Gravel in North Laurel, MD

Prices vary by material and delivery, but expect roughly $25 to $65 per ton delivered for common gravels in the North Laurel area. A good rule of thumb is about 1.3–1.5 tons per cubic yard for crushed stone, so that converts to approximately $35 to $95 per cubic yard delivered. Exact price depends on gravel type (pea, crushed stone, crusher-run), seasonal demand, and whether delivery fees apply—check our checkout or request a quote for a precise local price.

Ten cubic yards of typical crushed gravel weigh about 13–15 tons; at $25–$65 per ton the material cost will usually fall between about $325 and $975. Many Hello Gravel orders include free delivery in parts of our network, but delivery fees or next-day service fees can apply, so your total delivered price will commonly run between $350 and $1,100 depending on material and delivery options. For an exact number, request a quote for your North Laurel zip code and preferred delivery date.

Cost depends on driveway width and desired depth. For a typical single-car driveway 10 ft wide by 20 ft long (200 sq ft), you need about 1.9 cubic yards at 3u0022 depth or 2.5 cubic yards at 4u0022 depth; at $40–$90 per cubic yard that’s roughly $75–$225 for materials plus any delivery fee. For a double-wide 20 ft by 20 ft (400 sq ft), double those quantities and material costs—expect roughly $150–$450 plus delivery; ask Hello Gravel for a tailored quote including local delivery and any spreading labor.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. At 2u0022 (0.167 ft) depth it covers about 162 sq ft, and at 3u0022 (0.25 ft) depth it covers about 108 sq ft. Allow an extra 5–10% for compaction, grade variations, and waste when ordering.

For durability in Maryland’s freeze-thaw climate, crushed stone such as 3/4u0022 crushed stone, #57 stone, or crusher-run (a mix that compacts well) are good choices because they lock together and shed water. Recycled crushed concrete is a cost-effective, durable alternative for base layers. Cheaper options like pea gravel or rounded river rock look nice but shift and rut more easily and are not recommended as the primary surface for driveways where durability is needed.

Hello Gravel works with a network of trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve the North Laurel area; the exact suppliers available vary by zip code and product. To see the specific quarries and suppliers that will deliver to your address, enter your zip code on our site or contact our sales team and we will provide the local options and prices. If you prefer to shop direct, look for local Maryland quarries and landscape supply yards, but note Hello Gravel handles scheduling and coordination for delivery.

For most homeowners, bulk delivery by dump truck is easiest—Hello Gravel coordinates delivery, places material where you need it, and handles scheduling. Pickup can be cheaper if you have a suitable truck and trailer and want only a small amount, but many local suppliers have minimums, and hauling costs, permits, or heavy equipment needs can make pickup impractical. Keep in mind Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; if you need help deciding, contact our team with your project details and vehicle access.

No—2 inches is generally not sufficient for a driveway. For a long-lasting residential driveway you should plan on at least 3–4 inches of compacted surface gravel over a properly prepared base; heavier traffic or trucks typically need a 6–8 inch compacted base (larger stone or crusher-run) beneath the surface layer. Proper subgrade preparation and drainage are as important as thickness for performance in Maryland’s climate.

Gravel appearance can vary by region because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, so color, stone shape, and texture reflect local geology. Photos are a guide; if color or texture is important, note your preference in Order Notes and ask our team for photos of available local material before checkout. If the material you receive differs significantly from what was represented, contact customer service and we will work to resolve the issue.
