For 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches you need about 6.17 cubic yards (roughly 8.6 tons).

1,000 sq ft at 2 inches equals about 6.17 cubic yards, which is roughly 8.6 tons using a common conversion of 1.4 tons per cubic yard. We recommend ordering 5-15% extra for compaction, grading, and waste; for this area that means ordering about 9.5 to 10 yards (roughly 13.5 tons) if you want a safe buffer or to avoid a second delivery. Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons and local truck capacities may require rounding up to a full truckload.

A typical tri-axle dump truck serving Madison will usually carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 16 tons) of gravel, though actual capacity depends on the truck and local weight limits. Delivered cost for a full truck varies by material and distance; expect a very rough ballpark of $400 to $1,200 for a truckload delivered to rural Madison locations. For an exact truckload price we recommend requesting a quote so we can match you with a nearby supplier and hauler.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a residential driveway. In Madison's rural, sometimes clayey soils and variable weather you should plan on a compacted base of at least 4 to 6 inches of crushed aggregate, with an additional 1.5 to 3 inches of finer surface material for wear. Thicker bases (6 to 8 inches) are recommended for heavier vehicles, poor subgrade, or steep driveways.

For West North Carolina and Madison conditions we typically recommend a well-graded crushed stone base (often #2 or a 3/4"-1" crushed stone) compacted to 4 to 6 inches, topped with 1.5 to 3 inches of #57 stone or screenings for a finished surface. Add a layer of geotextile fabric under the base on soft or sloped ground to improve drainage and reduce rutting. Local suppliers may offer regionally common materials (limestone, granite, or river stone) so choose a crushed, angular product for best interlock and stability.

Hello Gravel coordinates delivery to Madison addresses using local dump truck fleets; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available under the stated cutoff. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but this service is not guaranteed and is assessed on arrival for safety. For full spreading and installation you should hire a local contractor; Hello Gravel can connect you with suppliers and provide quotes for material and delivery but does not guarantee installation services.

Permit and HOA rules vary; in many parts of Rockingham County and rural Madison a permit is not required for a private gravel driveway, but some lots, subdivisions, or HOA rules may restrict surface materials or require approvals. Hello Gravel does not handle permits or approvals, but we can provide material specs, delivery invoices, and gravel descriptions to support your permit or HOA submission. Before ordering, check with Rockingham County planning and any applicable HOA to confirm requirements.

Affordable local options commonly used near Madison include bank run gravel, crushed stone, screenings, and recycled concrete; each has different benefits for cost and performance. Hello Gravel works with regional suppliers who often offer volume pricing or discounts for larger orders, and we can show price breaks when you request a quote.

Plan to order 10 to 15% extra for driveways to account for compaction, grading, and sloped or irregular areas; for flat walkways or decorative uses 5 to 10% extra is usually enough.

If you're unsure, contact our team with your measurements and photos and we will recommend a safe quantity.
