Question 1

How much gravel will my project require?

Accepted Answer

Project coverage is determined by the area size and the depth you plan to use. One ton of gravel generally covers approximately 100 square feet when spread 2-inch deep. A driveway usually calls for 4 to 6 inches. Use the free gravel calculator for a closer estimate. Enter the project dimensions and depth, and it calculates the tons to order.

Question 2

What quantity of material can I order?

Accepted Answer

For a small patio or garden path, order a single ton. Multi-ton loads are also available for driveways and construction work. A 2-inch layer of gravel uses roughly one ton per 100 square feet. Estimate your needs with our gravel calculator, or call (701) 436-1620 for help.

Question 3

How do gravel deliveries work?

Accepted Answer

Your order arrives by dump truck at your property. Tell the driver which accessible driveway, yard, or other area to use for unloading. The truck backs into the drop spot, raises its bed, and releases the aggregate as a pile. This is an efficient, cost-effective method for moving bulk material. Spread smaller areas with a rake or shovel, or use a skid steer for larger areas.

Question 4

Being Home for Delivery

Accepted Answer

You usually do not need to be present for delivery. Mark the intended drop spot before the delivery date with cones, flags, or stakes. If access is blocked or the drop location is unclear, the driver may call you. Include any access details or delivery directions when ordering so they can be shared with the driver.

Question 5

When will my order be delivered?

Accepted Answer

Delivery for most orders can be as fast as 2 business days, depending on product availability and location. Orders near metro areas or major supplier hubs may arrive sooner. Rural and remote addresses may need slightly more time. After ordering, you will receive a confirmation email with an estimated delivery window. Contact us in advance if material is needed by a specific date, and we will do our best to accommodate your timeline.

Question 6

What gravel should I use for a driveway?

Accepted Answer

Choose crushed stone or crusher run, which is also called dense grade aggregate, for driveways. Its rough, angular pieces compact tightly and create a stable surface for vehicle traffic. Driveway options often include 3/4-inch crushed stone or 1/2-inch crusher run. Skip smooth, rounded products such as pea gravel, since tires move them around and they compact less effectively. Review the product catalog for materials offered near you.

Question 7

How do pea gravel and crushed stone compare?

Accepted Answer

Pea gravel is made of small, naturally rounded stones, commonly 1/4 to 1/2 inch across. Its smooth surface suits garden beds, walkways, dog runs, and decorative areas. Crushed stone comes from larger rock that has been mechanically broken, leaving angular edges. Those edges interlock and compact, making crushed stone a better fit for foundations, driveways, drainage, and other structural uses. Use crushed stone where material must stay put and support weight. Pea gravel works well in decorative spaces and low-traffic areas.

Question 8

Do you serve my location?

Accepted Answer

Delivery is available across North Dakota, including major metro areas, suburbs, and many rural locations. Enter your delivery address at checkout to confirm service at that location. If your address is especially remote or you are not sure about coverage, call (701) 436-1620 and we will check availability.

Question 9

What happens if my gravel quantity is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Material left over from an order remains at your property, as we cannot collect excess aggregate after delivery. Use it on another project, such as filling low spots, edging garden areas, or refreshing walkways. If you need more material, place another order for a second delivery. Check the gravel calculator before you order to reduce the chance of either issue. Ordering about 10% above your calculation can account for changes in grade and compaction.

Question 10

Can one order include several products?

Accepted Answer

Orders currently contain one material type only. Dump trucks carry the material directly from the supplier, and products cannot be combined during transport. Order each material separately if your project calls for more than one, such as crushed stone beneath a driveway and pea gravel along a walkway. Free delivery applies to every order, so multiple deliveries do not add cost.

Question 11

What determines the price?

Accepted Answer

Your total depends on the material selected, order quantity, and delivery location. Prices may differ across regions. Website prices include free delivery. The amount shown is the amount due at checkout.

Question 12

Which payment methods can I use?

Accepted Answer

For online orders, we accept major credit and debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Payments are processed securely through our encrypted checkout system. Cash, checks, and purchase orders are not accepted for online orders at this time. For special payment needs on a large commercial order, contact us at (701) 436-1620 to discuss options.

Question 13

What are the refund rules?

Accepted Answer

Cancel before an order is dispatched for delivery to receive a full refund. Bulk aggregates generally cannot be refunded after loading for delivery or delivery to your property because they cannot be returned. If your order includes incorrect material or a significant shortage, contact us promptly at (701) 436-1620. See our refund policy page for complete details.

Question 14

How can I estimate gravel for my project?

Accepted Answer

Measure the area's length, width, and intended depth. Multiply them to calculate cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert that result into cubic yards. A cubic yard of gravel weighs approximately 1.4 tons. Multiply cubic yards by 1.4 to find the tonnage. You can also use the free gravel calculator instead of calculating by hand. Enter your measurements to see the tons to order and the cost.

Question 15

Which gravel sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Aggregate sizes are commonly listed by stone diameter. Available sizes often include 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, suits walkways, patios, and decorative applications. A medium option such as 3/4-inch crushed stone is widely used for driveways, parking areas, and landscape work. Use larger 1-1/2 inch and 2-inch stone for drainage, erosion control, and French drains. Check the product page for the sizes and material types available for delivery near you.
