Question 1

What quantity of gravel do I need?

Accepted Answer

Start with the size of the space and the depth you plan to install. At 2-inch deep, 100 square feet generally takes one ton of gravel. A driveway usually needs 4 to 6 inches, especially where deep frost and freeze-thaw cycling affect the base. For a more precise total, use the free material calculator: enter your project's dimensions and depth to see the tons to order.

Question 2

How much material may I order?

Accepted Answer

You can order from a single ton for a garden path or small patio to multi-ton loads for driveway and construction projects. A ton of gravel covers roughly 100 square feet when installed at a 2-inch depth. For help with your estimate, use the gravel calculator or reach out through our contact form.

Question 3

What happens during gravel delivery?

Accepted Answer

Your material arrives by dump truck at your property. The driver unloads it in an accessible driveway, yard, or other location you designate. Bulk aggregate is transported efficiently by dump truck: the truck reverses to the drop spot, lifts its bed, and places the material in a pile. You can move the pile with a rake or shovel, or use a skid steer when covering a larger area.

Question 4

Must I be present for delivery?

Accepted Answer

You usually do not have to be present when the order arrives. Before the delivery date, mark the intended drop spot clearly with stakes, flags, or cones. If access is not possible or the driver cannot determine where to unload, you may be contacted by phone. Share any access concerns or delivery directions when ordering so they can be passed along to the driver.

Question 5

When will my delivery arrive?

Accepted Answer

Delivery timing depends on product availability and where the order is going, though most orders arrive in as fast as 2 business days. Metro addresses and locations near supplier hubs may be served sooner, while rural or remote addresses can need a little more time. After ordering, you will receive a confirmation email with an estimated delivery window. If you need material for a particular date, contact us ahead of time and we will do our best to accommodate your timeline.

Question 6

Which gravel should I use for a driveway?

Accepted Answer

Use crusher run or crushed stone for a driveway. Their angular, textured pieces compact and interlock to create a firm surface for vehicle use. Driveway options often include 3/4-inch crushed stone or 1/2-inch crusher run, also known as dense grade aggregate. Smooth, rounded material such as pea gravel is not a good driveway choice because tires can move it around and it does not compact as well. View the product catalog for materials offered near you.

Question 7

How do pea gravel and crushed stone compare?

Accepted Answer

Small, naturally rounded stones make up pea gravel, usually measuring 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. It works well in garden beds, dog runs, walkways, and decorative landscapes because it looks good and feels comfortable underfoot. Crushed stone is made by breaking larger rock, which leaves angular edges. Those edges compact and lock together, making crushed stone suitable for drainage, foundations, driveways, and structural work. Use crushed stone where weight and staying power matter. Pea gravel suits decorative spaces and low-traffic areas.

Question 8

Is delivery available where I live?

Accepted Answer

Nebraska delivery is available across metro, suburban, and many rural areas. Enter the delivery address at checkout, and the system will confirm service to that location. If you are unsure about availability in a remote area, contact us through our contact form to check coverage.

Question 9

What happens if I order too much or too little?

Accepted Answer

Any material left after delivery stays at the property, as excess aggregate cannot be picked up once delivered. Put it to use in low areas, along garden edges, or on walkways. If your order falls short, place a separate order for another delivery. Use the gravel calculator before placing an order to help avoid both outcomes. It can also help to add about 10% to the calculated amount for compaction and uneven ground.

Question 10

May I combine products in a single order?

Accepted Answer

Orders currently include one type of product only. Materials travel by dump truck from the supplier, so different products cannot be combined in transit. For work that calls for several materials, such as crushed stone under a driveway with pea gravel on a walkway, submit an order for each product. Free delivery applies to every order, with no added charge for multiple deliveries.

Question 11

How are prices set?

Accepted Answer

Your price is determined by the material selected, the amount ordered, and the delivery location, so it can differ from one region to another. Website prices include free delivery, and the amount shown is the amount paid.

Question 12

Which payment options are accepted?

Accepted Answer

We take major debit and credit cards, including Discover, Visa, American Express, and Mastercard. Payment is handled securely through our encrypted checkout system. Online orders cannot currently be paid by cash, checks, or purchase orders. For payment requirements on a large commercial order, reach out through our contact form to discuss options.

Question 13

What are the refund rules?

Accepted Answer

An order may be cancelled with a full refund before it has been dispatched for delivery. After materials are loaded for delivery or delivered to your property, refunds are generally unavailable because bulk aggregates cannot be returned. If the material is incorrect or there is a significant shortage, contact us promptly through our contact form. Review the refund policy page for full details.

Question 14

How can I estimate gravel for my project?

Accepted Answer

Measure the area's length, width, and planned depth to determine your gravel needs. Multiply all three measurements for the volume in cubic feet, and divide that result by 27 to get cubic yards. Gravel weighs approximately 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so multiply the cubic-yard amount by 1.4 for the tonnage. Instead of doing the calculation yourself, try the free gravel calculator. Enter the measurements to view the tons needed and the cost.

Question 15

Which gravel sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Stone size refers to 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. Smaller material, including pea gravel, is often used for decorative work, patios, and walkways. For general landscaping, parking areas, and driveways, 3/4-inch crushed stone is a frequently used medium size. Larger 1-1/2 inch and 2-inch stone are often chosen for French drains, erosion control, and drainage. Visit the product page to review the sizes and material types available near you.
