For small projects, a 10 ft by 10 ft patio at 2 inches deep needs roughly 0.6 cubic yards (about 1 ton) of gravel, while a 20 ft by 20 ft area at 2 inches needs about 2.3 cubic yards (roughly 3 tons). In East Forest, expect to pay about $20-$45 per ton, so a 10x10 patio might cost $20-$45 for material but remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum for delivery. Use our material calculator or contact us to get a tailored estimate for your backyard.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries roughly 10 to 14 tons of gravel (about 10-12 cubic yards), so you can expect to pay for 10+ tons at local per-ton rates. In East Forest that usually translates to a delivered price range of roughly $200 to $700 depending on the gravel type, delivery distance, and any fees. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing in checkout and will confirm delivery details before dispatch.

One ton of gravel typically covers about 80 to 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth, and about 60 to 70 square feet at a 3-inch depth. Coverage varies by gravel size and rock density, so use our calculator or contact us with your dimensions for a precise estimate. For driveways or high-traffic areas you may want a deeper layer (3 to 4 inches) for better performance in East Forest's rainy climate.

Most full-size pickup trucks can carry about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards in the bed, so one cubic yard of gravel will usually fit physically. However, one cubic yard of gravel can weigh 1.3 to 1.7 tons depending on type, which may exceed a truck's payload capacity, so always check your vehicle's rated payload before hauling. If you prefer delivery, Hello Gravel works with local dump trucks and has a 3-ton minimum for orders.

Buying in bulk through Hello Gravel and getting delivered by dump truck is usually the most cost-effective option for most homeowners and contractors, because per-ton pricing is lower than bagged material and delivery is often free in many areas. Choose common base or recycled stone rather than specialty decorative gravel for lower cost, and schedule delivery in off-peak times if available. If you plan to haul yourself, confirm vehicle capacity and local source availability before choosing that route.

Costs depend on length and depth; as an example, a 20 ft wide by 50 ft long driveway at 3 inches depth needs about 9 to 10 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 14 tons) of gravel. At East Forest per-ton rates of $20 to $45, material plus delivery typically runs in the $350 to $700 range for that size, though heavier-duty sections or greater depth will increase material needs and cost. For an exact price, use our calculator or get a quote with your driveway length and desired depth.

Clear the delivery area of vehicles, low branches, and obstructions, and provide clear delivery instructions and a preferred drop location in your order notes. Tell the driver about any tight access, gates, or steep driveways; tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed. If you have drainage concerns in East Forest's climate, consider grading or edging plans before delivery to reduce washout.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and particle shape can vary based on local geology, so your delivered gravel may not match online photos exactly. If you have concerns, contact our customer service promptly with photos and order details and we will work to resolve the issue per our service policies. For color-sensitive projects, note preferences in Order Notes and ask for local supplier specifics before purchase.
