At $35 to $70 per ton that works out to roughly $490 to $980 delivered, though site access, delivery distance, and material type can change the final price.

Large orders like 500 tons usually qualify for bulk pricing and will be delivered on multiple trucks over several days.

For a cost-conscious driveway that resists movement, choose angular crushed stone with some fines (often sold as crusher run or 3/4u0022 crushed stone) because the edges lock together better than round pea gravel. Add edging and compact the base to keep material in place, and expect regional variations in color and texture. If you want a cleaner surface, use crusher run for a base and top with a 3/4u0022 crushed stone finish.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. At 2u0022 depth you need about 3.5 tons; at a more typical 3u0022 depth you need about 5.2 tons, and at 4u0022 about 6.9 tons. Using the $35 to $70 per ton range, delivered cost will be roughly $120 to $245 for a 2u0022 depth, $180 to $365 for 3u0022, and $240 to $485 for 4u0022; exact quotes depend on material choice and delivery details.

Assuming a single lane about 10 feet wide, a 100-foot driveway is 1,000 sq ft. At 2u0022 depth you'll need roughly 8.6 tons; at 3u0022 about 13 tons; at 4u0022 about 17.3 tons. Using $35 to $70 per ton, expect an approximate delivered cost of $300 to $600 for 2u0022, $455 to $910 for 3u0022, and $605 to $1,210 for 4u0022; get a quote for precise pricing and truck staging needs.

For light foot and infrequent car traffic, 2u0022 of surface gravel can be acceptable, but it is generally too thin for a long-term driveway. We recommend a 3u0022 to 4u0022 finished surface over a compacted base (4u0022 to 6u0022 of crushed stone) for regular vehicle use and to resist washouts during heavy rain common in this region. A thicker base and good compaction will greatly reduce maintenance in Harrells' climate.

Yes, many Harrells homeowners install gravel themselves; you only need materials, a wheelbarrow or skid, and a plate compactor rental (typically $80 to $150/day). DIY saves on labor but adds time and physical work; material and rental costs plus delivery are your main expenses. Professional installation adds labor costs (often quoted per square foot) but includes grading, compaction, and cleanup — ask Hello Gravel for delivery-only pricing so you can compare with local installer quotes.

If you have a suitable truck and trailer, picking up at the yard can avoid delivery fees and be cheapest for smaller needs. For most homeowners in Harrells needing multiple tons, bulk delivery is usually the most cost-effective because per-ton rates drop with larger orders; smaller loads have higher per-ton pricing. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so compare pickup vs our delivery quotes to find the best option for your situation.

Gravel is almost always cheaper to install upfront than poured concrete, often a fraction of the cost per square foot, but it requires more routine maintenance like regrading and topping up. Concrete has a higher initial cost but lower regular maintenance; long-term value depends on how long you plan to keep the driveway and how much maintenance you want to perform. Get local installer quotes for both options and factor in expected upkeep for Harrells' weather before deciding.
