Gravel in Drexel Heights, AZ

In Drexel Heights prices vary by material and supplier, but expect a typical range of about $25 to $75 per ton depending on type (crushed rock, decomposed granite, river rock). Decorative river rock and specialty mixes sit at the higher end, while standard crushed stone or base gravel are at the lower end. Regional sourcing, load size, and delivery fees can change the final per-ton price.

A single tri-axle truckload usually carries roughly 10 to 14 tons of loose gravel; material cost plus delivery typically runs from a few hundred to several hundred dollars. For example, 10 tons at a mid-range price plus a local delivery fee can land in the $400 to $900 range total. Final cost depends on material type, driveway access, distance from the supplier, and any special unloading needs.

A full-size pickup can carry about one ton only if its payload capacity allows; always check your truck's payload rating before loading. Hello Gravel’s platform has a 3-ton minimum order for delivery, but some local supplier yards may allow smaller pickup sales—contact the supplier directly if you plan to haul material yourself. Keep safety and legal payload limits in mind to avoid damage or fines.

Hello Gravel’s standard minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery timing is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is sometimes available for an extra fee if ordered before noon CST. Delivery fees in the Arizona Region are often free or modest for typical residential drops but can range up to $100-$200 when access or distance is an issue. Suppliers commonly offer per-ton discounts on larger bulk orders (for example for 20+ tons), so ask for a volume quote if you need big quantities.

For driveways in this arid area, 3/4" crushed rock or road base are common choices for strength and compaction; decomposed granite (DG) is popular for xeriscape paths and patios because it compacts well and suits desert landscapes. Decorative river rock or washed pea gravel is more expensive and is mainly used for accents or drainage features. Generally, crushed base is the most economical, DG is mid-priced, and decorative rounded rock commands the highest per-ton price.

Use the volume formula: Area (sq ft) x depth (inches) / 324 = cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to 1.5 to get tons depending on material density. As a rule of thumb, at a 2" depth one ton covers about 110–120 sq ft; for a 10'x50' driveway (500 sq ft) at 2" depth you would need roughly 4 to 5 tons. Always round up and allow a small extra amount for compaction, slopes, and settlement.

Permit needs vary: Drexel Heights is in unincorporated Pima County, so major changes to curbs, drive approaches, or stormwater flow can trigger county permits. Many properties are also subject to HOA rules, which often restrict driveway materials and appearance. Check with your HOA and Pima County planning or building department before large deliveries or surface changes to ensure compliance.

Some local suppliers and contractors available through the Hello Gravel network offer installation services, but availability varies by supplier and job scope. Typical additional costs depend on size and difficulty; simple tailgate spreading might be inexpensive or performed at the driver's discretion, while professional grading and compaction can add several hundred to a few thousand dollars on larger jobs. Ask for itemized quotes for labor, equipment, and any site prep so you can compare options.

Same-week availability depends on truck and supplier stock, current order volume, and local conditions such as monsoon weather or road restrictions. Lead time is influenced by material type (decorative rock may be less available), supplier schedules, and whether a special delivery window or spreading service is requested. To improve chances of quick delivery, place orders early in the week and contact Hello Gravel to confirm supplier and truck availability for your zip code.

Some suppliers or associated contractors will remove and haul away old material for an additional fee, but this is not always included and depends on the supplier. Costs vary widely based on volume, hauling distance, and whether there is contamination or heavy debris; small jobs might run a few hundred dollars while larger removals can cost more. Request a removal estimate up front and consider renting a local debris dumpster if you have substantial material to remove.

Hello Gravel typically uses contracted tri-axle dump trucks for residential deliveries; a common tri-axle load is about 10 to 14 tons of loose gravel, though capacity varies with material density and local hauling rules. Smaller single-axle dump trucks or roll-offs may be used for tight access or specialty jobs but can carry less material. We’ll confirm truck type and approximate tonnage when you place your order based on site access and the material chosen.

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

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.
