A 20 x 20 area (400 sq ft) needs about 5–7 tons of gravel for a 3–4 inch surface, though contractors often add a base layer which increases material needs. Materials and delivery are typically $200–$900, and professional labor for grading, base prep, and spreading commonly adds $600–$1,800, so total project cost usually falls between about $900 and $2,700. Final price depends on site access, existing soil conditions, and whether compaction or edging is required—request onsite quotes for accuracy.

For light-use walkways or decorative areas, 2 inches can be adequate, but for driveways in Pittsboro we recommend 3–4 inches of surface gravel over a properly prepared base. The extra depth improves load distribution, reduces rutting in wet weather, and lasts longer under vehicle traffic. If heavy vehicles or poor drainage are a concern, talk to our team about adding a base layer or using coarser base material.

Ordering by the ton is the most common and practical choice on Hello Gravel and works well for most homeowner projects; cubic yards are useful if you prefer volumetric measurements and for landscaping pros. Dump truck delivery (tri-axle) is the most efficient and often cheapest option for larger jobs because it moves more material in one trip. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons; for small ornamental jobs a local landscape supplier or pick-up may be economical.

One cubic yard of gravel is about 1.3 tons and will cover roughly 162 sq ft at a 2-inch depth, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Because weight per cubic yard varies by material, one ton typically covers around 100–130 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. Use these figures to estimate needs, then order a bit extra (5–10%) for compaction and waste.

Many Pittsboro-area suppliers and landscape yards offer delivery and sometimes spreading; services and prices vary by business and season. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers and can provide competitive, transparent quotes and convenient scheduling, but we can't promise to beat every local price. The best approach is to request a side-by-side quote through Hello Gravel—we list material, delivery, and available spreading options so you can compare.

Twenty cubic yards is a large order (about 27 tons). Delivery fees to Pittsboro may be waived for large orders or run from $0 to a few hundred dollars depending on supplier and distance; driver tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed. If you hire a contractor to spread and grade 20 cu yd, expect spreading and labor to add roughly $300–$1,000 depending on site complexity—request a contractor estimate for an accurate number.

Typical lead time for Hello Gravel deliveries in Pittsboro is 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

You'll see estimated arrival windows and any delivery fee in checkout when you enter your address.

Yes. Pittsboro and Chatham County may have zoning rules, stormwater or driveway permit requirements, and some neighborhoods have HOA covenants that dictate surface materials, edging, or drainage. Seasonal factors in central NC—heavy rain in spring and fall—can affect installation timing and require extra grading or stabilization work, which increases cost. Check with the Town of Pittsboro planning office and your HOA before ordering material or scheduling installation.
