One ton of gravel is about 0.7 cubic yards and will cover roughly 230 sq ft at a 1-inch depth or about 115 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. Use these figures to estimate coverage for patios, paths, or thin top dressings; for thicker bases or driveways plan on more material.

A tri-axle dump truck commonly carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. Multiply the per-ton price in your Hello Gravel quote by the truckload size and add any delivery fee to estimate the delivered cost; our checkout shows total pricing before you confirm.

Ordering the minimum 3+ ton bulk delivery from local suppliers is usually cheaper per ton than buying small bags. Choose locally sourced materials (recycled crushed or crusher run) and compare quotes on Hello Gravel to find the best price for your project.

Cost depends on width, depth, and material. For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) at 3 inches depth you need about 1.8 cubic yards (roughly 2.5 to 3 tons), so multiply that tonnage by your per-ton price and include delivery; larger driveways and thicker bases increase the total significantly.

Volume-wise, 1 ton (about 0.7 cubic yards) will usually fit in a full-size pickup bed, but weight is the limiting factor. Check your truck’s payload rating before hauling because 1 ton may exceed smaller trucks’ safe load; if in doubt, choose delivery by dump truck.

Two inches is generally too thin for a vehicle driveway, especially in Littleton where freeze-thaw and snow can move a shallow surface. For a durable driveway use a compacted base of 3–6 inches of crushed stone and consider a larger, angular base layer under any decorative topcoat.

For driveways choose angular crushed stone like 3/4u0022 crushed rock or crusher run for a strong, compactable base; #57 stone or pea gravel can be used as a top layer for appearance but pea is less stable under vehicle traffic. For drainage use clean, washed stone such as 3/4u0022 or larger drain rock; local Front Range materials tend to be angular and perform well through Colorado freeze-thaw cycles.

A two-car driveway about 20 ft by 40 ft (800 sq ft) at a 4-inch compacted depth needs roughly 9.9 cubic yards, which converts to about 13–14 tons depending on rock type. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator for a precise estimate and add 5–10% extra for compaction and waste.
