It depends on depth. For 1,000 sq ft a 2u0022 layer needs about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8.6 tons), 3u0022 needs about 9.3 cubic yards (about 13.0 tons), and 4u0022 needs about 12.3 cubic yards (about 17.3 tons). Regional density and compaction vary, so round up slightly and order at least our 3-ton minimum.

Coverage depends on depth. Using a common conversion, one ton covers roughly 115 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, about 77 sq ft at 3u0022, and about 58 sq ft at 4u0022. Actual coverage in Troy can vary by gravel type and compaction, so use these as estimates and check with our material calculator.

Cost depends on driveway length, depth, and material selection. For example, a 20 ft by 20 ft (400 sq ft) driveway at 3u0022 needs about 5.2 tons; multiply the tons by the per-ton delivered price shown in your Hello Gravel quote (remember our 3-ton minimum). For longer drives, scale the tonnage and get a custom quote for delivered price and scheduling.

Two inches can work as a decorative top layer but is generally too thin for a functional driveway surface. For stable vehicle traffic in Troy's climate and soil conditions, we recommend at least 3u0022 of compacted gravel over a properly prepared base, with 4u0022 or more for heavy trucks. Consider a compacted base layer of larger stone beneath the finish gravel for best results.

It depends on width and desired depth. For a 100 ft long driveway at 10 ft wide (1,000 sq ft) you need about 13 tons at 3u0022 depth; at 12 ft wide that's about 15.6 tons, and at 16 ft wide about 20.8 tons. Use the Hello Gravel material calculator or contact our team for an exact estimate tailored to your Troy property.

Buying bulk delivered gravel is usually cheaper per ton than bagged material from retail stores. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier quotes and order direct with delivery to avoid extra handling. Also consider common local materials (often regionally sourced around Troy) and ordering the right amount to avoid repeat delivery fees.

A gravel surface can last many years but needs periodic maintenance. Expect to regrade and add fresh gravel every 3-10 years depending on traffic, drainage, and local weather; heavy use or poor drainage may require more frequent topping. Regular grading and good drainage in Troy's rainy seasons will extend the life of the surface.

Five tons of typical crushed gravel is roughly 3.6 cubic yards and is about half of what a tri-axle dump truck carries. Spread at 3u0022 depth, 5 tons will cover roughly 380-400 sq ft; as a pile it will be a handful of feet high and wide on a driveway. For delivery, note our minimum order is 3 tons and drivers typically use tri-axle dump trucks.

It depends on the trailer side height and legal weight limits, but a 7x14 bed typically carries about 3 to 6 cubic yards of material. With heavy materials like gravel you may hit the trailer or vehicle weight limit before the bed is full, so check GVWR and local load rules. Hello Gravel coordinates deliveries with licensed haulers using dump trucks rather than small trailers for safety and compliance.

A common tri-axle dump truck used for residential deliveries typically carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel, depending on material density and local weight limits. Actual capacity can vary by truck and local regulations. If you need more than a single truckload, Hello Gravel can schedule multiple deliveries or larger-capacity options when available.
