Gravel in Prosser, WA

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 10-12 tons of gravel. In Prosser, expect material plus delivery to commonly range from about $35 to $70 per ton depending on type and local supplier, with delivery fees of roughly $50 to $200; tailgate spreading by the driver is sometimes possible for an additional charge, usually $100-$300, and is done at the driver's discretion. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and will show delivery and spreading options at checkout.

For most driveway projects in Prosser, bulk delivery is the most cost-effective if you need more than our 3-ton minimum, since it saves time and labor. Quarry pickup can be cheaper if you have a suitable truck and trailer and the quarry is nearby, while bags are only practical for very small jobs because they are much more expensive per ton. Compare material price plus hauling or time cost to decide which is best for your project.

Crushed gravel with fines (often called '3/4" minus' or 'crush-and-run') is a common, reliable choice for Prosser driveways because it compacts well and resists rutting. A typical build is a compacted base of 3/4" minus and a 1-2" wearing surface of 3/8" or 1/4" crushed material for a smoother top. Regional suppliers may use slightly different names; check photos or ask your Hello Gravel supplier to confirm the exact gradation.

For cars and light trucks in Prosser, a compacted gravel depth of 4 inches is commonly recommended; 6 inches is safer if you expect heavier loads or poor subgrade. Depth directly increases material needs: for a 100 ft by 10 ft driveway (1,000 sq ft), 4" requires roughly 17 tons of gravel while 6" needs about 26 tons, so deeper sections raise material and delivery costs proportionally. Don’t forget compaction and a good base; proper prep reduces long-term maintenance costs.

If the driveway is 100 ft long and 10 ft wide (1,000 sq ft), volumes are: 4" depth ≈ 12.3 cubic yards (≈17 tons), 6" ≈ 18.5 cubic yards (≈26 tons). With local material prices often between $35 and $70 per ton delivered, expect a delivered material cost roughly $600 to $1,800 for a 4" depth, not including optional spreading or site prep. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact our team for a tailored quote based on your exact width and desired depth.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft; at 4" depth that’s about 4.9 cubic yards or roughly 6.9 tons. Material plus local delivery in Prosser will commonly fall in the $250 to $550 range depending on material choice, with additional labor/spreading typically $100 to $300 if you hire hauling drivers or a local contractor. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so small jobs may hit that floor.

Coverage depends on depth, but a useful rule: 1 ton of gravel is roughly 0.7 cubic yards. That covers about 116 sq ft at 2" depth, 77 sq ft at 3" depth, and 58 sq ft at 4" depth. Use those figures to convert your area and depth into a tonnage estimate, and round up for waste and compaction.

Cheaper upfront options can include recycled crushed concrete or reclaimed asphalt, which local yards sometimes sell at lower per-ton prices than new crushed stone. Gravel generally has the lowest upfront cost compared with asphalt or concrete, but it requires more annual maintenance (regrading, topping up, dust control). Asphalt or concrete costs more initially in Prosser but usually need less frequent maintenance, so consider your budget and how much upkeep you want to do.

If you want a firmer, more stable surface in Prosser, consider combining crushed gravel with a stabilizer system: options include gravel grid pavers (geocells), polymer-based binders that lock fines together, or resin-bound gravel topcoats. These products add cost but reduce rutting, dust, and maintenance; they also have specific installation requirements, so ask your Hello Gravel supplier about compatible aggregate sizes and any additional installation services. Note that not all drivers provide spreading or specialized installation, so schedule any specialized work in advance.

Prosser has a semi-arid climate with hot, dry summers and occasional winter snow; common issues are dust in dry months, rutting or washouts after heavy rain or snowmelt, and some weed growth. Budget for periodic maintenance: light regrading and adding 0.25" to 0.5" of new gravel each year or every few years, and possible dust control or weed treatment; plan on roughly $100 to $400 per year for routine upkeep on a typical residential driveway. Good drainage and compaction at installation reduce these ongoing costs.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
