Delivery is charged per trip, so ordering a full load is almost always cheaper per ton than two partial loads.
Material is only part of the bill. This calculator adds delivery — which is charged per load, not per ton — plus optional spreading and grading labor, so you get the number that actually lands on the invoice.
In 2026 most bulk gravel runs $22 to $70 per ton delivered. Crusher run is cheapest at $22–$40, #57 stone $30–$55, pea gravel $35–$70, and decorative river rock $55–$130.
Expect $60 to $150 per load as a flat haul fee, plus more if you are outside the supplier's normal radius. Because it is charged per trip, ordering one full load beats two half loads.
Machine spreading and grading typically adds $1.00 to $1.50 per square foot. A full install with excavation, fabric, and compaction runs $2.50 to $3.00 per square foot.
