It depends on your truck's payload rating. Many half-ton pickups are not rated to carry a full ton safely; some full-size pickups can carry around 1 to 1.5 tons but you should check the manufacturer payload sticker in the door jamb. If you are unsure, order the minimum 3 tons through Hello Gravel or have a supplier deliver to avoid overloading your vehicle.

Buying bulk (tonnage) from a local supplier is usually the cheapest option compared with bags. Choose a common locally sourced material like crushed limestone, order larger quantities to qualify for tiered pricing, and compare quotes on Hello Gravel to find the best delivered price. Picking up material yourself from a nearby yard can save on delivery fees if you have an appropriate truck and trailer.

Yes for light-use areas like garden paths or decorative beds you can lay gravel on top of graded soil after removing vegetation and compacting the surface. For driveways or high-traffic areas you should remove topsoil and install a compacted base (road base or crushed stone) before placing gravel to prevent rutting. Consider using landscape fabric to reduce weed growth, but avoid relying on fabric alone for structural support.

Sharp sand is not typically used as a base under loose gravel; compacted crushed stone or road base provides better drainage and stability, especially in Guadalupe Westside's clay-prone soils. Sharp sand can be used under pavers as a bedding layer, but for gravel driveways you want a compacted aggregate base and then 3 to 4 inches of finish gravel. Talk to our team if you have special drainage or grading concerns.

Hello Gravel standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Add delivery notes at checkout for access details and request tailgate spreading if desired, noting that drivers perform spreading at their discretion.

Yes, many local suppliers and quarry operations around Guadalupe Westside offer tiered or truckload pricing that lowers the per-ton cost for larger orders. Hello Gravel negotiates local rates with suppliers and can show volume discounts during checkout or on a custom quote. If you need a large quantity, ask for a bulk or contractor rate when you request a quote.

As a quick guideline, 1 cubic yard of gravel covers roughly 80 to 100 square feet at 2 inches depth and typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons depending on the material. For a driveway you will usually want 4 to 6 inches of compacted base plus a 2 to 3 inch finish layer, which raises the total tonnage required.
