Gravel in Eagar, AZ

Delivered gravel prices in the Eagar area vary by type and supplier, but you can expect rough ranges: crushed stone $25-$55 per ton, road base $20-$45 per ton, and decorative creek rock $40-$80 per ton. A convenient rule of thumb is 1 cubic yard is about 1.3–1.5 tons, so multiply the per-ton price by about 1.4 to get a per-cubic-yard estimate. Local factors like distance from the quarry, seasonal demand, and particle size will change pricing, so get a Hello Gravel quote for an exact delivered price to your zip code.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order; many deliveries in populated areas include free delivery, but small towns like Eagar may incur additional fees if the supplier or hauler has to travel farther. Typical remote-delivery fees for towns this size range from about $50 to $200, depending on distance and truck routing. The best way to know is to enter your address on Hello Gravel or call our team for an accurate delivery fee for your location.

Use cubic yards = (width ft × length ft × depth ft)/27, and convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.4. Examples for a 20 ft wide driveway: 20'x50' at 3u0022 depth ≈ 9.3 yd3 ≈ 13 tons; 20'x100' at 3u0022 ≈ 18.5 yd3 ≈ 26 tons; 20'x50' at 4u0022 ≈ 12.3 yd3 ≈ 17 tons. These are approximate—soil type and compaction affect final needs, so order a small overage (5-10%) or confirm with Hello Gravel.

A typical tri-axle dump truck serving Hello Gravel carries roughly 10–14 tons (about 7–10 cubic yards) of loose gravel. For example, if you need 13 tons for a 20'x50' driveway at 3u0022, that is roughly one full tri-axle load; a 26-ton job would be about two loads. Material cost for a full truck depends on the per-ton price and delivery fee—at $40/ton and a 12-ton load you'd pay about $480 for material plus a delivery fee (often $50–$200), so expect a delivered truck to cost roughly $550–$700 in many cases.

Some local haulers and landscape contractors will offer tailgate spreading or full installation near Eagar, but tailgate spreading is provided at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Full installation and grading are typically contracted separately; expect labor rates or package prices roughly from $40–$80 per hour per worker or flat packages from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on driveway size and prep required. When checking out with Hello Gravel, request spreading in the Order Notes and ask our team for local installer referrals and estimated package pricing.

For Eagar's seasonal snow and freeze-thaw cycles, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4u0022 minus or 3/4u0022 clean crushed) provides good compaction and traction, while larger rounded creek rock can be slippery and shift under snowplows. Crushed road base or 3/4u0022 crushed stone is usually the most cost-effective choice; decorative or colored creek rock is typically 20–50% more expensive per ton. Choose crushed stone for a functional driveway and creek rock for decorative borders or low-traffic areas.

Geotextile fabric is recommended in many Eagar projects, especially where underlying soil is soft or you want to limit mixing of fines into the subgrade; it helps with drainage and slows weed growth. Material cost for woven fabric commonly ranges from about $0.40 to $1.00 per square yard, and professional installation typically adds labor costs—budget an additional $0.50–$1.50 per square foot if a contractor is laying it. For a typical 20'x50' driveway, fabric plus installation can add a few hundred dollars, but it often reduces long-term maintenance.

You can place gravel directly over dirt for short-term or low-traffic uses, but for a long-lasting driveway in Eagar's freeze-thaw climate you should grade, compact the subgrade, and install a compacted base (road base or crusher-run) before the finish gravel. Proper base and compaction reduce rutting and the need for frequent refills; adding a compacted base commonly adds material and labor costs—often $10–$30 per cubic yard for base material plus compaction equipment or contractor charges. For durable driveways, plan and budget for base prep rather than skipping directly to surface gravel.

Lead times for Eagar deliveries depend on season and local stock. Hello Gravel's standard delivery window is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee applies), but local quarries may have slower turnaround in winter or during high-demand periods. Because Eagar is a small, rural market, occasional regional shortages or extended hauler travel times can occur—check availability and schedule early for spring projects.

Total cost is driven by the amount of material (square footage × depth), the type of gravel, and hauling distance from local suppliers. Longer driveways and deeper surfaces increase cubic yards and truckloads, and remote delivery to Eagar can add fuel or travel fees; for example, a 20'x50' driveway at 3u0022 using crushed stone might need ~13 tons—material cost at $35/ton plus a $100 delivery fee gives a rough total of $555. Always get a site-specific quote from Hello Gravel because local hauling, access issues, and whether spreading or prep is needed will change final pricing.
