Question 1

What quantity of gravel is needed?

Accepted Answer

Coverage and planned depth determine the gravel quantity. As a general guide, one ton covers approximately 100 square feet when spread 2-inch deep. A driveway commonly needs 4 to 6 inches of material. For a closer estimate, use the free gravel calculator. Enter your project's length, width, and depth to see the tons to order.

Question 2

What order quantity is available?

Accepted Answer

Order anything from one ton for a modest patio or garden path to multi-ton loads for driveway and construction projects. At 2-inch deep, one ton covers about 100 square feet. If you need help estimating your project, try the gravel calculator or reach us through our contact form.

Question 3

How does gravel arrive?

Accepted Answer

Bulk aggregate orders arrive by dump truck at your property. The driver places the load at an accessible spot you choose, such as a driveway, yard, or other designated area. This method moves bulk material efficiently and affordably. At the drop point, the truck backs in, raises its bed, and unloads the aggregate into a pile. Afterward, spread the pile manually using a rake or shovel, or use equipment such as a skid steer for larger spaces.

Question 4

Must I be home when materials arrive?

Accepted Answer

You usually do not need to be present because the drop area can be marked before delivery. Use cones, flags, or stakes to show the requested location. The driver may phone you if the property cannot be reached or the drop point is unclear. Provide any access concerns or special instructions when placing the order so they can be shared with the driver.

Question 5

When will delivery arrive?

Accepted Answer

Location and product availability determine delivery timing, with most orders arriving as fast as 2 business days. Addresses in metro areas or near major supplier hubs can receive material sooner, while rural or remote locations may need slightly more time. An estimated delivery window will be included in the confirmation email after your order is placed. Contact us before ordering if you need material by a particular date, and we will do our best to accommodate your timeline.

Question 6

Which gravel works well for driveways?

Accepted Answer

For a driveway, use crushed stone or crusher run, also called dense grade aggregate, because the angular, coarse pieces compact and interlock for a stable driving surface. Common driveway selections are 3/4-inch crushed stone and 1/2-inch crusher run. Do not use smooth, rounded materials such as pea gravel in driveways, since tires can move them and they do not compact as effectively. View the product catalog for materials offered in your area.

Question 7

How do pea gravel and crushed stone differ?

Accepted Answer

Pea gravel is made up of smooth, rounded stones that are generally 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. Its comfortable surface and decorative look suit walkways, garden beds, dog runs, and landscape areas. Crushed stone is created by breaking larger rock, which gives it angular edges. Those edges lock together when compacted, so it is used for driveways, foundations, drainage, and other structural work. Select crushed stone for areas that need to hold their position and carry weight. Pea gravel is a fit for decorative or lightly used spaces.

Question 8

Is delivery available in my area?

Accepted Answer

Delivery is available across Hawaii, including major metro areas, suburbs, and many rural locations. Enter your address at checkout to see if delivery is available there. If your location is especially remote and you need to confirm coverage, use our contact form and we will check availability.

Question 9

What happens if my gravel order is over or under?

Accepted Answer

Any material left over from an order stays on the property, since excess aggregate cannot be collected after delivery. Leftover gravel can be used to fill low spots, make garden borders, or refresh walkways. If the order is short, place a new order and we will arrange another delivery. Before ordering, use the gravel calculator to help prevent either situation. Ordering about 10% above the calculated amount can also allow for ground-level differences and compaction.

Question 10

Can products be combined in one order?

Accepted Answer

Each order currently contains one product type because dump-truck deliveries cannot combine separate materials in transit. Order each material separately if your project calls for more than one, such as crushed stone for a driveway base and pea gravel for a walkway. Free delivery applies to every order, so multiple deliveries do not add a delivery cost.

Question 11

How are prices set?

Accepted Answer

Your price is determined by the material selected, the amount you order, and the delivery location. Costs may differ across regions. Website prices include free delivery.

Question 12

Which payment methods are accepted?

Accepted Answer

Online payment can be made with major credit and debit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Payments are processed through our encrypted checkout system. Cash, checks, and purchase orders are not accepted for online orders. For payment needs related to a large commercial order, contact us through our contact form to discuss options.

Question 13

What is the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

An order can be canceled for a full refund before it has been dispatched for delivery. Refunds are generally unavailable once material has been loaded for delivery or delivered to your property, as bulk aggregates cannot be returned. If your order has a problem, including incorrect material or a significant shortage, contact us promptly through our contact form and we will work with you to make it right. Read the refund policy page for full details.

Question 14

How can I figure gravel quantity for my project?

Accepted Answer

Measure the length, width, and intended depth of the area first. Multiply those measurements to determine cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert that total into cubic yards. A cubic yard of gravel weighs approximately 1.4 tons, so multiply the cubic-yard amount by 1.4 to find the tonnage. You can also use the free gravel calculator instead of calculating by hand. Enter the measurements to see the tons to order and the cost.

Question 15

Which gravel sizes are offered?

Accepted Answer

Stone diameter is used to classify gravel sizes. Standard options include 1/4-inch (pea gravel), 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, 1-inch, 1-1/2 inch, and 2-inch stone. Pea gravel and other smaller sizes are commonly used in walkways, patios, and decorative areas. For driveways, parking areas, and general landscaping, 3/4-inch crushed stone is a common medium-size choice. Drainage, erosion control, and French drains often use larger 1-1/2 inch and 2-inch stone. See the product page for sizes and material types available for delivery in your area.
