One ton of gravel is about 0.7 cubic yards (roughly 19.3 cubic feet). That covers approximately 230 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 115 sq ft at 2 inches, and 77 sq ft at 3 inches—use those figures to estimate how many tons you need for your project in Warrenton.

For most Warrenton projects we recommend placing a geotextile fabric to limit weed growth and soil contamination, plus a compacted base of crushed stone (often 2-4 inches of 2A or similar) to improve drainage and reduce rutting. Add a solid edging like steel or stone to keep the gravel contained, especially where winter freeze-thaw could move material.

Calculate cubic yards first: (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards; then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons. For example, a 20 ft x 20 ft driveway (400 sq ft) at 3 inches deep needs about 3.7 cubic yards or roughly 5.2 tons of gravel.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days in most areas; next-day delivery may be available if you order before noon CST and pay an additional fee. Use Hello Gravel’s checkout to see available dates for Warrenton zip codes and to select next-day delivery if the option appears.

For Warrenton’s climate and soils, a layered approach works well: a compacted base of larger crushed stone (1-1.5 inch) for drainage, topped with 3/4-inch crushed stone or 57 stone for stability and traction. Washed pea gravel is good for patios but not ideal for driveways since it shifts more; choose angular crushed stone for better interlock in freeze-thaw conditions.

Make sure the dump site is accessible with clear overhead and side clearance and stable ground for a dump truck; note any narrow streets or low-hanging wires when ordering. If you plan to have material dumped on the street or block public right-of-way, check Warrenton town rules for permits and let our team know in advance so we can coordinate with the driver.
