Most contracted tri-axle dump trucks that deliver in Person County carry roughly 10 to 14 tons of loose gravel, which is about 10 to 12 cubic yards depending on the material. Actual load can vary with local truck size, road limits, and the specific gravity of the gravel.

For a standard 12-foot by 50-foot driveway, use the formula: cubic yards = area (sq ft) x depth (inches) / 324. For example, a 12 x 50 driveway at 3 inches depth needs about 55 cubic yards (around 75 tons), but exact needs depend on compaction and whether you add a base layer, so measure your driveway and consult our calculator or sales team.

Covering 1 acre (43,560 sq ft) requires about 134 cubic yards per inch of depth.
