Gravel, Fill & Mulch Calculator

Bulk Material Ordering in Grayson County

Gravel, fill dirt, and crushed stone are typically delivered by the ton or cubic yard. Local quarries and landscape suppliers in the Grayson County area price material by the ton for dense materials like stone and by the yard for lighter materials like mulch. Knowing your approximate quantity before calling helps you get a faster, more accurate quote.

Common Applications

• Driveway base: 4–6 inches of #57 crushed stone or #304 compacted gravel for residential driveways
• Drainage beds: 6–12 inches of washed #57 stone around perforated drain pipe
• Deck footings: 4 inches of gravel under all concrete footings for drainage
• Raised beds / landscaping: 3–4 inches of mulch or topsoil
• Site grading: Fill dirt to establish positive drainage away from foundations

For gravel driveways near Nolin Lake and Rough River Lake, UIR recommends a compacted #304 base layer with a #57 surface layer for all-weather access. The base layer thickness depends on soil conditions — soft clay soils need 8–10 inches of compacted base, while firmer soils can get by with 4–6 inches.

For site work as part of a larger project — deck installation, pole barn construction, or new construction — UIR includes all grading and base preparation in the project estimate. Contact UIR for a complete project estimate in Grayson County.
