Prices vary by supplier and haul distance, but typical delivered ranges in the West South Carolina area are about $30-$50 per ton for natural gravel and $35-$65 per ton for crusher run. Using roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard, those translate to about $40-$65 per cubic yard for natural gravel and $45-$85 per cubic yard for crusher run; request a local quote for exact pricing.

Use 324 sq ft per cubic yard at 1u0022 depth. For 1,000 sq ft you need about 6.2 yd3 (8.0 tons) at 2u0022, 9.3 yd3 (12.0 tons) at 3u0022, and 12.4 yd3 (16.1 tons) at 4u0022. These are estimates using about 1.3 tons per cubic yard; round up slightly to allow for compaction and grading.

If your driveway is 20 ft long and 10 ft wide (200 sq ft), you would need roughly 1.2 yd3 (1.6 tons) at 2u0022, 1.9 yd3 (2.4 tons) at 3u0022, and 2.5 yd3 (3.2 tons) at 4u0022. Keep in mind Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order in many areas, so small jobs often require ordering the minimum or combining smaller areas.

Generally no: 2 inches is fine for a top dressing or stabilized path but is usually too thin for a lasting driveway surface. For driveways in the South Union area we recommend a proper subgrade and a 3u0022 to 4u0022 compacted layer of crushed stone or a 4u0022+ base system (base course plus surface) for better drainage and durability.

Natural gravel is often cheaper where it is locally abundant, while crushed stone commonly costs a bit more because it is processed. Crushed stone packs and drains better for driveways and resists rutting, while natural gravel can be softer and require more maintenance; choose based on budget, appearance preference, and intended traffic.

Local truck sizes range from small 3-5 ton loads up to tri-axle deliveries around 10-12 tons and larger tractor-trailer loads exceeding 15 tons. Cost equals the per-ton material price times tons plus any delivery fee; for example, at $45/ton a 10-ton tri-axle load would be about $450 for material before delivery charges.

The least expensive options are usually bank run, road base, or screenings used as fill or base material, since they require less processing. You can source these from local quarries, landscape supply yards, or through Hello Gravel, which compares nearby suppliers to find the best local price and delivery option.

Some local suppliers and contractors provide spreading and compaction as an add-on, but tailgate spreading by the driver is always at their discretion and not guaranteed. For full installation and compacting, many homeowners hire local contractors who can provide bundled material+labor quotes; Hello Gravel can help connect you with suppliers and refer installers in the Spartanburg/Union area.
