One ton of loose gravel typically covers about 125 sq ft at a 2-inch depth (about 250 sq ft at 1 inch, or about 62 sq ft at 4 inches). Local stone density can vary in Willows due to regional sourcing, so use these as practical estimates and round up to allow for compaction and settling.

A 50 lb bag is about 0.025 tons and will cover roughly 3 sq ft at a 2-inch depth or about 6 sq ft at a 1-inch depth. For larger jobs in Willows it is almost always more cost effective to buy by the ton because Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons.

A standard tri-axle dump truck carrying 12 to 14 tons will cover roughly 1,500 to 1,750 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. If you need a deeper base for a driveway (4 inches or more) expect coverage to be about half that area; ask Hello Gravel for the truck size and estimated coverage per order.

Use 1 to 2 inches for decorative mulch or plant beds, 2 to 3 inches for walkways and patios, 3 to 4 inches for low-traffic driveways, and 4 to 6 inches over a compacted base for regular-driveway use. Consider local soil and drainage in Willows and add edging or geotextile fabric where needed to keep stone in place.

Gravel itself can last many years, but surfaces in Willows typically need light maintenance and topping every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and winter runoff. With proper base preparation and occasional replenishing you can avoid major rework for 5 to 15 years; high-traffic areas or poor drainage will require more frequent attention.

A 7x14 trailer with 2-foot sidewalls holds about 7 to 7.5 cubic yards (7.3 cu yd by volume), which translates to roughly 9 to 10 tons of gravel depending on material density. Keep in mind Hello Gravel delivers by dump truck, not trailer, but this helps if you're hauling locally in Willows.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and typically delivers by tri-axle dump truck with a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply); drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
