One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. At 3 inches deep (a common surface layer), 1 cubic yard covers about 108 square feet; at 2 inches it covers about 162 square feet, and at 4 inches about 81 square feet. Use the formula area (sq ft) = 324 / depth in inches to estimate coverage for your Belton project.

Weight depends on the gravel type and moisture, but a good rule of thumb is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. Many crushed stone products average roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Local geology in West Texas can shift that number, so use 1.4 tons/yd3 as a practical estimate for planning.

Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks for deliveries in Belton, which usually hold about 10 to 14 cubic yards of material. That volume translates roughly to 12 to 20 tons depending on the gravel type. Exact truck size and load depend on supplier and site access, so we confirm truck capacity when you order.

It depends on width and depth. For a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 3 inches depth you would need about 11 cubic yards, or roughly 15 to 16 tons; at 4 inches depth you would need about 15 cubic yards, or about 21 tons. In Belton's climate and soils, many homeowners plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted base for long-term durability.

Two inches is usually too thin for a vehicle driveway and is better suited to footpaths or decorative top dressing. For vehicle traffic we recommend 4 to 6 inches of compacted material with a proper base layer to handle West Texas weather and seasonal soil movement. Request spreading at checkout and have the driver assess feasibility on delivery day.

Some full-size pickup trucks can carry close to 1 cubic yard, but payload limits vary and gravel is heavy—one cubic yard often weighs around 1.2 to 1.6 tons. For safety and convenience, Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and delivers by dump truck so you avoid overloading your truck and save time. If you plan to haul gravel yourself, check your truck's payload rating first.

Cost depends on width, depth, gravel type, and local per-ton pricing. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide area at 3 inches depth needs about 1.9 cubic yards (roughly 2.5 to 3.5 tons), so material costs will follow the local per-ton rate plus delivery; exact totals vary by supplier.

A 7x14 dump trailer with typical 2-foot sides holds roughly 5 to 7 cubic yards depending on side height and how full it is. That equates to roughly 7 to 10 tons for common gravel types. Trailer capacity varies by side height and weight limits, so check the trailer specs before loading or opt for a truck delivery through Hello Gravel.

It depends on the truck. Single-axle trucks often carry 6 to 8 tons, tri-axles used by Hello Gravel commonly carry about 12 to 16 tons, and larger end-dumps or super-dumps can carry 18 to 25 tons. We assign truck size based on your order and site access and will confirm the load before delivery.

Ten tons of crushed gravel is roughly 7 to 8 cubic yards, which at 3 inches depth covers about 750 to 860 square feet. For a 12 ft wide driveway that means about 60 to 72 feet of length at a 3-inch top layer; at 4 inches the coverage drops proportionally.
