Question 1

How much gravel will I need?

Accepted Answer

Coverage area and planned material depth determine the gravel quantity. At a 2-inch depth, one ton of gravel covers approximately 100 square feet. Driveway projects commonly need 4 to 6 inches of material. For an estimate, use the free gravel calculator. Enter your project measurements for length, width, and depth to calculate the tons to order.

Question 2

How much material may I order?

Accepted Answer

For a small patio or garden path, you can order a single ton, while driveways and construction projects may require full multi-ton loads. One ton covers roughly 100 square feet when spread 2-inch deep. To determine your quantity, try the gravel calculator or contact us through our contact form for help.

Question 3

How does gravel delivery work?

Accepted Answer

Your material is brought to the property by dump truck. Tell the driver which accessible location to use, such as the driveway, yard, or another designated area. This method moves bulk aggregate efficiently and cost-effectively. The truck reverses into the drop area, raises its bed, and leaves the load in a pile. Afterward, spread smaller areas with a rake or shovel; for larger spaces, equipment like a skid steer can be used.

Question 4

Must I be home when the material arrives?

Accepted Answer

Because the drop location should be clear, you usually do not need to be there when material arrives. Before the delivery date, mark the intended placement area with cones, flags, or stakes. If access is blocked or the driver cannot identify the drop spot, they may call you. Share any site-access concerns or placement instructions when submitting your order so the driver receives them.

Question 5

When will my delivery arrive?

Accepted Answer

Product availability and delivery location affect scheduling, and most orders can arrive as fast as 2 business days. Delivery may be sooner near metro locations or major supplier hubs, while remote and rural addresses can require more time. An estimated delivery window will be included in the confirmation email after your order is placed. Contact us in advance if material is needed by a particular date.

Question 6

Which gravel works well for driveways?

Accepted Answer

For vehicle traffic, crushed stone or crusher run, known as dense grade aggregate, provides a stable driveway surface. The rough, angular pieces compact and hold together well. Driveway material often includes 3/4-inch crushed stone or 1/2-inch crusher run. Skip smooth, rounded options such as pea gravel on driveways because tires can displace them and they compact less effectively. View the product catalog for materials offered near you.

Question 7

How do pea gravel and crushed stone differ?

Accepted Answer

Pea gravel is made of small, naturally rounded, smooth stones, usually 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. Its comfortable surface and appearance make it useful for garden beds, dog runs, walkways, and decorative landscaping. Crushed stone is created by crushing larger rock, leaving angular edges that interlock and compact. That makes it more suitable for foundations, drainage, driveways, and structural uses. Choose crushed stone where the material needs to stay put and support weight. Pea gravel fits decorative spaces and areas with light traffic.

Question 8

Do you deliver where I live?

Accepted Answer

Kansas delivery coverage includes cities, suburban areas, and many rural addresses. Enter the delivery address at checkout to see if service is available for your location. If your site is especially remote and coverage is uncertain, use our contact form to ask about availability.

Question 9

What happens if I order too much or too little?

Accepted Answer

Any material left over will stay at your property, since excess aggregate cannot be picked up after delivery. It may still be useful for filling low spots, edging garden areas, or renewing walkways. If the quantity is not enough, place another order and a second delivery will be arranged. Use the gravel calculator before ordering to help avoid either result. Ordering about 10% above the calculated quantity can allow for differences in ground level and compaction.

Question 10

Can I order more than one product together?

Accepted Answer

A single order can contain only one product type at this time. Because dump trucks carry materials directly from the supplier, combining products during transit is not feasible. For more than one material, such as crushed stone beneath a driveway and pea gravel on a walkway, place separate orders. Free delivery applies to each order, so multiple deliveries do not add cost.

Question 11

How are prices calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your price is based on material type, order quantity, and delivery location, so costs may vary by region. All 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. Transactions are handled through our encrypted checkout system. Cash, checks, and purchase orders are not accepted for online orders. To discuss payment options for a large commercial order with special requirements, reach us through our contact form.

Question 13

What is the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Cancel an order before it is dispatched for delivery to 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. For problems such as incorrect material or a significant shortage, contact us promptly through our contact form. Review the refund policy page for full details.

Question 14

How can I figure gravel for my project?

Accepted Answer

Begin by measuring the area's length, width, and intended depth. Multiply those measurements to determine cubic feet, then divide by 27 to change the result to cubic yards. A cubic yard of gravel weighs approximately 1.4 tons, so multiply the cubic-yard total by 1.4 for tonnage. To avoid calculating by hand, use the free gravel calculator. Enter the measurements to view the tons required and the cost.

Question 15

What gravel sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Stone size is identified by the diameter of each piece. Common options are 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 material work for decorative spaces, patios, and walkways. A medium option, 3/4-inch crushed stone, is commonly used for driveways, parking areas, and landscape work. For French drains, drainage, and erosion control, 1-1/2 inch and 2-inch stone are often selected. See the product page for material types and sizes available for delivery near you.
