Cost for a full dump truck depends on truck size and per-ton price; tri-axle trucks commonly carry about 10 to 14 tons of gravel. Multiply the per-ton cost by the truck load and add any delivery fee, so a rough delivered range might be several hundred to roughly a few thousand dollars depending on material and quantity. Contact Hello Gravel with your zip code for a precise quote and scheduled delivery options.

A tri-axle load (about 10 to 14 tons) will cover roughly 1,100 to 1,600 square feet at a 2-inch depth, and roughly 550 to 800 square feet at a 4-inch depth, depending on the gravel type and compaction. Actual coverage varies with stone size and how tightly it is compacted, so use these numbers as estimates. We recommend ordering a little extra to allow for grading, settling, and waste.

One ton of typical gravel covers about 100 to 120 square feet at 2 inches depth and about 50 to 60 square feet at 4 inches depth. Coverage depends on material density and particle size, so lighter or flakier materials will cover more area while denser materials cover less. For project planning, round up to account for compaction and grading.

#57 gravel is a common aggregate with pieces roughly 1/2 to 1 inch in size; it offers good drainage and a stable surface when compacted. It is frequently used as a driveway top layer in arid climates like Surprise because it sheds water, resists washing, and compacts well with a binder if needed. Regional color and texture can vary, so request local samples or note color preferences at checkout.

Pick colors that complement your home exterior and local landscape; warm tans and rust tones work well with desert palettes while grays offer a modern contrast. Remember that natural materials vary regionally and sunlight can make colors look lighter over time in Arizona sun. Add color preferences in the Order Notes at checkout and ask for local photos if exact appearance matters.

Gravel often refers to naturally rounded stones, while crushed rock is mechanically crushed and has sharper, angular edges. Crushed rock locks together better and compacts more tightly, which often makes it more stable for driveways, while rounded gravel may be looser and move under tires. Your choice depends on desired appearance, budget, and whether you plan to compact or use a binder layer.

Material costs vary by type and local supply, but natural rounded gravel is often slightly cheaper per ton than crushed stone; however crushed stone can provide better compaction and longevity. Delivery fees, minimum orders, and available local suppliers also influence total cost, so compare delivered quotes for the exact material you want. Hello Gravel can show local options and transparent pricing for your zip code.

The most cost-effective option is to order the minimum amount you need and compare delivered quotes from local suppliers; Hello Gravel often offers transparent pricing and free delivery in many areas. If you have a truck and the supplier allows customer pickup, picking up by truck can avoid delivery fees but check the supplier's policies and minimums. Always factor in time, fuel, and loading labor when comparing pickup versus delivery.

Surprise's desert climate means UV exposure, heat, and occasional heavy rain events are factors; choose materials that resist fading and allow quick drainage. Finer materials can blow or wash away in some areas, so consider coarser sizes or binders for high-traffic driveways. Local sourcing also means color and mineral content will reflect regional geology, so ask for local samples when color or performance is important.

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