Question 1

What quantity of gravel do I need?

Accepted Answer

Project coverage is based on the space being covered and the depth of material. One ton of gravel generally covers approximately 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth. A driveway usually needs 4 to 6 inches of material. Use the free gravel calculator for an accurate estimate. Enter the project dimensions and depth to find the tons needed.

Question 2

What amount of material can I buy?

Accepted Answer

Order a single ton for a patio or garden path, or choose full multi-ton loads for driveway and construction jobs. At a 2-inch depth, 100 square feet is covered by one ton of gravel. For help estimating your project, try our gravel calculator or call (601) 706-3281.

Question 3

How do gravel deliveries work?

Accepted Answer

A dump truck brings every order straight to your property. Choose an accessible spot, such as your driveway, yard, or another area, for the driver to unload the material. Bulk aggregate moves efficiently by dump truck. At the drop point, the truck backs in, lifts its bed, and leaves the material in a pile. Use a rake or shovel to spread it by hand, or use equipment such as a skid steer for bigger areas.

Question 4

Must I be home when the material arrives?

Accepted Answer

You usually do not have to be home when the delivery arrives. Before the delivery date, mark the intended drop area clearly. Cones, flags, or stakes are often used to show the dump location. If access is blocked or the placement area is unclear, the driver may call you. Share any access issues or delivery directions when ordering so they can be coordinated with the driver.

Question 5

When will my delivery arrive?

Accepted Answer

Location and product availability affect delivery timing, but most orders arrive as fast as 2 business days. Delivery may be sooner near metro areas or major supplier hubs, while rural or remote addresses can take slightly longer. After ordering, you will get a confirmation email with an estimated delivery window. Contact us ahead of time if you need material by a certain date to discuss your timeline.

Question 6

Which gravel should I use for a driveway?

Accepted Answer

For a driveway, choose crusher run, also called dense grade aggregate, or crushed stone. The angular, rough pieces fit together and compact into a stable surface for vehicle traffic. Typical driveway sizes include 3/4-inch crushed stone and 1/2-inch crusher run. Skip smooth, rounded pea gravel for driveways because tires can displace it and it does not compact as well. See our product catalog for options in your area.

Question 7

How do pea gravel and crushed stone compare?

Accepted Answer

Pea gravel is made of small, naturally rounded, smooth stones, usually 1/4 to 1/2 inch across. Its comfortable surface and appearance suit walkways, garden beds, dog runs, and decorative landscaping. Crushed stone comes from larger rock that has been mechanically broken, leaving angular edges. It compacts and interlocks, so it is suited to driveways, foundations, drainage, and structural work. Pick based on the job: use crushed stone where the surface must stay put and carry weight, and use pea gravel for decorative or lightly traveled spaces.

Question 8

Can you deliver where I live?

Accepted Answer

Delivery is offered throughout Mississippi, including metro, suburban, and many rural areas. Enter your address at checkout to see if delivery is available there. For a remote location, call (601) 706-3281 to ask about availability.

Question 9

What happens if I buy too much or too little gravel?

Accepted Answer

Any extra material stays on your property after delivery, and we cannot collect it. Use leftover gravel to fill low spots, create garden borders, or refresh walkways. If you need more material, place another order for a second delivery. Check our gravel calculator before you order to reduce the chance of either outcome. Ordering about 10% above your calculated amount helps account for changes in ground level and compaction.

Question 10

May I combine products in one order?

Accepted Answer

Each order currently includes one product type. Materials travel from the supplier by dump truck, so products cannot be combined in transit. For multiple materials, such as crushed stone for a driveway base and pea gravel for a walkway, place separate orders. Each order includes free delivery, with no additional cost for multiple deliveries.

Question 11

What determines the price?

Accepted Answer

Material type, order quantity, and delivery address determine pricing. Rates can differ across regions. Prices shown on our website include free delivery. The amount displayed is the amount paid at checkout.

Question 12

Which payment methods can I use?

Accepted Answer

Pay online using major credit or debit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Payments go through our encrypted checkout system. Online orders cannot be paid by cash, checks, or purchase orders at this time. For special payment needs on a large commercial order, call (601) 706-3281 to discuss options.

Question 13

What are the refund terms?

Accepted Answer

You may cancel an order before it has been dispatched for delivery and receive a full refund. Refunds are generally unavailable after materials are loaded for delivery or delivered to your property, since bulk aggregates cannot be returned. If you receive incorrect material or have a significant shortage, contact us right away at (601) 706-3281. See our refund policy page for full details.

Question 14

How can I figure gravel for my project?

Accepted Answer

First, measure the area's length, width, and desired depth. Multiply those figures to find the volume in cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Gravel weighs approximately 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so multiply the cubic-yard total by 1.4 to determine tonnage. Or use the free gravel calculator instead. Enter your measurements to see the number of tons to order and the cost.

Question 15

Which gravel sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Gravel sizes are generally identified by stone diameter. Common choices are 1/4-inch (pea gravel), 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, 1-inch, 1-1/2 inch, and 2-inch stone. Small material, including pea gravel, works for walkways, patios, and decorative uses. For driveways, parking areas, and general landscaping, 3/4-inch crushed stone is a popular medium size. Larger 1-1/2 inch and 2-inch stone are commonly used in drainage work, French drains, and erosion-control applications. Visit our product page for the sizes and material types available for delivery in your area.
