Stone delivery in Minneapolis, KS

Typical delivered cost for stone in Minneapolis, Kansas is in the range of $30 to $60 per ton, depending on stone size, supplier, and delivery distance. Factors that change price include the specific product (pea stone vs 3/4u0022 crushed), seasonal demand, and whether you need spreading or a short-notice delivery.

For Minneapolis and the surrounding West Kansas region, 3/4u0022 crushed stone (sometimes called #57) is a common choice because it drains well and locks together for stability. For a base on new driveways use larger angular stone (1u0022 to 1.5u0022) and a 3/4u0022 top layer; avoid round river rock for driveways since it shifts more in freeze-thaw conditions.

As a rule of thumb using crushed stone density of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard: a typical 1-car driveway (about 12' x 20') at 4u0022 depth needs roughly 4 tons, while a 2-car driveway (about 20' x 20') at 4u0022 depth needs roughly 7 tons. If you plan a deeper base (6u0022) for heavy loads, increase quantities by about 50 percent.

With basic maintenance—annual raking, infill topping every 2–4 years, and occasional grading after heavy storms—a crushed stone driveway in Minneapolis can perform well for 10 to 20 years. Lifespan depends on traffic, drainage, and how well the base was prepared; poor drainage or thin sections will need more frequent repairs.

Crushed stone offers good drainage and stability and is usually preferred for driveways; crushed limestone can compact into a harder surface that resists movement but may hold fines that freeze more in cold snaps. Crushed concrete is often cheaper as a recycled option but can be lumpier and contain old fines; pea gravel is decorative and comfortable to walk on but shifts easily and needs edging and more frequent top-ups in Minnesota-area freeze-thaw cycles.

Use a well-compacted base, consider geotextile fabric to separate soil from stone, and provide positive drainage away from the driveway to limit standing water that contributes to frost heave. Install 3–4u0022 of compacted topstone for driveways, keep edges contained with timber or pavers, and consider deeper base where heavy vehicles will park.
