Prices vary by type and local supply, but in Oxford, GA you can typically expect roughly $30 to $80 per ton for common gravels. Exact pricing depends on the size and finish of the gravel and regional availability; use our site and enter your zip code to get a live quote.

Costs fluctuate, but plain construction sand is often comparable or slightly less expensive per ton than decorative gravel. Price depends on local supply and the application, so check per cubic yard pricing and delivery for the best comparison.

Crushed gravel has angular edges because it is mechanically broken, so it locks and compacts well for driveways and bases. Natural (river) gravel has rounded stones and is smoother, making it better for decorative features and drainage but poorer for load-bearing surfaces.

3/4" crushed gravel is a common all-purpose material used for driveways, base layers under pavers, and drainage trenches. Its angular shape compacts well in Oxford's clay soils and provides a stable surface for vehicles and foot traffic.

One ton of gravel is roughly 0.74 cubic yards, which will cover about 120 sq ft at a 2" depth, about 240 sq ft at 1" depth, or about 80 sq ft at 3" depth. Use these numbers to estimate needs, then order a little extra for waste and compaction.

For a 10x10 area at a 2" depth you need about 0.62 cubic yards (roughly 0.85 tons). Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, you may want to plan a larger project or share delivery with a neighbor if you only need a small amount.

You can place gravel directly on soil for some low-use areas, but in Oxford's clay-prone soils we recommend at least some compaction and a base layer of crushed stone or geotextile to improve drainage and reduce settling. For driveways and heavy loads, install a compacted base and edging to keep gravel stable.

For a walking path, 2" on a well-prepared base may be adequate, but for a driveway you typically want 3" to 6" of compacted gravel depending on expected traffic. In Oxford's local conditions, more depth and a compacted base help prevent rutting in wet seasons.

Cost depends on truck size, material type, and delivery distance; a tri-axle dump load often contains 10 to 15 tons of gravel. For an accurate price, enter your zip code on our site or request a quote—Hello Gravel will show delivery fees and total cost for the truckload.

Some full-size pickup trucks can carry about 1 cubic yard, but capacity depends on the truck model and payload rating. For safety and convenience, professional delivery via dump truck is usually easier and meets Hello Gravel's minimums.

For a 10x10 patio at a 2" depth you'll need about 0.62 cubic yards, roughly 0.85 tons of pea gravel. Remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum delivery, so plan accordingly or increase depth/coverage to use the minimum efficiently.

Gravel alone does not harden like concrete, but options like resin-bound gravel or polymer-stabilized aggregates create a firm, semi-rigid surface that looks like loose stone yet binds together. Talk to our team about 'stabilized' or resin-bound options if you want a firm, low-maintenance finish.

Avoid pea gravel where vehicles or bikes must travel frequently, or on steep slopes where it can roll and migrate. In Oxford's wet seasons pea gravel can shift without proper edging and base, so use it for decorative beds, play areas, or low-traffic patios instead.

Calculate square footage (length x width), choose a depth (commonly 3" to 6"), and convert to cubic yards to find required tons; then multiply by local per-ton price and add delivery. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3" needs about 1.85 cubic yards (roughly 2.5 tons), and Hello Gravel can provide a tailored quote and delivery options for your zip code.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
