Coverage depends on depth and the gravel type, but as a rule of thumb in Montezuma one ton of typical crushed gravel is about 0.7 cubic yards. That covers roughly 115 sq ft at 2 inches deep or about 77 sq ft at 3 inches deep. Always round up for compaction, waste, and uneven ground when calculating for your project.

Bulk ordering and choosing a locally sourced, non-decorative material usually gives the best price—buying 3+ tons at once lowers per-ton cost. Check Hello Gravel for local supplier pricing, look for crusher-run or bank-run mixes rather than decorative stone, and consider picking a weekday delivery to avoid weekend surcharges. Comparing quotes from nearby suppliers through our platform helps you find the most cost-effective option for your zip code.

Two inches of gravel is usually only sufficient for a walking path or temporary surface; for a driveway you should plan for a pRoper base. For most Montezuma driveways a compacted base of 4-6 inches of crushed stone with a 2-3 inch wearing layer on top gives better long-term performance in rain and freeze-thaw cycles. If you have light use and excellent drainage you might get by with less, but a thicker base is generally recommended.

A 20x20 area is 400 sq ft; at a 2 inch top layer you would need roughly 3.5 to 4 tons, while at a 3 inch depth you would need about 5 to 6 tons. Delivered material costs in Montezuma will vary by gravel type, but expect a range from a few hundred dollars for basic crusher-run up to higher for decorative stone; remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum.

Generally the least expensive options are locally sourced bank-run or crusher-run mixes and screenings, which use mixed-size stone and fines rather than decorative aggregates. These materials work well for bases, driveways, and utility uses and cost less than pea gravel or colored decorative stone.

Hello Gravel arranges delivery by professional dump truck fleets; drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and note access details for narrow roads or low-hanging wires in Montezuma, but always plan for possible self-spreading or hiring local help. Check your delivery window and contact our team if you have special access needs.

Good drainage and edge containment are key: install fabric underlayment, edge with timber or stone, and direct runoff away from the gravel surface to reduce wAshout. For steeper slopes in West North Carolina, consider terraces or a geogrid to stabilize the aggregate and use a coarser base layer below the top gravel. Regular maintenance after heavy rains—raking and adding material where needed—keeps the surface working well.
