Question 1

What quantity of gravel is needed?

Accepted Answer

Gravel coverage is based on both the size of the space and the depth of the layer. At 2-inch deep, one ton will cover approximately 100 square feet. Plan on 4 to 6 inches for a driveway. For a project-specific total, try our free gravel calculator. Enter the project's dimensions and depth, and it will calculate the tons required.

Question 2

How much can I purchase?

Accepted Answer

Order as little as a single ton for a patio or garden path, or select multi-ton quantities for driveway and construction projects. At 2-inch depth, one ton of gravel will cover about 100 square feet. To estimate your needed amount, try the gravel calculator, or call (505) 240-8790 for help with the calculation.

Question 3

What does gravel delivery involve?

Accepted Answer

A dump truck brings every order to your property. You can designate an accessible placement area, such as a driveway, yard, or another suitable spot. To unload bulk aggregate, the truck reverses to the drop point and lifts its bed, leaving a pile of material. Afterward, distribute it with a rake or shovel, or use a skid steer when covering a larger area.

Question 4

Must I be home when the material arrives?

Accepted Answer

Delivery usually does not require you to be home. Before the scheduled date, mark the intended drop area clearly. Cones, flags, or stakes can show the driver where to unload. The driver may call if access is blocked or the location is unclear. Provide any delivery directions or access concerns when placing the order so they can be given to the driver.

Question 5

When will my delivery arrive?

Accepted Answer

Delivery timing depends on product availability and your location, with most orders delivered as fast as 2 business days. Metro locations and places close to major supplier hubs can arrive sooner, while rural or remote addresses can take a little longer. Following your order, a confirmation email will provide an estimated delivery window. Contact us before ordering if the material is needed by a certain date.

Question 6

Which gravel should I use for a driveway?

Accepted Answer

For a driveway, choose crushed stone or crusher run, also known as dense grade aggregate. The rough, angular pieces compact and lock together for a stable surface under vehicle traffic. Driveway materials commonly include 3/4-inch crushed stone and 1/2-inch crusher run. Smooth, rounded products such as pea gravel can move under tires and do not compact as effectively. View the product catalog for choices available in your area.

Question 7

How do pea gravel and crushed stone compare?

Accepted Answer

Made of naturally rounded, smooth stones, pea gravel is usually 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. Its comfortable surface and appearance make it useful for walkways, garden beds, dog runs, and decorative landscaping. Crushed stone is made by mechanically breaking larger rock, leaving angular edges that compact and interlock. That makes it more suitable for foundations, driveways, drainage, and structural work. Select crushed stone where material must remain in place and support weight. Use pea gravel in decorative or low-traffic spaces.

Question 8

Is delivery available at my address?

Accepted Answer

New Mexico delivery availability is determined by the address you provide at checkout, including addresses in cities, suburbs, and many rural areas. The checkout system will show whether service reaches your location. For locations far from established service areas, call (505) 240-8790 so availability can be checked.

Question 9

What happens when my gravel amount is too high or too low?

Accepted Answer

Excess material stays on the property after delivery because it cannot be picked up. It can be used later to fill low spots, edge garden areas, or refresh walkways. If the quantity falls short, place a new order for another delivery. Before ordering, check your estimate with the gravel calculator. Ordering about 10% above the calculated amount helps allow for ground-level variation and compaction.

Question 10

Can one order include multiple products?

Accepted Answer

Orders are limited to one product type at this time. Since the supplier sends material by dump truck, different products cannot be mixed during transit. For a project requiring several materials, such as crushed stone beneath a driveway and pea gravel on a walkway, submit separate orders. Free delivery applies to each order, so multiple deliveries have no additional cost.

Question 11

What determines the price?

Accepted Answer

The material selected, amount ordered, and delivery location determine pricing, so costs can differ by region. Prices shown on the website include free delivery.

Question 12

Which payment types are accepted?

Accepted Answer

For online orders, payment can be made with major debit or credit cards, including Discover, American Express, Mastercard, and Visa. Payments are processed through our encrypted checkout. Cash, checks, and purchase orders are not accepted for online orders at this time. If you have special payment needs for a large commercial order, call (505) 240-8790 to discuss options.

Question 13

What are the refund terms?

Accepted Answer

A full refund can be issued if an order is canceled before it has been dispatched. Refunds are generally unavailable after bulk material is loaded for delivery or has arrived at the property, since aggregates cannot be returned. If the order contains the wrong material or has a significant shortage, contact us promptly at (505) 240-8790 so we can address the issue. Read the refund policy page for complete details.

Question 14

How can I estimate gravel for my project?

Accepted Answer

Start by measuring the area's length, width, and desired depth. Multiply those measurements to find cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Because one cubic yard of gravel weighs approximately 1.4 tons, multiply the cubic-yard total by 1.4 to determine tonnage. Or use the free gravel calculator to handle the calculation. Enter the measurements to find the required tons and cost.

Question 15

Which gravel sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Stone size refers to the diameter of each piece. Standard options include 1/4-inch (pea gravel), 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, 1-inch, 1-1/2 inch, and 2-inch stone. Fine material such as pea gravel works well for decorative areas, patios, and walkways. For driveways, parking spaces, and everyday landscaping, 3/4-inch crushed stone is a common medium-size choice. Drainage, erosion control, and French drains often use 1-1/2 inch and 2-inch stone. See the product page for sizes and material types offered for delivery near you.
