HomeGuide gravel price guide.
HomeGuide puts delivery at $10 to $25 per ton, says a 10-wheel dump truck carries 12 to 20 tons (about 8 to 10 yards), and lists gravel spreading at $12 per yard or $46 per hour.
Working it out
Layer cost = tons × price per ton.
Example: a 50 × 12 ft driveway with 4 inches of crusher run under 2 inches of No. 57 stone, plus 10%, takes 8.15 cubic yards (12.2 tons) of crusher run and 4.07 cubic yards (5.25 tons) of No. 57.
At the middle of HomeGuide's ranges ($29 per ton for crusher run and $30 per ton for crushed stone), that example comes to about $512 in material.
