Gravel in Jefferson Town, KY

In Jefferson Town (Louisville metro), delivered gravel prices typically range depending on type and availability; expect about $20 to $50 per ton as a general range. Decorative gravels (pea or colored stone) tend to be at the higher end, while basic crushed stone or road base is usually cheaper. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact local pricing and minimum order details.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in the Louisville area carries about 12 to 16 tons of gravel (roughly 9 to 12 cubic yards), though exact capacity varies by truck and local weight limits. Cost for a full tri-axle delivery in Jefferson Town depends on material and truck size, but you should budget for several hundred dollars; request a quote on Hello Gravel for an accurate delivered price.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. That will cover about 162 sq ft at 2 inches deep, about 108 sq ft at 3 inches, or about 67.5 sq ft at 4 inches. Use those figures to plan depth for paths, driveways, or beds in Jefferson Town.

Buying in bulk through a local supplier via Hello Gravel is usually the most cost-effective option because unit price drops with larger orders and delivery is coordinated. Choose basic crushed stone or crusher-run instead of specialty decorative gravels, and accept open-tail dump delivery rather than added spreading services to save money.

It depends on your truck's payload rating. Most half-ton pickups have payloads under 1,500 lb, so a full ton (2,000 lb) will likely exceed safe limits; heavy-duty pickups (3/4-ton or 1-ton models) may handle a ton. Always check your truck's placard for payload capacity and distribute weight safely when hauling gravel in Jefferson Town.

Cost depends on driveway width, material type, and depth. As an example, a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 3 inches depth needs about 1.9 cubic yards; at $30 to $60 per cubic yard delivered, material would be about $60 to $115, plus any delivery fees and optional spreading charges. Get an exact quote on Hello Gravel and include your desired depth and gravel type for a precise estimate.

Two inches is generally too thin for a functional driveway that will see vehicle traffic. For a stable driveway in Jefferson Town's climate and soils, aim for at least 3 to 4 inches of finished decorative gravel over a compacted base, or 4 to 6 inches with a proper stone base for heavier traffic. Consider geotextile fabric and a compacted base layer if drainage or clay soils are a concern.

Coverage depends on the gravel's density and desired depth; using a typical conversion of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, 20 tons is roughly 15 cubic yards. That will cover about 2,430 sq ft at 2 inches, about 1,620 sq ft at 3 inches, or about 1,080 sq ft at 4 inches. Local suppliers in Jefferson Town can confirm the exact weight-per-yard for the material you choose.

Capacity depends on side height, but a 7x14 dump trailer with standard 12 to 18 inch sides typically holds about 3 to 5 cubic yards. That range will vary if the trailer has taller sides or a high-capacity bed. If you plan to haul in Jefferson Town, check your trailer dimensions and payload rating before loading gravel.

Basic crushed stone, crusher-run, or bank-run material is usually the least expensive because it is widely available and used for base layers and driveways. Pea gravel, decorative colored stone, and washed gravels cost more due to processing and transport. Choose basic mixes for budget-friendly driveways, then top with more decorative stone if desired.

For a 10 ft by 10 ft area: 2 inches depth requires about 0.62 cubic yards, 3 inches needs about 0.93 cubic yards, and 4 inches needs about 1.23 cubic yards. In tons, expect roughly 0.8 to 1.6 tons depending on depth and the pea gravel density; ask Hello Gravel for an exact conversion based on the local material selected.

You can, but performance will be better if you prepare the site: remove organic topsoil, grade and compact the base, and consider a layer of compacted crushed stone or a geotextile fabric to reduce mixing and rutting. Jefferson Town's local clay soils can hold moisture, so proper base preparation and drainage are especially important to keep gravel stable over time.
