One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, so it covers about 162 sq ft at 2u0022, 108 sq ft at 3u0022, and 81 sq ft at 4u0022. Using a typical weight of 1.4 tons per cubic yard, one ton covers about 116 sq ft at 2u0022, 77 sq ft at 3u0022, and 58 sq ft at 4u0022. Actual coverage can change with compaction and stone size, so round up slightly when ordering.

For Tusculum's soils and rainfall, 2 inches is only suitable as a thin top dressing or for low-use areas. We recommend 3 inches for light residential use and 4 inches for regular vehicle traffic or heavier loads, plus proper subgrade preparation and compaction. If you have clay soil or poor drainage, consider a thicker base and geotextile fabric to prevent rutting.

A 20 ft by 50 ft driveway is 1,000 sq ft. At 3u0022 depth you need about 9.3 cubic yards (1,000 ÷ 108), which is roughly 13.0 tons using 1.4 tons per cubic yard.

For most yard and driveway jobs, bulk dump truck delivery is the most cost-effective option once you need more than a few cubic yards due to lower per-ton pricing and fewer delivery trips. Multiple small loads or bagged gravel are convenient for tiny projects but cost significantly more per ton and may increase labor. If you only need under 3 tons, bagged or pickup may make sense, but for typical driveways a single truckload is usually cheapest.

Many local suppliers in West Tennessee do offer volume or contractor pricing for orders above one truckload, but policies vary by supplier and material type. If you plan to order multiple truckloads, request a contractor or volume quote through our sales team to see available discounts. We can help negotiate rates with local haulers when you place a larger order.

Most deliveries include dumping only; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion but that service is not guaranteed. Full spreading and compaction are typically separate services provided by contractors, and prices vary widely by crew, property access, and job size — small jobs might be a few hundred dollars, while larger installs can run higher. Ask for an installation estimate up front and note any spreading requests in your order so we can relay them to the hauler.

Standard delivery lead time is 2 or more business days. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, subject to local supplier and truck availability. When you check out you can pick a delivery date and we will confirm scheduling and any applicable fees.

Yes. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, and most residential deliveries are made by tri-axle dump trucks that need adequate width, turning room, and stable ground to back in. Overhead lines, low tree limbs, narrow lanes, and neighborhood parking rules can restrict where a truck can dump; permits may be needed if staging on a public street. Include site notes and photos at checkout or call our team so we can flag any access issues with the driver ahead of time.

Yes. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, gravel color, texture, and stone shape reflect local geology and can vary by supplier. Expect natural variation in appearance and note any color preferences in Order Notes; if color or texture is critical, request a sample or contact our team for photos from your local supplier. Also consider local climate — wetter months and clay subgrades in West Tennessee may affect performance, so plan drainage and compaction accordingly.
