Most local tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on the material). The cost for a truckload equals the per-ton price times the tonnage plus any delivery fee; for example, at $45/ton a 12-ton load would be about $540 before fees. Contact us for exact truckload pricing in Montclaire South since local supplier rates and truck availability affect final cost.

For a 200-foot driveway, here are quick estimates using typical densities and rounding for ordering: 8 ft wide: 2u0022 depth ≈ 14 tons; 3u0022 ≈ 21 tons; 4u0022 ≈ 28 tons. 10 ft wide: 2u0022 ≈ 17 tons; 3u0022 ≈ 26 tons; 4u0022 ≈ 35 tons. 12 ft wide: 2u0022 ≈ 21 tons; 3u0022 ≈ 31 tons; 4u0022 ≈ 41 tons. We recommend ordering 5-10% extra for compaction and to account for slope or waste.

Using a common estimate of 1.4 tons per cubic yard: one cubic yard covers about 162 ft2 at 2u0022 depth, 108 ft2 at 3u0022, and 81 ft2 at 4u0022. One ton (about 0.71 yd3) covers roughly 116 ft2 at 2u0022, 77 ft2 at 3u0022, and 58 ft2 at 4u0022. These are estimates—actual coverage depends on material size and compaction, so always allow a little extra.

Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; note Montclaire South is in Eastern Time so plan accordingly.

Buying bulk delivered through Hello Gravel is usually the most cost-effective and convenient for driveways and larger projects since you avoid multiple pickup trips and get local supplier pricing. Picking up from a yard can save money on small quantities but adds truck rental and time. Contractors may get trade pricing on large, repeat orders, so compare a delivered bulk quote with contractor-supplied pricing if you have a contractor handling the job.

Common, cost-effective choices in Montclaire South are crushed stone (¾u0022 crushed stone) or #57 stone for a stable, well-draining surface, and crushed limestone or local river rock for a finished look. Pea gravel is attractive but tends to shift and may cost more per ton due to sorting and color. Recycled crushed concrete often runs cheapest but can vary in appearance; final costs depend on local supply and regional geology.

Clear the delivery area of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles and confirm the preferred drop spot when placing your order so the driver can assess access. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout but understand it is not guaranteed for safety reasons. If you need precise spreading or compaction, plan to arrange spreading equipment or contractor services after delivery.

Materials reflect local geology, so color, texture, and stone mix can vary across North Carolina and even between nearby suppliers. Photos are representative; we recommend adding color preferences in Order Notes and contacting customer service if appearance is critical. If the delivered material differs significantly from your expectations, contact us promptly so we can work with the supplier to find a satisfactory solution.
