Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Columbus, KS

Prices vary by material, supplier, delivery distance, and order size, so there is no single per-ton price. Local factors in Columbus can affect cost; the best way to get an accurate number is to enter your zip code on our site or request a quote. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees or next-day options can change the final price.

Weight per cubic yard depends on the material because density varies; a common rule of thumb is roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard for many aggregates. That means one ton is about 0.6 to 0.9 cubic yards. For pricing, cost is usually shown per ton or per cubic yard on your quote, and comparing both helps account for material density differences.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 square feet. Use the formula cubic yards = (square feet x depth inches) / 324 to estimate volume: at 2" depth you’d need about 2.5 cubic yards, at 3" about 3.7 cubic yards, and at 4" about 4.9 cubic yards. Convert to tons by using your material's density (a mid-range estimate is 1.4 tons per cubic yard), or use our online calculator and sales team for a precise estimate.

Coverage depends on depth and material density. As a rough guide, one ton will cover about 100–120 square feet at a 2" depth, and about 50–60 square feet at 4" depth for typical aggregates. For an exact number, calculate cubic yards needed for your project then convert using the specific material density on your quote.

Two inches is usually too thin for a long-lasting driveway that will support vehicles; it can work for light-use paths or a decorative top layer over a well-prepared base. For driveways, 3–4 inches compacted is typical for small vehicles, and 4–6 inches or more is recommended for heavier loads or weaker subsoil. Also consider a compacted base layer and proper drainage for best results in Columbus' climate.

Capacities vary by truck, but many tri-axle dump trucks commonly used for deliveries hold about 10–12 cubic yards, which translates to roughly 12–20 tons depending on material density. Hello Gravel typically delivers with professional dump fleets and will list the delivery method and size on your quote. If you need a specific truck size or larger volumes, contact our team to coordinate.

Buying in bulk from local suppliers and arranging a single delivery is usually the most economical approach because it reduces per-ton pricing and delivery overhead. Picking a nearby delivery date, ordering the right amount to avoid returns, and choosing materials that match the job reduces waste and extra costs. Compare per-ton price plus delivery fees and consider self-spreading versus hiring additional labor when estimating total cost.

Standard delivery is scheduled at least 2 business days out, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Materials are delivered by contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle), and drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout but note it is not guaranteed. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout and check availability by entering your zip code.

Match the material's size and compaction properties to the project: a compactable base for driveways and patios, finer material for leveling, and coarse material for drainage or erosion control. Consider local factors such as soil type, slope, and Columbus weather, and remember regional sourcing can change texture and color. If you’re unsure, use our material calculator, take photos of the site, or contact our sales team for guidance.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
