Pick gravel based on the project: larger crushed stone (3/4u0022 to 1u0022) is best for driveways and base layers, pea gravel or 1/4u0022 decorative stone works for pathways and mulch alternatives, and angular stone compacts better for driveways. Consider drainage needs, local climate (Bayshore can be wet, so choose well-draining mixes), and the look you want; add color preferences in Order Notes at checkout. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel’s material quiz or contact our sales team for guidance.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards, roughly 14 to 20 tons of gravel, though local truck sizes vary. Material plus delivery for a truckload in the Bayshore area can range widely depending on gravel type and distance; expect several hundred to a few thousand dollars. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum, lists delivery options at checkout, and can provide a truckload quote once you enter your address.

Coverage depends on depth. In Bayshore, using a common conversion (1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons): one ton of gravel covers about 116 sq ft at 2 inches deep, about 77 sq ft at 3 inches, and about 58 sq ft at 4 inches. Always round up for waste and compaction and check your final depth before ordering.

Cost depends on length, depth, and material. For example, a 20-ft wide by 50-ft long driveway (1,000 sq ft) at a 3u0022 depth needs roughly 9.3 cubic yards or about 13 tons; at $30 to $50 per ton, material would be roughly $390 to $650, plus delivery and any spreading/compaction labor which can add $200 to $800.

The rule of 3 is a design guideline: group elements in odd numbers (three is common) to create a natural, balanced look. For gravel projects, apply it by combining three textures or sizes (for example, a coarse base, medium bedding, and fine top), or arranging plant groupings and focal stones in threes to break up large gravel areas. This keeps a gravel landscape from looking monotonous while staying low-maintenance for Bayshore yards.

A 50-lb bag of gravel contains about 0.018 cubic yards. That covers roughly 2.9 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, about 1.9 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and about 1.5 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. Bags are best for small touch-ups or path borders; for driveways or larger areas, bulk delivery is more economical.
