The most affordable options are to choose locally sourced, common materials (like crusher-run) and order a full truckload rather than many small deliveries. You can also save by picking up material yourself from a nearby supplier or comparing standard delivery dates instead of next-day service. Remember that bigger orders lower the per-ton price but factor in spreading and access costs.

Three common types are pea gravel (small, rounded stones good for walkways and decorative beds), crushed stone (angular, often 3/4u0022 used for driveways and drainage), and crusher-run/road base (a mix of stone and fines that compacts well for base layers). Local suppliers in Hancock County may call them by slightly different names and colors will vary with local geology. Choose the type based on whether you need drainage, a decorative finish, or a compactable base.

No natural gravel alone hardens like concrete. Products called u0022crusher-runu0022 or dense-grade aggregates compact tightly and form a hard surface, but they do not chemically set. For concrete-like rigidity you would need a cement-stabilized gravel, concrete, or a binding product applied by a contractor.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 15 tons, depending on material). At 10 cubic yards, one load covers about 1,620 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 1,080 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, 810 sq ft at 4u0022 depth, and 540 sq ft at 6u0022 depth. Exact coverage depends on the stone size and how much it settles, so allow a small overage when ordering.

Cost depends on the driveway width, depth, and material. For a 200 ft by 12 ft driveway at 4u0022 depth you need about 30 cubic yards of gravel; at a local delivered price range of roughly $30 to $70 per cubic yard, material cost would be about $900 to $2,100, plus spreading and labor which can add several hundred dollars.
