A standard 10-14 cubic yard dump truck typically holds about 14-20 tons of gravel. In Western North Carolina including Washington Park, a delivered truckload commonly costs between $400 and $1,200 depending on material type, distance, and supplier; decorative gravels sit at the higher end.

For 1,000 sq ft you will need roughly 8.6 tons at 2", 13.0 tons at 3", and 17.3 tons at 4" (allow for 5-10% extra for compaction/waste). At typical delivered prices in the area of about $30-$65 per ton, total costs (materials plus delivery where included) run roughly $260-$560 for 2", $390-$845 for 3", and $520-$1,125 for 4". Prices vary by stone type and exact delivery distance, so get a zip-code quote for a firm price.

For a 100 ft driveway: at 8 ft wide you need about 7.0 tons (2"), 10.4 tons (3"), 13.8 tons (4"); at 10 ft wide about 8.6, 13.0, 17.3 tons; at 12 ft wide about 10.4, 15.6, 20.7 tons. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Expect regional sourcing so material texture and color may vary from images.

A 20x20 (400 sq ft) area requires about 3.5 tons at 2", 5.2 tons at 3", and 6.9 tons at 4" (order 5-10% extra). Using local delivered prices of $30-$65 per ton, total cost estimates are roughly $105-$230 for 2", $155-$340 for 3", and $210-$450 for 4". Note Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum may apply, so 2" coverage on 400 sq ft could hit the minimum order.

A rough estimate for 500 tons at typical delivered rates of $25-$60 per ton would be $12,500-$30,000. Suppliers commonly offer bulk discounts or negotiated pricing for large commercial loads, so bundled hauling and supplier pricing can reduce per-ton cost.

Using a common density assumption, 1 ton of gravel covers approximately 116 sq ft at 2", 77 sq ft at 3", and 58 sq ft at 4". These are approximate figures and assume loose material before compaction; plan for 5-10% additional material to allow for compaction and waste. Local soil conditions and how much you compact the gravel will change coverage slightly.

Two inches can work as a thin surface dressing or for a temporary drive, but it is usually not sufficient as the entire driveway structure in Washington Park. For a durable residential driveway, aim for a well-compacted base of 4-6 inches of crushed stone with a 2-4 inch surface layer on top, and consider extra depth where drainage is poor or soils are clayey. If you are unsure about subsurface conditions, consider a deeper base or consult a local contractor.

Cheapest per-ton pricing usually comes from larger truckloads (tri-axle dump trucks or full truckloads) and bulk orders, while small pickups or single-ton deliveries cost more per ton. For small homeowners, ordering the minimum 3-ton delivery through Hello Gravel or picking up 1-3 tons in a truck bed can be the most cost-effective and convenient option, depending on truck access and handling. Always compare delivered per-ton quotes and factor in unloading convenience and any spreading you may need.

A layered approach works best: a firm base of 3/4" crushed stone or recycled base material, then a 3/8" to 1/2" surface stone or fines for compaction and a smooth finish. In Western North Carolina, delivered prices commonly run about $30-$50 per ton for base material and $40-$75 per ton for decorative or screened surface gravels, but exact prices depend on material type and distance. Ask Hello Gravel for material photos and local availability because regional geology affects color and texture.

For a 100 ft driveway at 10 ft wide installing a 6" compacted base plus a 2" surface, you need about 26-30 tons total (roughly 15.6 tons for a 6" base + 5.2 tons for a 2" surface, plus 10% for compaction/waste). At typical blended delivered rates of $35-$60 per ton, expect a ballpark cost of $900-$1,800 for materials and delivery, excluding any excavation, geotextile fabric, or grading. Site conditions like poor drainage or soft soils can increase required depth and cost, so get a site-specific assessment if unsure.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
