A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose gravel, though actual loads vary by supplier. One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2-inch depth (or 108 sq ft at 3 inches), so a 12-yard load could cover roughly 1,944 sq ft at 2 inches or 1,296 sq ft at 3 inches. For exact coverage for your project in Scranton, calculate area, choose your target depth, and ask us to confirm truck size and yield.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway. For vehicular traffic, a gravel surface usually needs 3 to 4 inches of compacted finish on top of a well-prepared base, and many driveways benefit from a crushed stone base of 6 to 12 inches depending on soil and traffic. In West North Carolina's hilly or seasonally wet spots, thicker bases and pRoper drainage are especially important.

One cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on stone type and moisture; a good rule of thumb is about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Cost per cubic yard in the Scranton area commonly ranges from about $40 to $100 depending on material and delivery; per-ton pricing is often $30 to $70.

For driveways in the Scranton area, crushed stone like 3/4u0022 crushed stone, u0022crusher-runu0022, or #57 stone are common choices because they compact well and provide load-bearing strength. A layered approach—compactable base material (crusher-run) topped with a 3/4u0022 or 1/2u0022 angular finish stone—gives good durability and drainage. Local suppliers may offer regionally sourced stone that works better with West North Carolina soils, so ask about local options when ordering.

In gardening, the u002270/30u0022 guideline often refers to mixes for succulents and rock gardens where about 70% mineral material ( grit, sand, or small gravel ) and 30% organic soil improves drainage. For Scranton gardeners using gravel layers, a simIlar ratio can help with fast-draining pots and rock beds, but it is not recommended for vegetable beds where higher organic content is needed. Always match the mix to the plants you are growing and use landscape fabric or edging to keep gravel from mixing into soil layers unintentionally.

Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, that amount will cover roughly 340 to 370 sq ft at a 2-inch depth, depending on stone density. Use this quick guide: a small walkway (3 ft x 20 ft) at 2u0022 needs about 0.35 to 0.5 tons, a one-car driveway (12 ft x 20 ft) at 3u0022 needs roughly 2.5 to 4 tons, and a patio (12 ft x 12 ft) at 2u0022 needs about 1.3 to 1.6 tons.
