Question 1

What amount of gravel do I need?

Accepted Answer

Coverage depends on the dimensions of the space and the depth of material selected. As a general guide, one ton of gravel will cover approximately 100 square feet when spread 2-inch deep. Driveways are typically built with 4 to 6 inches of material. For a more precise quantity, use the free gravel calculator. Enter your project length, width, and depth to determine the tons to order.

Question 2

How much material may I order?

Accepted Answer

Order anything from 1 ton for a garden path or small patio to multi-ton quantities for construction projects and driveways. At a depth of 2-inch, 1 ton of gravel covers about 100 square feet. For help estimating your needs, try the gravel calculator or call (385) 360-1334 to discuss the project.

Question 3

How does gravel delivery work?

Accepted Answer

Orders arrive by dump truck at your property. Designate an accessible driveway, yard, or other placement area, and the driver will unload the material there. The truck reverses to the drop area, lifts its bed, and releases the load as a pile. A rake or shovel can be used to distribute material by hand; larger areas may require equipment such as a skid steer.

Question 4

Must I be home when my order arrives?

Accepted Answer

Someone usually does not need to be present when the delivery is made. Before the delivery date, mark the requested drop area clearly with cones, flags, or stakes. If access is not possible or the intended placement is unclear, the driver may call you. Provide any access concerns or detailed delivery instructions when ordering so they can be shared with the driver.

Question 5

What is the delivery timeframe?

Accepted Answer

Depending on product availability and your location, delivery may be as fast as 2 business days. Orders near metro areas or major supplier hubs can arrive sooner, while remote and rural addresses may require slightly longer. Your confirmation email will include an estimated delivery window after the order is placed. If you need material for a specific date, contact us ahead of ordering to discuss your timeline.

Question 6

Which gravel works best for a driveway?

Accepted Answer

For a driveway, use crushed stone or crusher run, which is also called dense grade aggregate. The angular, rough pieces compact and interlock to support vehicle traffic. Typical driveway sizes include 3/4-inch crushed stone and 1/2-inch crusher run. Smooth, rounded materials such as pea gravel can shift beneath tires and do not compact as effectively. Review the product catalog for materials available in your area.

Question 7

How do pea gravel and crushed stone differ?

Accepted Answer

Pea gravel is made up of smooth, naturally rounded stones, generally 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. Its comfortable surface and finished look suit walkways, garden beds, dog runs, and decorative landscape areas. Crushed stone is made by mechanically breaking larger rock, creating angular edges that lock together when compacted. This makes it suitable for driveways, foundations, drainage, and structural uses. Select crushed stone where the surface must stay put and support weight. Pea gravel is suited to decorative spaces and areas with light traffic.

Question 8

Is delivery available in my area?

Accepted Answer

Delivery is offered statewide, including metropolitan areas, suburbs, and numerous rural destinations. Enter the delivery address at checkout to confirm service for the site. If the location is especially remote, call (385) 360-1334 to ask about availability.

Question 9

What happens if I order too much or too little?

Accepted Answer

Material left over from an order remains at the property, as excess aggregate cannot be picked up after delivery. It can be used for filling low spots, outlining garden borders, or refreshing walkways. If the order is too small, place another order for a second delivery. Before ordering, use the gravel calculator to reduce the chance of either outcome. Ordering about 10% more than the calculated quantity can allow for differences in ground level and compaction.

Question 10

May I combine products in one order?

Accepted Answer

Orders currently contain one material type. Since materials travel by dump truck from the supplier, different products cannot be mixed during transport. If your project calls for more than one material, such as driveway-base crushed stone and pea gravel for a walkway, submit separate orders. Free delivery applies to each order, so multiple deliveries do not create an added delivery cost.

Question 11

How are prices set?

Accepted Answer

Material type, order quantity, and delivery location are used to determine pricing, so prices may differ by region. Website prices include free delivery, and the displayed amount is the amount paid.

Question 12

Which payment methods are accepted?

Accepted Answer

For online orders, payment may be made by major credit or debit card, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Our checkout uses encryption to process payments securely. Cash, checks, and purchase orders are not accepted for online purchases at this time. To discuss payment options for a large commercial order with special requirements, call (385) 360-1334.

Question 13

What is the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

We can cancel an order and provide a full refund before it is dispatched for delivery. Refunds are generally unavailable after bulk material is loaded for delivery or reaches your property, since aggregates cannot be returned. For an order issue, such as receiving incorrect material or a significant shortage, call (385) 360-1334 right away. Details are available on our refund policy page.

Question 14

How can I calculate gravel for my project?

Accepted Answer

Measure the length, width, and intended depth of the area to be covered. Multiply these measurements to calculate cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert that figure to cubic yards. Gravel weighs approximately 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so multiply the cubic-yard amount by 1.4 to calculate tonnage. You can also use the free gravel calculator instead of calculating by hand. Enter the measurements to see the required tons and cost.

Question 15

What gravel sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Aggregate sizes are generally described by stone diameter. Available size categories commonly include 1/4-inch (pea gravel), 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, 1-inch, 1-1/2 inch, and 2-inch stone. Smaller material, including pea gravel, is used for patios, walkways, and decorative work. A medium option such as 3/4-inch crushed stone is commonly selected for driveways, parking areas, and landscape applications. For drainage, erosion control, and French drains, projects often use 1-1/2 inch or 2-inch stone. Visit the product page to view material types and sizes available for delivery in your area.
