Use 1 cubic yard to cover 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth. So a typical 1-car driveway (10x20 ft = 200 sq ft) needs about 2.5 cubic yards, a 2-car driveway (20x20 ft = 400 sq ft) about 5 cubic yards, and a 50x12 ft area (600 sq ft) about 7.4 cubic yards at 4 inches. For tons, expect roughly 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard for fill-dirt, so multiply cubic yards by that range for a ton estimate.

Two inches of fill-dirt is not sufficient for a driveway base in the Erwin area. A proper base normally needs 4 to 8 inches of compacted granular base material (like crushed stone) over well-prepared subgrade; fill-dirt is best used for grading or raising low areas and should be placed and compacted in 6- to 8-inch lifts if it's structural. For driveways, plan on a granular base under the surface material and consult a contractor for drainage and compaction needs.

Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Hello Gravel’s platform can display volume pricing or offer multiple-load discounts when available, but discounts vary by supplier and season, so request a quote for your total quantity to see any bulk pricing.

Permit requirements vary by municipality and county; in Erwin (population 9,670) you may need a permit for work that impacts the public right-of-way, curb cuts, or long-term street blockages. Always check with your city hall or county road department before delivery or heavy equipment work and notify your supplier if the delivery will block a road or require special handling.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety, truck access, and local supplier policies. Grading and compaction are typically additional services that contractors or suppliers charge extra for; request these services at checkout and expect the driver to assess feasibility on arrival.

Cheap sources change with local supply, seasonal demand, and hauling costs. Hello Gravel compares multiple local suppliers for your ZIP code to surface competitive pricing; while vendors sometimes match competitor quotes, price-matching is at the supplier’s discretion, so request a quote through Hello Gravel and note any competitor pricing when you contact customer service.
