Order in bulk (three tons or more) and choose standard delivery dates to avoid rush fees. Selecting locally sourced materials and flexible delivery windows through Hello Gravel usually lowers cost versus specialty rocks or next-day service.

Local suppliers around Lehi commonly offer crushed limestone, quartzite, and river rock that reflect Utah Valley geology. Use crushed stone for driveways and base layers, pea gravel for patios and pathways, and larger river rock for drainage and decorative beds.

Pea gravel typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, depending on moisture and particle size. When ordering, ask your supplier for the specific tons-per-yard figure they use for accurate calculations.

A tri-axle (common local dump truck) often carries roughly 10 to 12 tons; at $30 to $80 per ton delivered, expect a range of about $300 to $960 for a full truckload. Exact cost depends on material type, truck capacity, delivery distance, and whether you need next-day service—get a tailored quote from Hello Gravel.

For most Lehi driveways, 2 inches is not enough; we usually recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel for passenger-car driveways and 4 to 6 inches for heavier loads. Proper base preparation and drainage matter in Utah's seasonal freeze-thaw conditions, so thicker, compacted layers perform better long term.

You can place gravel over dirt, but it usually needs a prepared base: grade the area, add a layer of compacted base material, and consider geotextile fabric to limit mixing and weed growth. In Lehi's climate, slope and drainage are important—poorly prepared sites can rut or wash out during heavy spring runoff.

As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of gravel covers about 60 to 100 square feet at a 1-inch depth, or roughly 30 to 50 square feet at 2 inches, depending on the stone density. Use these ranges for planning, or plug your dimensions into Hello Gravel's material calculator for a precise estimate.

Recycled crushed concrete and decomposed granite are often cheaper alternatives to premium decorative gravel and are commonly available from local suppliers. Costs, appearance, and drainage properties vary, so weigh savings against the look and performance you need for your Lehi project.

For a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at a 3-inch compacted depth, you would need roughly 9.3 cubic yards, which is about 12 tons (using an average 1.3 tons per cubic yard). Adjust up or down for different widths or depths, and use Hello Gravel's calculator or ask our team for a site-specific estimate.

Homeowners in Lehi can install pea gravel themselves for small areas by preparing a level base, installing edge restraints, laying landscape fabric, and spreading and tamping the gravel. For driveways, steep slopes, or large jobs, a contractor can ensure proper compaction and drainage to avoid future maintenance.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically carries about 5 to 7 cubic yards of loose gravel, depending on side height and load limits, which translates to roughly 6.5 to 9.5 tons for most stone types. Always check your trailer's gross vehicle weight rating and local hauling limits before loading.
