Most contracted dump trucks used for residential deliveries are tri-axle trucks that commonly carry about 10 to 14 tons, but actual weight depends on material density and local hauling rules. Hello Gravel lists the delivery method on checkout and can confirm estimated tons for your order before dispatch. If you need more precise capacity for planning, ask your sales rep.

Coverage depends on the material and desired depth. As a rough guide, one ton typically covers about 50 to 70 square feet at 2 inches depth; deeper layers or heavier materials will reduce coverage. Use the Hello Gravel material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a precise estimate.

Pick material based on function: drainage and base layers need angular, compactable aggregates; top layers prioritize appearance and walkability. Consider local climate (freeze-thaw in Kentucky), site drainage, and whether the area will be driven on or planted. Use the aggregate quiz or contact Hello Gravel for tailored recommendations.

You order online, choose a delivery date, and Hello Gravel connects you with a local supplier and hauler. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; drivers deliver by dump truck and may do limited tailgate spreading at their discretion. Provide clear access instructions and note any restrictions at checkout to avoid delays.

Often yes, but site preparation improves performance: remove organic debris, grade for positive drainage, and compact the subgrade if load-bearing. For many driveways and patios a base layer followed by a finishing layer gives the best results; for planting beds you may prefer to blend or amend soil. If you are unsure about local soil conditions, reach out for guidance before ordering.

Material needed depends on driveway width and desired depth. For example, a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 3 inches depth is roughly 11 cubic yards, which typically converts to about 15 to 17 tons depending on material density. Use the Hello Gravel calculator or contact our team with your exact dimensions to get a firm quantity and price.

Buy local materials, order larger quantities when possible, and compare quotes from multiple suppliers to lower per-ton costs. Scheduling standard delivery windows and avoiding rush orders also reduces fees. Hello Gravel simplifies comparison shopping among trusted local suppliers so you can find the best combination of price and availability.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. Request spreading during checkout and note that the driver will assess feasibility on arrival. If spreading is required, consider hiring a landscaper or requesting a specialized spreading service in addition to the delivery.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; changes are easiest to accommodate before the order is processed and the truck is dispatched. We will do our best to help, but modifications or cancellations may be limited once the supplier begins fulfillment. Check your order confirmation for contact information and timing guidelines.

Materials reflect the geology around Cynthiana, so color, texture, and particle shape can vary from the photos you see online. Local climate and soil types also influence how materials compact, drain, and age over time. If appearance or specific performance is important, request local samples or ask our team about regional variations before ordering.
