A standard tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 16 tons depending on the material). At pea gravel prices of $30 to $60 per ton, expect a delivered truckload to run roughly $360 to $960 for material alone, plus any delivery or spreading fees.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers that commonly serve Harrison County towns such as Marshall, Hallsville, Waskom, Karnack, Harleton, Uncertain, and Elysian Fields. Availability can vary by zip code and supplier; enter your address or zip code on our site or contact our team to confirm delivery options and scheduling. We source regionally, so material color and texture may differ across these towns.

Coverage depends on truck volume and desired depth. As an example, a 10 cubic yard truck will cover about 1,620 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 1,080 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and 810 sq ft at 4u0022 depth; convert using 1 cubic yard = 27 cu ft. If you prefer ton-based estimates, one ton of typical gravel is about 22.5 cu ft and will cover roughly 135 sq ft at 2u0022 depth; always allow extra for compaction and grading.

Cost depends on driveway width, depth, and material. For a 200 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 3u0022 depth you need about 22.2 cubic yards (about 26 to 28 tons); material alone at $20 to $40 per ton would be roughly $520 to $1,120, with total delivered cost often ranging $700 to $1,800 after delivery and any spreading. Contact Hello Gravel with your driveway width and preferred material for a precise, local quote and scheduling.

Coverage varies with depth: 20 tons of typical gravel is about 450 cubic feet. That will cover roughly 2,700 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, about 1,800 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and about 1,350 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. Factors like compaction, grading, and the specific gravel density will change those numbers, so round up and order a little extra for waste and settling.

Pea gravel is attractive and drains well but it can shift and migrate, making it less ideal for high-traffic driveways or vehicle areas without stabilization. It can be noisy underfoot or tires, uncomfortable for bare feet, and may require more frequent top-ups after heavy rain or runoff common in East Texas. For driveways, consider a crushed stone base or a stabilizing grid if you want pea gravel on top.

A full-size pickup bed can physically hold about 1 cubic yard of gravel, but 1 cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 2,200 to 2,600 lb and may exceed your truck's payload capacity. Check your truck's payload rating before loading—overloading is unsafe and illegal. For most homeowners in Harrison County, delivery by dump truck from Hello Gravel is a safer and more convenient option.

Harrison County's East Texas climate and clay soils mean you should pick gravel that drains well and resists rutting; angular crushed stone or larger base gravel is better for driveways than fine, round gravels alone. Areas near Caddo Lake or low spots may need more base and better drainage to avoid washouts in heavy rain. Tell our team about site conditions so we can recommend the right mix and depth for long-term performance.

Yes, you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, and drivers in Harrison County may perform it at their discretion if conditions and safety allow. Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services; drivers will assess driveway slope, obstacles, and access on arrival. If spreading is critical, mention it on your order notes and consider hiring a local contractor for guaranteed spreading and compaction.

Measure the length and width of the area, decide on the depth in inches, then use this formula: cubic yards = (length ft x width ft x depth in) / 324. Round up to allow for compaction and waste, then convert cubic yards to tons using local density (ask Hello Gravel for a material-specific conversion). If you prefer, use our online material calculator or contact our sales team with your dimensions for help.

Decorative gravels like pea gravel, river rock, and colored crushed stone are commonly available from suppliers serving Harrison County and work well for garden paths, beds, and accents. Expect regional variations in color and texture because we source locally; specify color preferences in your order notes. For high-traffic areas choose a harder crushed gravel or add a base course to prevent migration and rutting.
