In the Sacramento-Roseville area one ton of bulk gravel commonly ranges from about $35 to $100 depending on type. Basic crushed rock is usually $35 to $60 per ton while decorative or colored gravels can be $60 to $100 per ton. Remember Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons for delivery.

For the best price, order bulk material (tons) delivered by dump truck rather than buying bags. Choose a locally sourced base rock or crush rather than decorative stone, order at least the 3-ton minimum, and schedule delivery for a weekday when haulers are more available. Use Hello Gravel's calculator and compare material options to balance cost and performance.

A 50 lb bag of gravel contains roughly 0.5 cubic feet of material. At a 2-inch depth that covers about 3 square feet; at a 1-inch depth it covers about 6 square feet. For most landscaping beds in Folsom you'll save money by ordering bulk if you need more than a few bags.

A standard tri-axle dump truck (about 10 to 12 cubic yards) delivered to Folsom typically costs in the $700 to $1,300 range, depending on material type and haul distance.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a residential driveway. For light-use driveways 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel is typical, and for heavier vehicle traffic 4 to 6 inches is recommended along with a well-prepared base and proper drainage. Folsom's seasonal rain and occasional heavy loads make a thicker compacted section advisable to minimize rutting.

For a 100 ft long driveway at a typical single-car width of 10 ft: • 3-inch depth: volume = 100 x 10 x 0.25 ft = 250 cu ft = 9.3 yd3, which is about 13 tons. • 4-inch depth: volume = 100 x 10 x 0.333 ft = 333 cu ft = 12.3 yd3, about 17 tons. These use an approximate conversion of 1 cubic yard = 1.4 tons; adjust if you choose a denser or lighter material.

You can install small gravel projects yourself if you have basic tools, time, and ability to move and spread material. Hire a contractor if you need grading, compaction, drainage work, or a larger delivery (remember heavy lifting and machine use). For delivery and optional tailgate spreading request, order through Hello Gravel and note that driver spreading is at their discretion.

Costs vary by site prep, material, and labor. For a small 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (about 200 sq ft) expect material needs of roughly 2 to 4 tons and material-only costs often between $150 and $400; full installation with grading, base prep, and compaction typically runs from about $500 to $1,800. Ask Hello Gravel for material pricing and get local contractor estimates for installation to get an accurate total.

It depends on the truck. One cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 2,500 to 3,000 pounds, so many half-ton pickups cannot safely carry that weight; 3/4-ton or 1-ton trucks are more likely to handle a full cubic yard. Always check your truck's payload rating before loading and consider using Hello Gravel delivery for larger orders.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture reflect local geology and can vary from online photos. Photos are representative; expect natural variation in shade, size, and mix. If color is important, add notes at checkout and ask customer service for local supplier details before ordering.
