Gravel in Cleveland, NY

A single tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 12-16 tons) of gravel. Prices depend on the gravel type, local supplier rates, and delivery distance; Hello Gravel provides transparent quotes for Cleveland orders and requires a 3-ton minimum. Contact us or use Get a Quote to see exact pricing for your material and delivery window.

One cubic yard of gravel will cover about 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth, or about 50 square feet at a 4-inch depth. These are general estimates; exact coverage varies with the gravel size and how much it settles, so we recommend rounding up and checking your desired finished depth.

Buying in bulk through Hello Gravel and scheduling a standard dump delivery is usually more economical than buying bagged gravel at retail stores. Choosing locally sourced common grades like crusher run or bank-run can also lower cost, but availability in small Cleveland markets can affect price.

A 10x10 patio is 100 square feet. For a 2-inch gravel surface you need about 0.62 cubic yards; for a 4-inch compacted base you need about 1.23 cubic yards, so most homeowners order 1 to 1.5 cubic yards and round up to allow for compaction and waste. If you plan to lay pavers, include any base stone and bedding sand in your calculation.

Cost depends on driveway width and depth as well as the gravel type. For example, a one-car driveway 20 ft long and 10 ft wide at a 3-inch depth needs about 1.85 cubic yards (round up to 2 yards); total cost will then depend on per-yard price and delivery. Contact Hello Gravel for a Cleveland-specific quote that includes material, delivery, and any optional spreading fees.

Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway that will see vehicle traffic; we recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel over a prepared subgrade for light vehicles, and a thicker base for heavier loads. Cleveland's freeze-thaw cycles and snow plowing make a stable, well-compacted base especially important to reduce rutting and washout.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically carries about 3 to 4 cubic yards of gravel, depending on sidewall height and how full you load it. Payload in tons varies with material density, so check your trailer's weight limit before hauling. For larger jobs in Cleveland it's usually more efficient to order a truck delivery.

Locally available materials like bank-run or crusher run are often the most affordable because they require less processing and are sourced nearby. Decorative gravels like pea stone or colored landscape gravel usually cost more. Prices in Cleveland can vary based on local supply, so request quotes for the cheapest available local grade.

A standard tri-axle load of about 10-12 cubic yards will cover roughly 1,000 to 1,200 square feet at a 2-inch depth. If you need a thicker layer, such as 3 or 4 inches for driveways, that same load will cover proportionally less area. Factor in settling and grading when planning coverage for a Cleveland property.

You can put gravel over dirt for low-traffic garden paths, but for driveways or heavy use you should remove organic material, grade and compact the subgrade, and consider a geotextile fabric plus a crushed-stone base. Proper preparation reduces mixing of soils and gravel, improves drainage, and helps resist frost heave common in upstate New York.

Tractor Supply often carries bagged gravel and sometimes bulk options at select locations, but availability and types vary. For bulk needs, delivery convenience, and competitive per-ton pricing in Cleveland, Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and scheduled dump-truck delivery. Check Tractor Supply for small bag needs, and use Hello Gravel for larger, delivered orders.

Twenty tons of gravel is roughly 12 cubic yards (actual conversion varies by material density). At a 2-inch depth that would cover about 1,200 square feet; at 4 inches it would cover about 600 square feet. Local material densities and compaction affect these numbers, so use them as planning estimates.

Lifespan depends on use and maintenance: a well-installed driveway with proper base and periodic top-ups can last 10 to 20 years or more, while high-traffic or poorly drained surfaces will need repairs sooner. In Cleveland, winter plowing, freeze-thaw cycles, and drainage issues are the main factors that shorten gravel lifespan, so regular grading and occasional replenishing help extend it.

The '10/20/30/40' idea refers to aggregate gradation guidelines used in concrete and asphalt specifications to ensure a good mix of particle sizes. For most homeowners ordering loose gravel for driveways or landscaping in Cleveland you do not need to follow this rule directly; contractors and suppliers will supply the appropriate gradation for structural base or concrete aggregate when needed. If you need mix-specific aggregate, ask your Hello Gravel rep for gradation or spec sheets.

A 50 lb bag of gravel contains about 0.018 to 0.02 cubic yards, which covers roughly 1.5 to 2 square feet at a 2-inch depth. Bags are convenient for small repairs or accents, but for any sizable area in Cleveland you will usually save money and time by ordering bulk delivered material.
