For a 100 ft driveway the tonnage depends on width and depth: for example, a 100 ft by 10 ft driveway at 3 inches deep needs about 13 tons (roughly one truckload), while at 2 inches it needs about 9 tons. If your driveway is 12 ft wide, plan about 16 tons at 3 inches or 11 tons at 2 inches. Use our material calculator or send dimensions and desired depth to get a precise estimate for your property.

One ton of typical gravel covers about 110 to 120 square feet at 2 inches depth, about 75 to 80 square feet at 3 inches, and about 55 to 60 square feet at 4 inches. Exact coverage varies with the gravel size and how well it compacts, so treat these numbers as practical estimates when planning your order. Use our calculator for a quick conversion to the tonnage you need.

A standard tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards (around 14 to 17 tons), which will cover roughly 1,600 to 1,900 square feet at 2 inches depth, or about 1,000 to 1,200 square feet at 3 inches. Local trucks and capacities can vary, so we’ll confirm the truck size when you place your order to minimize trips and costs. Keep in mind access and driveway slope in Bean Station can affect where trucks can safely dump.

Two inches can be adequate for a well-draining, low-traffic parking area or a temporary surface, but for an all-season residential driveway in Bean Station we generally recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel for regular vehicle use. If your soil is soft or you have poor drainage, consider adding a compacted base layer or geotextile and increasing thickness to reduce rutting. Request a site assessment or ask our team for recommendations based on your lot conditions.

Crush-and-run (also called crusher run) is usually less expensive and compacts tightly, making it a strong, stable choice for driveways in Bean Station. Loose decorative gravels like pea gravel look nicer but shift more under tires and require more maintenance. For a durable, low-maintenance driveway we typically recommend crush-and-run as a base or finished surface unless you want a decorative option.

For most residential driveways a tri-axle truck (about 10 to 12 cubic yards) is ideal because it delivers a large volume in a single trip while still fitting most rural and suburban driveways in Bean Station. If you have tight access, steep driveways, or low-hanging wires, a smaller single-axle truck or multiple smaller deliveries may be safer. Provide photos or describe access at checkout so we can match the right truck to your property.

Small deliveries of gravel typically do not require a permit, but any grading, curb cuts, or changes that affect a county or state road may need approval from local authorities. Bean Station residents should check with their town or county road and building departments before major grading or driveway modifications. When in doubt, contact our team and we can point you to the likely local agency to call.
