Gravel in St. Louis Park, MN

Prices vary by supplier, season, and exact mix, but in the Twin Cities area Class 5 gravel typically falls in a range that reflects material and delivery costs. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and provides transparent delivered pricing once you enter your zip code; contact us for an exact quote. Expect prices to be higher in winter and lower in high-supply months.

Most deliveries to St. Louis Park use tri-axle dump trucks that commonly carry about 12 to 16 cubic yards of loose gravel, which translates to roughly 10 to 14 tons depending on the stone density. Smaller single-axle dump trucks hold less (roughly 4 to 7 cubic yards). Ask your Hello Gravel quote for the exact truck type and anticipated tonnage for your order.

Total cost equals the per-ton material price times the tons delivered plus any delivery fees. Because prices vary by product and season, Hello Gravel provides an instant delivered price after you enter your address; as a ballpark example, multiply the quoted per-ton price by the truckload tons (for a 12-ton tri-axle load). For precise pricing, request a quote for your zip code.

Coverage depends on depth and gravel density. As a general rule, 1 ton of crushed stone covers about 240 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 120 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 80 sq ft at 3 inches. Always round up a bit to account for settling and grading, and check your Hello Gravel order calculator for more exact numbers based on your chosen product.

That depends on driveway width and desired depth. For a common example (100 ft long x 10 ft wide = 1,000 sq ft) you would need about 9 cubic yards for a 3-inch layer, which is roughly 12 to 13 tons of crushed stone. If you need a compacted base (3 to 6 inches) plus a top wearing layer, plan for more material and ask Hello Gravel for a detailed estimate.

Yes, Class 5 gravel is commonly used as a compactable base in Minnesota because it compacts well and creates a stable surface that sheds water. For the finished driving surface many homeowners add a larger crushed stone or 3/4u0022 crushed rock layer on top for improved traction and longevity. Proper drainage and adequate depth are important to handle freeze-thaw cycles in St. Louis Park.

It depends on your truck. Many full-size pickups can haul about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards of gravel by volume but may be limited by payload (weight) — gravel is heavy and can easily exceed your truck's rated payload. We recommend delivery by dump truck for orders near or above Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum to avoid overloading your vehicle and to meet local road and vehicle limits.

Gravel is a natural product and regional sourcing means color, texture, and stone mix can vary across the Twin Cities area. Photos are representative but not exact; you can add color or appearance notes at checkout, and our customer service team can answer questions before you order. If a material looks significantly different than expected, contact our team promptly so we can assist.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible — changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate modifications, but once material is loaded or a truck is scheduled changes may be limited. If there is an issue with your delivery, contact customer service for assistance and to review next steps.

For pedestrian paths a 1 to 2 inch wearing layer over a compacted base is common; for driveways aim for a 3 to 6 inch compacted base (Class 5 works well) plus a 1 to 3 inch top wearing layer of larger crushed stone. Local freeze-thaw cycles and drainage in Minnesota mean thicker bases and good subgrade preparation improve longevity. If you are unsure, request a project-specific recommendation from Hello Gravel.

Installed cost depends on depth, base preparation, material selection, and labor. As a rough example, a 100 ft by 10 ft driveway (1,000 sq ft) with a 3-inch top layer might require about 12 to 15 tons of material; multiply the delivered per-ton price from your Hello Gravel quote and add labor or equipment rental for grading and compaction. For an accurate figure, request a site-specific quote that considers access, excavation needs, and Minnesota winter prep.
