It depends on the depth you need. For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards, and for 4 inches you need about 12.3 cubic yards; multiply that volume by the local per-yard price to estimate cost. Always order a little extra (5–10%) for compaction and settlement.

Calculate by area: for a 20 ft wide driveway, each 10 ft of length is 200 sq ft. Decide the depth of fill (commonly 4–6 inches for a base) and convert to cubic yards to estimate volume. Local pricing varies, so plug that volume into a Hello Gravel quote to get a Glenville-specific cost estimate; include extra material for compaction and grading.

You can put gravel directly over native soil in some cases, but in Glenville's hillier, often clay-rich soils it is usually better to bring in and compact appropriate fill dirt as a base to create uniform grade and reduce settling.
