Most local providers use tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 12 to 14 cubic yards, which is roughly 15 to 20 tons depending on the gravel type. Using the per-ton range in West Tennessee, a truckload will commonly run from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars delivered; exact cost depends on material, distance, and any additional services. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and can give a precise truckload price for your delivery date.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 square feet at 1 inch deep. Common examples: at 2 inches it covers about 162 sq ft, at 3 inches about 108 sq ft, at 4 inches about 81 sq ft, and at 6 inches about 54 sq ft. Use these numbers to estimate how many cubic yards you need for walkways, beds, or driveways.

Buying bulk delivered gravel is almost always cheaper than bagged material.

No, 2 inches is too thin for a driveway that will receive vehicle traffic. For passenger cars on a well-prepared base, a compacted finished depth of 4 inches is the minimum recommended, with 6 inches preferred for heavier loads or poor subgrade. Proper subgrade preparation and compaction matter as much as depth, especially in West Tennessee soils that can retain moisture.

Cost depends on driveway width, depth, and material. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 4 inches depth is about 200 sq ft and needs roughly 2.5 cubic yards (about 3.5 tons); at regional pricing ($30 to $70/ton) material plus delivery would typically range from about $105 to $245, but Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum so your order would likely start at that minimum.

One ton of gravel is roughly 0.7 cubic yards, so expected coverage is about 113 sq ft at 2 inches, 75 sq ft at 3 inches, and 56 sq ft at 4 inches. Exact coverage varies by the gravel's density and whether it is compacted or loose. Use these numbers for planning, and request a materials calculator on Hello Gravel for a tailored estimate.

A tri-axle truck of about 12 to 14 cubic yards will cover approximately 972 to 1,134 square feet at a 4-inch depth. At 3 inches that same load covers roughly 1,296 to 1,512 square feet, and at 6 inches about 486 to 567 square feet. Site shape, compaction, and waste/spillage can affect coverage, so allow a small overage when ordering.

Capacity depends on the trailer side height. A 7x14 bed has 98 square feet of floor area, so with 1 foot of side height that's about 3.6 cubic yards, with 1.5 feet about 5.4 cubic yards, and with 2 feet about 7.3 cubic yards. Remember the trailer's axle capacity and legal weight limits often reduce the usable load, so check the trailer rating before filling it.

Locally, pit run, crusher run (mixed stone and fines), and recycled crushed concrete are typically among the lower-cost options due to simpler processing. Pea gravel and decorative landscaping gravels generally cost more because of washing, sorting, or hauling distance. Regional availability in Louisville influences price, so Hello Gravel can show which affordable options are available near you.

A 10x10 area is 100 square feet. For a 2-inch depth you need about 0.62 cubic yards (roughly 1 ton); for a 1-inch depth about 0.31 cubic yards. Keep in mind Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum order, so small quantities may be more cost-effective if combined with another project or purchased in bags from a local retailer.

Cheaper alternatives include crushed recycled concrete, crusher run, or local pit run material, which can perform well for driveways and base layers. For purely decorative uses, landscape mulch is often less expensive but serves a different function and requires more frequent replacement. Evaluate the intended use—structural base vs appearance—when choosing a lower-cost option.

Gravel itself does not harden like concrete, but stabilized options such as resin-bound gravel, polymer-stabilized aggregates, or a compacted crushed-stone base with fines can form a firm, hard surface. Cement-treated base or asphalt are different products that provide concrete-like rigidity. If you need a hard, durable surface in Louisville, discuss stabilized or cement-treated options with Hello Gravel or a local contractor for the right solution.
