A typical tri-axle dump truck for gravel in this region carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 20 tons), so a single-truck delivered load will generally run between $400 and $1,200. Exact cost depends on the material, the truck size, and access or unloading difficulty at your driveway. Use our checkout or call our team for a firm delivered price for your address.

For a 12 ft by 100 ft driveway: 2 inches of gravel needs about 3.0 cubic yards, 3 inches about 4.5 cubic yards, and 4 inches about 6.0 cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by your chosen material price (example: at $60/yd^3, 6 yd^3 ≈ $360 plus delivery). Because regional pricing varies and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, get a project quote or use our calculator for a precise total delivered price.

Drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion; this should be requested at checkout but is not guaranteed. For full spreading and mechanical compaction we can coordinate third-party crews—rates typically range from about $40 to $150 per hour or $8 to $30 per cubic yard depending on crew size and job complexity. Ask our team for a bundled full-service quote including spreading and compaction for Balfour jobs.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which often covers small yard and light driveway projects. Smaller quantities or deliveries to hard-to-reach locations can incur surcharges from local suppliers or carriers; any surcharges will be disclosed in your checkout price. If you need less than our minimum, contact our team and we’ll explore alternatives or partner options in your area.

Common types change price: basic pit-run gravel tends to be least expensive, crushed stone or crusher-run is mid-range and good for driveways, and pea gravel or decorative stone is usually pricier. For most Balfour driveways we recommend crushed stone or crusher-run (¾u0022 minus) for stability and drainage; pea gravel is attractive but can migrate and may need edging. Choose based on look, budget, and how you use the driveway—contact us for samples and local recommendations.
