Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, which is common for bulk gravel delivered by tri-axle dump truck. Many deliveries are free within a local service radius, but rural deliveries often carry an extra long-haul fee if the supplier must travel far; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Your final cost will show at checkout after we match you with local suppliers and haulers.

For hot, semi-arid conditions with occasional heavy rains, a compactable base like 3/4u0022-minus crushed stone or crushed limestone is a good base for driveways and farm lanes, topped with a finer wearing surface such as 3/8u0022 crushed stone or pea gravel for traction and appearance. Crushed granite also performs well and resists breakdown in heat. Add proper grading, drainage, and a geotextile underlayment where soils are soft to reduce washouts and rutting.

Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and will show delivery options for your zip code; use our site to get quotes and see supplier details. If you prefer to search directly, look for aggregate producers and landscape supply yards within a 30-100 mile radius and ask about pit location, load sizes, and haul fees. Larger projects can require sourcing from regional quarries, so confirm lead time and truck access before ordering.

Requirements vary by city, county, and HOA. You may need a county or municipal driveway permit for a new curb cut, culvert, or to alter a road approach, and many HOAs have rules on surface material, color, and front-yard treatments. Check your local permit office and HOA covenants before ordering so you meet setback, drainage, and appearance rules.

For a basic gravel driveway, expect material costs plus installation; a rough ballpark for a typical 12 ft by 100 ft driveway (about 1,200 sq ft) with a compacted base might be $2,000-$5,000 total. Material usually makes up a portion (for example, 20-30 tons of gravel depending on depth) and site prep like grading, base placement, compaction, and drainage work can add the most cost. Final price depends on site access, soil conditions, required depth, and whether culverts or permits are needed.

A quick rule: 1 cubic yard covers about 81 sq ft at 4-inch depth, and 1 cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 1.3–1.5 tons (commonly 1.4 tons). That means 1 ton will cover about 58 sq ft at 4 inches, or about 116 sq ft at 2 inches. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or provide your length, width, and desired depth to get an exact tonnage estimate.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request spreading at checkout but it is not guaranteed. For controlled, finished spreading and compaction on driveways, many customers hire a local landscaper or contractor—especially for larger jobs—because drivers may not have the time, equipment, or liability coverage to perform finished grading.

Keep drainage clear and direct water away from the surface with side ditches or crowned profile to avoid washouts after heavy rains. Regrade low spots and add fresh gravel to high-wear areas every few years, and consider a fabric underlayment and proper compaction during installation to minimize rutting. For dust control, options include adding a small percentage of fines, applying a dust-control product, or using a coarser wearing surface in high-traffic areas.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, texture and color reflect regional geology and may differ from stock photos. You can add color or size preferences in the Order Notes and request samples or a small test load when available, but exact matches are not guaranteed due to natural variation.
