Coverage depends on the truck size and desired depth. As a rule of thumb, one ton of gravel covers about 120 sq ft at 2 inches depth, so a 10-ton load covers roughly 1,200 sq ft at 2 inches. Always confirm the truck's actual cubic yard capacity with your supplier because weight and cubic volume vary by rock type.

One ton of gravel is roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards, so it will physically fit in many pickup beds. However, you must check your truck's payload rating—many half-ton pickups have payloads under 2,000 lb and may be overloaded by a ton of dense gravel. For safety and legal reasons, confirm your vehicle limits before loading.

No, 2 inches is generally not enough for a driveway that will see vehicle traffic. For a stable gravel driveway in Owensboro's climate, aim for 4 to 6 inches of compacted base material, with 6 to 8 inches recommended for heavier vehicles or poor soils. Proper base preparation and compaction matter more than just depth.

Natural river gravel or 'bank-run' gravel is often cheaper because it requires less processing, while crushed stone (often local limestone) usually costs more but offers better compaction and drainage. Costs vary by local availability around Owensboro, so balance price with the performance needs of your project when choosing material.

Buying in bulk and having it delivered by dump truck is usually the most economical option for homeowners in Owensboro. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and get transparent delivered pricing, and order at least the minimum (3 tons) to reduce per-ton delivery costs. If you need very small amounts, check local landscape suppliers for bagged material but expect higher per-ton prices.

Depth matters: at 2 inches, 1,000 sq ft requires about 8.3 tons (roughly 6.2 cubic yards); at 4 inches it needs about 16.6 tons (12.4 cubic yards). Multiply tons needed by your local price per ton to estimate cost, and remember to add extra for compaction and grading (about 5-10% more).

Using a local Owensboro price range of $25 to $45 per ton, material cost would be roughly $3,375 to $6,075, not including delivery surcharges or spreading. For large orders like this, request a volume discount and confirm truck capacity and delivery logistics with Hello Gravel.

In the Owensboro area you'll commonly find crushed limestone, bank-run gravel, and screened 3/4" crushed stone, reflecting the region's sedimentary geology. Appearance and texture vary by supplier, so samples or photos can help. Specify your intended use—driveway, drainage, or decorative—and Hello Gravel can help match materials to the job.

Owensboro sits in a region of sedimentary rock, so many local aggregates are limestone-based and may be lighter in color with good compaction qualities. Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, expect color and texture differences compared with national photos. If color or stone type matters for landscaping, note preferences in the order notes and ask your supplier for specifics.
