Gravel in Foley, MO

Typical delivered gravel prices near Foley vary by material and truck distance. Expect a rough range of $15 to $45 per ton (or about $20 to $65 per cubic yard) depending on whether you choose pea gravel, crushed limestone, river rock, or specialty stone; heavier or decorative rock is more expensive. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and works with local suppliers and haulers so actual price and delivery fees depend on your zip code and selected delivery options.

Suppliers serving Foley typically stock crushed limestone, crusher run (also called 57/67 or drive stone), pea gravel, and river rock, though exact mixes vary by supplier. Regional sourcing means color and texture reflect West Missouri geology, so availability can change seasonally. Use Hello Gravel to see local inventory and photos for your area before ordering.

For a typical residential driveway near Foley, start with a 4 to 6 inch compacted top layer of crushed stone or 57 stone for light to medium vehicle traffic; use 6 to 8 inches if you expect heavy trucks. For a stable base on clay or frost-susceptible soils, add a 3 to 4 inch layer of crusher run (compacting material with fines) under the top stone to help lock it in. Because West Missouri has freeze-thaw cycles, good drainage and compaction are more important than extra loose depth.

Use area times depth to calculate material. Example estimates: a 2-car driveway (20 ft x 40 ft = 800 sq ft) needs about 10 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 15 tons) at 4u0022 depth and about 15 cubic yards (roughly 21 to 23 tons) at 6u0022 depth. A 12 ft x 12 ft patio at 3u0022 depth needs about 1.6 cubic yards (~2 to 2.5 tons); a 10 ft x 20 ft parking pad at 4u0022 depth needs about 3 cubic yards (~4 to 5 tons). Always round up and allow extra for compaction and grading.

Permit rules vary by municipality and by work that affects public right-of-way or stormwater. Many small Missouri cities allow driveway resurfacing with gravel without a permit, but new driveway cuts, curb changes, or work that impacts drainage may require permits or county approval. Contact Foley city hall or Benton County public works to confirm requirements before you start.

Foley's freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rain can cause rutting, washouts, and migration of fines in gravel surfaces. Expect to regrade and top-dress high-traffic areas annually and add fresh gravel every 2 to 5 years depending on use. Good drainage, edge restraints, and initial compaction reduce long-term maintenance needs.

Hello Gravel typically delivers via local contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle) with standard loads around 10 to 14 cubic yards, which translates to about 13 to 20 tons depending on material weight. Our minimum order is 3 tons; some suppliers may have full-truck minimums for specialty rock. You can choose a delivery date during checkout; standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply).

With routine maintenance—annual regrading, occasional addition of top gravel, and attention to drainage—a gravel driveway in West Missouri can function well for 10 to 25 years. Most homeowners reapply 1 to 2 inches of new gravel every 2 to 5 years and perform spot repairs after major storms. Major refurbishing (adding a new base or rebuilding sections) is commonly needed every 8 to 15 years depending on traffic and soil conditions.

Gravel can be effective at improving surface drainage and reducing sheet erosion on gentle slopes when combined with edge restraints, proper grading, and a geotextile fabric underneath. On steeper slopes or concentrated flow areas, gravel alone may wash out; consider terracing, retaining edges, larger riprap, or engineered drainage swales. If erosion is a concern, consult a local contractor or Hello Gravel for material recommendations and delivery options.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. Coverage examples: one cubic yard covers about 81 sq ft at 4u0022 depth, 54 sq ft at 6u0022 depth, and 27 sq ft at 12u0022 depth. Weight varies by material and moisture, but gravel typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, so multiply cubic yards by that range to estimate tons for ordering.

Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers who service the Foley area; many suppliers will deliver to your property using contracted dump fleets.
