A typical tri-axle load (about 6–8 cubic yards) will cover roughly 650–860 sq ft at a 3-inch depth, or about 325–430 sq ft at a 6-inch depth. One cubic yard covers 108 sq ft at 3 inches or 54 sq ft at 6 inches. Tell us your desired depth and area to get an accurate delivery recommendation.

Locally, bank run or crushed base (crusher run) and standard crushed limestone are usually the most economical choices for large projects. Decorative gravels, washed pea stone, and colored rock tend to cost more. Choose cheaper base-grade material for driveways and subbase, and reserve decorative stone for visible areas.

A layered approach works best: a compacted base of crusher run or 3/4u0022 minus crushed stone, topped with a 3/8u0022 to 3/4u0022 surface stone or pea gravel depending on the look and traction you want. In our Texas region some homeowners use caliche or crushed limestone as a durable, affordable base. Ask our team for recommendations based on local suppliers and your driveway slope.

Local single-axle dump trucks commonly carry 5–9 tons, while tri-axles carry about 10–14 tons depending on truck and load type. Road weight limits and the material density affect exact capacity, so contracted haulers will confirm tonnage before delivery. Hello Gravel coordinates trucks suited to your order size.

It depends on the driveway width and desired depth. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 4 inches depth needs about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3–4 tons). Because our minimum order is 3 tons, that typically covers a small 20 ft driveway, but confirm with our calculator or a sales rep.

At 2 inches deep, a 10x10 (100 sq ft) area requires about 0.62 cubic yards. At 3 inches deep it is about 1 cubic yard, and at 4 inches it is roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Pick the depth based on use (paths use less depth than driveways) and round up for compaction and spread.

A typical wheelbarrow holds about 3 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) equals about nine full wheelbarrows. If your wheelbarrow is smaller, expect more trips; if larger, fewer. Consider hiring a delivery if you have many wheelbarrow loads to move.

Volume-wise, most full-size pickup beds can hold about 1.5–2 cubic yards, so 1 cubic yard will usually fit. The bigger concern is weight: one cubic yard of gravel can weigh 1,200–2,500 lbs depending on type, so check your truck's payload capacity before hauling. For safety and convenience, consider delivery from Hello Gravel if you're near capacity.

Prices overlap locally, but crushed rock used as base material (crusher run) is often less expensive than decorative gravel because it is less processed.

Labor rates vary, but many landscapers charge about $1.50–$4.00 per sq ft for spreading and finishing gravel, or $40–$75 per hour for crew labor on small jobs. Total cost depends on site prep, edging, compaction, and haul distance for the material. Hello Gravel can deliver to your contractor or recommend local pros if you need installation help.

Bull rock (3u0022–6u0022 river rock) is bulkier and generally costs more per cubic yard than base gravel; in the Pleasantville Area expect roughly $60–$140 per cubic yard depending on color and availability. Because of larger sizes, yard coverage differs—one yard of bull rock covers less area at the same depth than smaller gravel. Ask for a local quote to get an exact price and delivery estimate.
