Frequently Asked Questions - Dayton gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dayton.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order for delivery in Dayton. Delivered prices vary by material and local supply but commonly range from about $30 to $75 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed limestone, #57, etc.), delivery distance, and any next-day or spreading fees. Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra charge. Use our online quote or call our team to get a site-specific price for your zip code.
For Dayton properties, crushed limestone or #57 crushed stone are common top choices because they compact well and handle occasional heavy loads. Pea gravel and river rock look nice but tend to shift under vehicle traffic and are less ideal for driveways unless used with a stabilizer. Road base or recycled crushed concrete make a good underlying layer for durability, especially where drainage or wet spots occur.
Use the simple volume formula (area x depth ÷ 27 = cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to convert to tons). As examples: a typical 2-car driveway (about 20 x 40 ft) at a 3" top depth needs roughly 8 to 12 tons; a 1-acre 4" base requires about 1,870 to 2,100 tons depending on compaction; a 12 x 14 ft patio at 2" depth needs about 1 to 2 tons. For exact amounts, enter your dimensions in our material calculator or ask our sales team for help.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers serving the Dayton area and surrounding counties. Some local landscape contractors and paving companies also offer spreading and compaction as an add-on service, but spreading by the driver is always at their discretion. For specific local contractors and supplier names in Dayton, request a quote and we will show available partners in your zip code.
For heavy truck or RV access, plan on a well-compacted base of 6 to 12 inches of crushed rock or graded road base beneath a 2 to 3 inch wearing layer, plus a geotextile fabric to separate the base from native soil. Edge restraints and proper compaction with a plate compactor or roller help keep the surface from spreading under heavy loads. If you expect frequent heavy traffic, consider thicker base layers and ask local contractors about stabilization grids to extend life.
In Dayton's climate, which can bring hot summers and heavy rain events, expect to regrade and top up high-traffic areas every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic, drainage, and material type. After storm runoff or seasonal washouts, you may need spot repairs or regrading sooner. Good initial drainage and compaction reduce the frequency of maintenance.
Local regulations and HOA rules vary; some homeowners associations restrict visible rock sizes, colors, or require paved driveway aprons at the curb. City of Dayton or Liberty County may have rules about driveway approaches, drainage, and runoff where a permit or inspection is required. Check your HOA guidelines and call Dayton city public works or our customer team before ordering if you think permits or HOA approval may apply.
Gravel usually has a lower upfront cost than asphalt or concrete and is quicker to install, making it attractive for rural or budget-conscious Dayton homeowners. Lifespan is variable: with proper base and maintenance gravel can last many years but typically requires periodic topping and regrading, while asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but longer low-maintenance life. Choose gravel for flexibility and lower initial cost; choose asphalt or concrete if you prefer a smoother, lower-maintenance surface long term.
Yes, many local contractors install geotextile fabric, plastic grid systems, or polymer stabilizers to reduce movement and rutting. Costs vary by method: geotextile underlay can be a modest per-square-foot add-on, grid systems commonly run from about $2 to $6 per square foot installed, and polymer binders vary by product and coverage. Ask for local quotes through Hello Gravel so we can match materials and delivery with contractor pricing in your area.
On sloped lots, use terraces or short retaining features, install edge restraints, and direct runoff into swales or gravel-lined channels to prevent washouts. Permeable settings and a stable base with geotextile fabric reduce undercutting, and check dams or riprap at slope breaks slow water flow. Planning positive drainage away from structures and into approved drainage locations is especially important in Dayton's heavy-rain events.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
