Hello Gravel deliveries are usually made with tri-axle dump trucks, which commonly carry about 10 to 14 tons depending on the material density and local truck weight limits. The exact tonnage varies with the type of gravel (river rock is lighter than dense crushed stone) and local hauling rules. Your order confirmation will list the expected truck size and load details.

No, 2 inches of gravel is not sufficient for a driveway in Lehman. For a stable, driveable surface we recommend a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone, with 1 to 2 inches of a finer top dressing if desired; rural, clay, or poorly draining soils may need a thicker base to handle freeze-thaw and mud. Proper compaction and drainage are especially important in our region to avoid rutting.

Measure the area in feet (length x width) and decide on a target depth in inches, then compute cubic yards: (length x width x depth in inches / 12) / 27. Convert cubic yards to tons using a local factor (rough guideline: 1 cubic yard of crushed stone ≈ 1.3 tons; river gravel ≈ 1.4 tons) and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. You can also use our online material calculator for an instant, location-specific estimate.

River gravel from local sources is a common option, but it has rounded edges so it drains well and is attractive, yet it does not lock together like crushed stone and can shift under vehicle traffic. For shorelines or decorative beds it works well, but for driveways and load-bearing surfaces we usually recommend crushed angular stone for stability. Also note that removing material directly from riverbeds may be regulated; Hello Gravel sources material from permitted suppliers.

In Lehman you can typically find pea gravel, crushed stone (often 3/4u0022 or 1u0022), and rounded river rock, with appearance varying by local geology. Pea gravel is good for pathways and drainage, crushed stone is best for driveways and compacted bases, and river rock is mainly decorative or for loose drainage applications. Choose based on function: load-bearing surfaces need angular crushed stone, while visual or drainage uses can use round rock.

We deliver throughout Lehman where local suppliers and haulers operate, but coverage depends on your zip code—enter it on our site to check availability. Remote or hard-to-access addresses may incur extra fees or require smaller trucks; drivers will also assess road conditions and safety on arrival. If you have concerns about access, contact our team before placing the order so we can advise on logistics.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request the service at checkout. The driver will assess whether spreading can be done safely upon arrival, and Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. For larger or precise spreading jobs consider hiring a local landscaper or arranging equipment beforehand.

Lehman's seasonal weather—freeze-thaw cycles, heavy spring rains, and winter snow—can affect both material performance and delivery windows. Schedule deliveries for dry conditions when possible, allow extra time in winter, and expect that muddy or icy driveways might prevent trucks from reaching the exact drop spot. Ask our team about suitable materials and delivery timing for your season and site conditions.

Contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos, your order number, and a description of the issue so we can investigate. We work with local suppliers to resolve problems and will explain available remedies consistent with our policies; see our refund policy for details. Acting quickly helps us coordinate a satisfactory resolution with the hauler or supplier.
