Gravel in Scottsdale, AZ

Prices vary by gravel type and supplier, but in the Phoenix-Scottsdale area delivered gravel typically ranges broadly by material and grade. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery (2+ business days) with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; for an exact, current per-ton price enter your zip code or request a quote.

Costs depend on the truck size, material, and whether you need spreading or special placement. Hello Gravel routes local contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and provides pricing in checkout; delivery fees are often included in our quoted price for many jobs, but ask for a quote to see delivery and any unloading fees for your address.

Tonnage depends on driveway width and depth; as an example a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches depth requires about 1.9 cubic yards, roughly 2.6 tons, which meets Hello Gravels 3-ton minimum so you would order 3 tons. Exact cost depends on material choice; get an instant quote for a precise delivered price and note regional variations in color and texture.

Use this method: area = length x width; volume (cu ft) = area x depth (ft); convert to cubic yards (divide by 27) and multiply by about 1.4 to get tons. For example, a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway is 1,200 sq ft: at 2 inches that is about 7.4 cu yd (≈10.4 tons), and at 4 inches it doubles to ≈20.8 tons. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and regional prices vary by material, request a quote for an accurate delivered price based on your address and chosen gravel type.

In Scottsdale's desert climate 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway that will see vehicle traffic; homeowners usually install 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel over a prepared base for durability. Installation costs vary by site prep, edging, and spreading; expect to pay extra for contractor labor or spreading services, so request a local installation quote and consider proper base preparation to avoid washout during monsoon season.

Cheaper options in the Phoenix area are typically road base, crusher run, or locally sourced decomposed granite with fines, but availability and appearance vary by supplier. A 10x10 area at 2 inches needs about 0.62 cubic yards (≈0.9 tons), which is less than Hello Gravels 3-ton minimum, so youd order 3 tons; request a quote for current delivered pricing on the specific, low-cost material you prefer.

A 10x10 patio at 2 inches depth needs roughly 0.9 tons of pea gravel, but Hello Gravels 3-ton minimum will apply for delivery. Supply-only cost depends on the pea gravel grade and current local pricing; installation (spreading, edging, compaction) is an additional cost and varies by contractor, so ask Hello Gravel for supply pricing and get a local installer quote for labor.

A cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 2,000 to 2,800 lb depending on type, which often exceeds a typical pickup trucks safe payload even if it physically fits, so delivery by dump truck is recommended. Hello Gravel uses local dump fleets, has a 3-ton minimum, and many areas have delivery included in the quoted price; check your zip code in checkout for specific delivery fees and scheduling options.

One cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, and 108 sq ft at 3 inches; one cubic yard is roughly 1.3 to 1.6 tons depending on material. Delivery costs depend on distance, order size, and supplier; tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the drivers discretion and is not guaranteed—for guaranteed spreading or fine grading, hire a local landscaper and get a separate labor quote.

Materials that lock up include stabilized decomposed granite, resin-bound gravel, and certain crushed stone mixes with fines that compact tightly (often called crusher run or road base). These products and their installation cost more than loose gravel; supply-plus-installation for a hardened, stabilized surface can vary widely by product and contractor, so request material options and local installation estimates to compare longevity and price.
