To calculate volume: multiply area (sq ft) by depth (ft) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches equals 1,000 * 0.25 / 27 = 9.3 cubic yards, which typically weighs about 12 to 15 tons depending on moisture; use our online calculator or contact us for help with your exact dimensions.

Hello Gravel does not provide compaction as a standard service, but many local contractors we work with can perform compaction for you.

Our minimum order is 3 tons, and delivery fees depend on your exact zip code, driveway access, and site conditions.

Some local suppliers carry 'clean fill' or structural fill suitable for under-driveway or under-slab use, typically low in organic matter and free of debris and large roots. Specifications vary by supplier; request clean-fill or structural-fill when you get a quote and ask for material details or photos—if you need certified gradation or lab testing, coordinate that with a contractor or supplier ahead of delivery.
