A standard tri-axle dump truck in the area usually carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel, so multiply the per-ton price by that tonnage and add delivery. For example, at $40 per ton a 12-ton load would be roughly $480 plus any delivery or disposal fees. Contact Hello Gravel for exact local truck capacities and an all-in price for delivery to your address.

One ton of gravel is roughly 0.7 to 0.9 cubic yards depending on the material's density, so it may physically fit in the bed of many full-size pickups. Whether you should load it depends on your truck's payload rating; many light-duty 'half-ton' pickups have payloads under 2,000 lbs and could be overloaded. Check your vehicle's payload capacity before hauling, or order delivery to avoid risk.

Cost depends on driveway width and depth; for a typical 200 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 3 inches depth you would need about 22 cubic yards, roughly 30 to 35 tons. At $30 to $50 per ton for commonly used driveway gravels, material cost would be about $900 to $1,750, plus delivery and any site preparation or compaction.

Twenty tons of gravel is roughly 13 to 15 cubic yards, depending on stone type. Spread 2 inches thick, that amount will cover about 2,100 to 2,400 square feet; at 3 inches thick it covers around 1,400 to 1,600 square feet. Exact coverage varies with the gravel size, compaction, and slope, so measure your area and use Hello Gravel's calculator for a precise estimate.

Buying bulk by the ton delivered by dump truck is usually the most cost-effective option compared with bagged gravel at retail stores. Choose locally sourced road base or crushed limestone for lower per-ton cost, and compare quotes from a few suppliers for the best rate. Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and show transparent pricing so you can compare options quickly.

A 10 cubic yard load is typically 14 to 18 tons depending on gravel density, so cost varies by material. Using a mid-range price of $35 to $45 per ton, a 10-yard load would generally run about $490 to $810 for material, plus delivery. Ask Hello Gravel for a specific quote that includes delivery and any site restrictions.

Measure length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet, then multiply length x width x depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, and divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by the typical tons-per-cubic-yard for your chosen gravel (about 1.3 to 1.7 tons/yd3) to get tons, and remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum.
