Schedule early and allow extra lead time during wet or winter months.

Calculate volume with this formula: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27 = cubic yards, then use the material calculator to convert cubic yards to tons since densities vary. For example, a 12 ft x 40 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is about 6 cubic yards. If you prefer, use Hello Gravel’s online calculator or call our team and we will help estimate based on your project and the gravel, sand, dirt, stone options available.

Generally, lower-cost materials may need more frequent replenishing and maintenance, while more stable materials or thicker base installations last longer but cost more upfront. Consider the expected traffic, drainage needs, and maintenance willingness when choosing among gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes. Your choice should balance budget, desired lifespan, and how much upkeep you want to perform.

Prepare the site by clearing vegetation, establishing proper slope away from buildings, and addressing low spots or poor drainage before ordering material. For many projects, a compacted subgrade, geotextile fabric, and defined edge restraints improve performance and reduce mixing with underlying soil. Good drainage planning is especially important in local freeze-thaw conditions to avoid settling and frost heave.

Deliveries are commonly made with tri-axle dump trucks, though smaller or larger trucks may be used depending on site access. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; remote or constrained sites might require a different truck type or minimum, and that can affect pricing.
