Prices vary by material type and supplier, but as a rule expect basic driveway/crushed base gravel to be cheaper than decorative stone. For a reliable price for your exact material and delivery, get a tailored quote through Hello Gravel since local geology and truck routing affect final rates.

The cheapest option depends on quantity and access: pickup from a local pit or landscape yard can save on delivery for small orders if you have a vehicle that can haul it. For larger jobs or if you need a dump truck to reach your site, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel is usually simplest and often economical once you factor in time and rental costs.

Use area*depth/324 to get cubic yards. For a common 20' x 40' two-car driveway (800 sq ft): 2u0022 = ~4.9 cu yd (~7 tons); 3u0022 = ~7.4 cu yd (~10.5 tons); 4u0022 = ~9.9 cu yd (~14 tons), assuming about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Adjust for your actual width/length and the exact stone density when ordering.

Coverage depends on depth: at 2u0022 depth one ton typically covers about 115–125 sq ft; at 3u0022 about 75–85 sq ft; at 4u0022 about 55–65 sq ft, depending on stone size and moisture. Because West Washington is wet much of the year, plan for a solid base and proper compaction which can affect coverage slightly.

Many local suppliers and haulers deliver to residential addresses in Longview. Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; delivery fees vary by distance, load size, and site access, and some areas have free delivery—get a quote for an exact fee and lead time.

Suppliers sell by ton, by cubic yard, or by truckload. Homeowner deliveries commonly start at a 3-ton minimum; single-truck residential loads tend to range from about 3 to 12+ tons (depending on the truck), so cost varies with material and quantity—request a per-ton or per-load quote from Hello Gravel for precise pricing.

Common local options include crushed base (3/4u0022 minus), drain rock (1u0022–2u0022 clean rock), pea gravel (1/8u0022–3/8u0022 rounded), and decorative river rock. For Longview's wet climate choose angular, well-draining crushed rock for driveway base and drainage areas, and reserve rounded decorative rock for dry landscaped beds or accents where movement is acceptable.

Some suppliers and local landscaping contractors offer spreading, grading, and compaction for an additional fee; Hello Gravel lets you request tailgate spreading at checkout but drivers perform this at their discretion. Labor and machine costs depend on scope—get firm quotes, but expect contractors to price small spreading jobs per hour or per cubic yard and larger site prep as a flat job rate.

Yes. Driveways that connect to city streets, work in regulated drainage areas, or lie within an HOA may require permits, curb cuts, or design approvals. Check with the City of Longview Public Works, Cowlitz County building/stormwater departments, and your HOA before ordering to avoid rework and ensure compliance.

Check site access for dump trucks, note any overhead wires or tight turns, and request delivery placement instructions at checkout. Ask for washed, angular material for driveway base in wet conditions, plan for proper compaction, and contact Hello Gravel or our team at 855-241-8884 for help calculating quantities and arranging delivery.
