Keep in mind our minimum order is typically 3 tons and delivery fees can change with load size and location.

The most economical choice depends on the driveway design and how much site prep you need, but base-course materials are often less expensive than decorative surfacing. Materials like base gravel or crusher-run are commonly chosen for cost-effectiveness, while screened or decorative materials are pricier. Consider total project cost, including grading, compaction, and drainage, when choosing between gravel, sand, dirt, stone.

For a 20 x 20 foot area, each inch of depth equals about 0.46 cubic yards; a common base of 4 inches requires roughly 5 cubic yards and a 6-inch base needs about 7.5 cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons using local material density (a rule of thumb is about 1.2–1.6 tons per cubic yard) and then request a quote to factor in delivery and any spreading. Use our online calculator or contact our team to get a precise estimate for gravel, sand, dirt, or stone.

Coverage varies by material density and desired depth, but one ton typically equals about 0.7–0.8 cubic yards, which covers roughly 70–80 square feet at a 1-inch depth. Doubling the depth halves the coverage, so a 2-inch layer covers about 35–40 square feet per ton. For accurate planning in Mountain City, use a calculator or request a quote that accounts for the specific material you plan to use.

Both options have uses: crusher-run or mixed base materials are generally better for a compacted base because they lock together, while screened or washed materials make a smoother top layer or finish. The right choice depends on slope, drainage needs, and whether you need a durable base or a decorative surface.

Typical minimum orders start around 3 tons, and standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees depend on distance from the supplier, load size, and access constraints; some areas offer free delivery depending on local supplier arrangements. Drivers usually deliver with tri-axle dump trucks and may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed.

During peak season lead times can lengthen, so schedule as early as possible to secure preferred dates. Next-day delivery may be available if you order before the cutoff time, but weekend delivery is limited and depends on local supplier schedules. Check available dates in checkout and contact our team for help finding the fastest available option.

Yes — we can provide a comprehensive quote, but final pricing depends on material type, quantity, access to the drop site, and whether tailgate spreading is requested.

For a precise number, submit your address and project details so we can factor in delivery, labor, and material specifics.

Local regulations or HOA rules may affect driveway work, right-of-way access, and material dumping, so check with Mountain City or Johnson County offices before you start.
