Use the rule of thumb: 1 ton of common gravel is about 0.7–0.8 cubic yards and covers roughly 116 sq ft at 2u0022 depth or 77 sq ft at 3u0022 depth. For example, a 200 sq ft patio needs about 2 tons at 2u0022 or about 2.6 tons at 3u0022 (round up and note Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum). Use our material calculator for an exact number based on your dimensions.

Two inches is typically only a surface layer and may be okay over a well-compacted, stable base for light, occasional vehicle use. For regular cars and the clay-influenced soils common in central North Carolina, most homeowners use 3–6 inches of compacted aggregate and a proper base to avoid rutting. Consider traffic, drainage, and whether a professional compaction step is needed before deciding depth.

As a quick guide, 1 ton of typical crushed gravel covers about 232 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, about 116 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, and about 77 sq ft at 3u0022 depth. Actual coverage depends on stone size and compaction, so treat these as estimates and round up to allow for compaction and waste. Use our online calculator for a tailored estimate to your project.

For driveways in West North Carolina, crushed stone with some fines (commonly called 57 or 411/compost mix) provides a strong, lockable surface; 3/4u0022 crushed stone is a common top layer. Pea gravel or washed gravel is fine for light-use decorative areas but does not compact as well for driveways. Hello Gravel works with local suppliers that typically deliver these common mixes to Badin; regional color and texture will reflect local geology.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout, but there are no guarantees. Full spreading, grading, or installation is usually a separate paid service offered by local contractors or some suppliers; costs vary by scope, site access, and labor rates. We recommend requesting spreading at checkout and getting contractor quotes if you need guaranteed finish work.

Permit and HOA rules vary. Small repairs or replacing like-for-like driveway material often do not require a town permit, but changing driveway location, altering drainage, or curb cuts can trigger county or town permits and HOA approval. Contact the Town of Badin, Stanly County building department, or your HOA before ordering to confirm local requirements.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days, so same-week delivery is often possible depending on supplier schedules and inventory.
