A standard tri-axle dump truck usually carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of material, which for gravel equals roughly 12 to 20 tons depending on stone density. At typical local rates ($35 to $70 per ton) a full truck can cost roughly $420 to $1,400 delivered in the San Simon area, though exact pricing varies by material type and any extra delivery charges for remote locations.

Using cubic yards is easiest: a 10 to 14 cubic yard load will cover about 1,600 to 2,270 sq ft at a 2-inch depth, and about 800 to 1,135 sq ft at a 4-inch depth. Your actual coverage depends on the truck size delivered and the compacted depth you need, so confirm yardage when you order.

Cost depends on width and depth; for example, a 200 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway is 2,400 sq ft. At 2 inches deep that is about 15 cubic yards (roughly 21 tons), so expect a delivered material cost in the ballpark of $700 to $1,500 for typical gravel; deeper base, higher-grade stone, or extra delivery fees for remote San Simon locations will increase the total.

Two inches is thin for a driveway and usually only suitable for a decorative top layer or very light use. For a functional driveway in desert conditions like San Simon, we usually recommend 3 to 4 inches compacted for light vehicles and 4 to 6 inches for regular vehicle traffic, plus a properly prepared base to limit washout and rutting.

Buying common, locally sourced materials in bulk is usually the cheapest option — order larger quantities to lower per-ton cost and avoid small delivery fees. You can also pick up materials yourself from a nearby supplier if you have a suitable vehicle, or choose standard road base or crushed stone instead of decorative colored gravels to save money.

One ton of typical crushed gravel covers roughly 110 to 120 sq ft at a 2-inch depth, though coverage varies with stone size and density. For practical planning, use 100 to 120 sq ft per ton at 2 inches and adjust if you plan a thicker layer.
