Gravel in East Bardstown, KY

Delivered gravel prices in East Bardstown typically fall in the range of about $35 to $65 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, or crush-and-run), supplier, and distance to the site. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and many local suppliers vary by region, so the best way to get a firm price is to enter your zip code on our site or request a quote. Prices can change with fuel and seasonal demand, so expect a range rather than a single guaranteed number.

The cheapest option depends on your project size and time: picking up small quantities may save money if you have a truck, but for typical driveways bulk delivery (3+ tons) is often more cost-effective when you factor in time and fuel. Ask suppliers about volume pricing or contractor discounts for 5+ or 10+ ton orders; Hello Gravel can request those rates from local suppliers. Always compare delivered price, minimums, and any unloading fees to determine the true cheapest option.

One ton of crushed gravel equals roughly 0.71 cubic yards (about 19.2 cubic feet), which covers about 76 to 80 square feet at a 3-inch depth. At a 4-inch depth, one ton covers about 57 to 60 square feet. Use these figures to estimate tons needed, then round up to allow for compaction and waste.

Yes, local suppliers typically deliver to East Bardstown; Hello Gravel works with nearby suppliers and haulers in Nelson County. Our standard delivery window is 2+ business days with a 3-ton minimum; many areas offer free delivery, but fees commonly range from $0 to $150 depending on distance, driveway access, and truck type. Provide site access details at ordering to avoid added fees for long carries or difficult drops.

Many local suppliers can accommodate next-day delivery if you order early; Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Same-day delivery is less common and depends on local supplier capacity and schedule; use the checkout calendar or call our team to request expedited delivery and confirm availability and extra charges.

Yes, suppliers often offer tiered pricing for larger orders; discounts are commonly available starting around 5 tons and become more noticeable at 10 tons or more. Hello Gravel can request contractor or bulk pricing from local suppliers when you place your order or request a quote. Always ask for a written price including delivery and any spreading fees so you can compare total costs.

For most East Bardstown driveways a layered approach works best: a 4-6 inch base of crush-and-run (dense grade aggregate) or 3/4" crushed stone for stability, topped with 1-2 inches of 3/8" stone or pea gravel for a finished surface. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but compaction is not guaranteed and usually requires a contractor or rented compactor. Consider local freeze-thaw and drainage—using a proper base and edge restraint helps the driveway last longer in Kentucky's climate.

Estimate quantities first: a 500 sq ft area requires about 7 tons at 3 inches and about 9 tons at 4 inches; a 1,000 sq ft area needs about 13 tons at 3 inches and about 18 tons at 4 inches. Using a delivered price range of $35 to $65 per ton, expect rough material-and-delivery costs of $245 to $455 for 500 sq ft at 3", $315 to $585 for 500 sq ft at 4", $455 to $845 for 1,000 sq ft at 3", and $630 to $1,170 for 1,000 sq ft at 4". These are estimates—request a firm quote for exact pricing and any spreading or compaction fees.

Some local suppliers or their contractor partners can remove old driveway material and install new gravel, but removal and full installation are usually quoted separately from material delivery. Removal costs vary widely based on depth and disposal, commonly ranging from $10 to $40 per cubic yard, while labor for installation, spreading, and compaction can add $10 to $30 per ton or more. For a turnkey job get itemized quotes that include excavation, hauling, base preparation, and compaction so you can compare total project costs.

Have your delivery zip code, exact delivery address, preferred delivery date, estimated square footage and desired depth, material type, and any site access notes (driveway width, overhead wires, gated areas). Order online at HelloGravel.com using the material calculator or call 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 for help. Add order notes for tricky drops or tailgate spreading requests and contact customer service ASAP if you need to change the order before dispatch.

East Bardstown's local soils and seasonal rain mean drainage and base preparation matter: poorly drained spots can wash out gravel, so consider subgrade preparation and edge restraint to keep material in place. Regional materials may be limestone-based and vary in color and texture, so ask for local samples or photos and plan for periodic topping or grading after heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles. If you're unsure, request advice through Hello Gravel so suppliers can match material to your site conditions.
