One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet; coverage depends on depth. For quick estimates: 1u0022 depth covers about 324 sq ft, 2u0022 covers about 162 sq ft, and 3u0022 covers about 108 sq ft—adjust for your desired depth and compaction.

Use the same math as other gravels: 1 cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, 162 sq ft at 2u0022, and 108 sq ft at 3u0022. In Meyerland, consider slightly deeper sections or edging to keep river rock from washing into gutters during heavy rains.

Local tri-axle dump trucks used in the Meyerland area commonly haul about 10 to 14 tons of loose gravel, depending on material density and truck configuration. Heavier decorative stones or wet materials will reduce the tonnage a truck can legally and safely carry.

A full-size pickup bed can sometimes hold about 1 cubic yard by volume, but 1 cubic yard of gravel often weighs 1.3 to 1.6 tons (2,600 to 3,200 lbs), which may exceed many trucks' payload ratings. For safety and legal reasons, we recommend a dump-truck delivery through Hello Gravel for most gravel orders.

Yes—plain crushed gravel or crusher-run is usually cheaper than smooth river rock because it is less processed and more widely available locally. River rock is selected, rounded, and often transported longer distances, which increases cost; check Hello Gravel for side-by-side pricing in Meyerland.

Three cubic yards equals 81 cubic feet; at common depths that covers about 972 sq ft at 1u0022, 486 sq ft at 2u0022, and 324 sq ft at 3u0022. For Meyerland projects, consider edging and slope so the gravel stays in place during heavy rain events.

Cost depends on driveway width and depth; for example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) at a 3u0022 depth needs about 1.85 cubic yards of gravel.

A 10x10 area is 100 sq ft. For typical landscape depths: 2u0022 requires about 0.62 cubic yards, 3u0022 about 0.93 cubic yards, and 4u0022 about 1.24 cubic yards; that’s roughly 0.9 to 1.8 tons depending on the material density. Note: Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so small projects may require ordering the minimum or combining materials with a neighbor.

Calculate area first: a single-car driveway 20 ft long by 10 ft wide is 200 sq ft. At 3u0022 depth you need about 1.85 cubic yards; a double-car driveway 20 ft by 20 ft (400 sq ft) at 3u0022 needs about 3.7 cubic yards. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator for exact amounts and keep in mind local drainage and slope when choosing depth.

River rock looks attractive but can shift, roll, and migrate during heavy Houston rains, making edging and proper base prep important in Meyerland. It also tends to retain heat, can be harder to walk on, and may allow weeds to grow through unless you use good weed barrier fabric.

A 50-lb bag is roughly 0.5 cubic feet of material. At a 2u0022 depth that covers about 3 sq ft; at 1u0022 depth it covers about 6 sq ft, so bags are best for small accents or touch-ups rather than large-area coverage.
