Gravel in Jacksonville, VT

Delivered cost depends on material type, truck size, and supplier distance to Jacksonville. Typical tri-axle truckloads hold about 10-14 tons; at common West Vermont delivered prices of roughly $30-$80 per ton that translates to about $300-$1,120 per truckload. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery (2+ business days); check your zip code at checkout or contact our team for an exact quote.

Use 1 cubic yard = 27 cu ft and roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard as a rule of thumb. For 1,000 sq ft: 2u0022 depth = ~6.17 yd3 ≈ 8.6 tons; 3u0022 = ~9.26 yd3 ≈ 13.0 tons; 4u0022 = ~12.35 yd3 ≈ 17.3 tons. At a mid-range delivered price of $45/ton those quantities cost about $390, $585, and $780 respectively, but local prices can vary so get a zip-code quote for exact pricing.

A 20x20 area is 400 sq ft. Typical surface depths: 2u0022 ≈ 3.5 tons, 3u0022 ≈ 5.2 tons, 4u0022 ≈ 6.9 tons. At $45/ton delivered that material cost would be roughly $160, $235, or $310 plus any regional delivery fee; order minimum is 3 tons so 2u0022 may hit the minimum requirement in some cases—request a quote to confirm.

A 100 ft by 12 ft driveway is 1,200 sq ft. For common surface depths: 2u0022 ≈ 10.4 tons, 3u0022 ≈ 15.6 tons, 4u0022 ≈ 20.7 tons. One tri-axle truck (10-14 tons) may handle a 2u0022 surface, while a 3u0022 or 4u0022 job will likely need two truckloads; estimate material cost by multiplying tons by your local per-ton price and check the checkout for delivered pricing to your zip code.

In Vermont's freeze-thaw climate and with snowplowing, 2u0022 of surface gravel is generally thin and will require frequent touch-ups and may rut. We recommend at least 3-4u0022 of surface gravel over a compacted crushed stone base, and 4-8u0022 of crushed base where soils are soft or drainage is poor. Adding an extra 1u0022 over 1,000 sq ft is about 4.3 tons (roughly $150-$200 at typical local rates), so plan accordingly for longevity.

Lower-cost options commonly found in West Vermont include bank-run gravel, crusher-run (screenings + fines), and recycled crushed concrete; these are usually less expensive than decorative washed stone or colored gravels. Typical delivered ranges in the region are roughly $25-$60 per ton depending on material and distance, so a tri-axle load (10-14 tons) often runs about $250-$840 delivered. Prices vary by supplier and season, so check Hello Gravel for current local pricing and availability.

You can put gravel directly over compacted, well-draining soil for low-traffic paths, but in Jacksonville's freeze-thaw conditions and for driveways you should remove top organic soil, install a geotextile fabric if desired, and add a crushed-stone base for drainage and stability. Base prep increases material needs: e.g., 1,000 sq ft with a 4u0022 crushed base plus a 2u0022 surface requires about 25.9 tons total (≈17.3 tons base + 8.6 tons surface). Preparing the base prevents rutting and reduces long-term maintenance even though it raises initial material cost.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that service West Vermont and small towns like Jacksonville (population ~610), but delivery availability depends on the supplier and your zip code. We have a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery (2+ business days); enter your zip code on our site or call our team to confirm delivery options, schedules, and material photos for your area.

Typical tri-axle dump trucks carry about 10-14 tons of gravel; larger end-dump trucks can carry 18-24 tons. For a 20x10 ft driveway (200 sq ft) at 2u0022 you need about 1.7 tons (one small truck or part of a larger truck), while a 1,000 sq ft area at 3u0022 needs about 13.0 tons (usually one full tri-axle load). Because truck sizes and local weights vary, confirm truck capacity with your Hello Gravel quote to know exact truck count.

A well-built gravel driveway in Vermont often needs periodic resurfacing every 3-7 years and routine top-ups more frequently depending on traffic, plowing, and drainage. Expect to add roughly 0.5-2 tons per 1,000 sq ft per year for maintenance (about 0.25u0022-1u0022 of material), which at typical rates could cost roughly $25-$200 annually including delivery for a 1,000 sq ft driveway. Budget more if you use heavy snowplows or have poor drainage, and consider investing in a proper crushed-stone base to reduce long-term costs.
