Gravel in Webster Groves, MO

In West Missouri, including Webster Groves, typical delivered prices for common driveway gravels (crushed limestone or crushed stone) generally fall in the range of about $30 to $60 per ton. Decorative gravels, pea gravel, and river rock are usually more expensive, often running $60 to $120 per ton depending on color and size. Prices vary with material type, delivery distance, and order size, so check your zip code or request a quote for an exact price.

For Webster Groves' freeze-thaw cycles and spring rains, angular crushed stone (like crushed limestone or #57) tends to perform best because the pieces lock together and resist shifting. Pea gravel drains well but can migrate and rut under vehicle traffic, while rounded river rock drains but is prone to washout unless secured with edging and good drainage. For driveways, use a compacted crushed base, proper crown, and edge restraints to improve durability in local weather.

Using typical resurfacing depths: for 2 inches of new gravel (common top dressing) expect about 1.7 tons for a 1-car driveway (10x20 ft), 3.5 tons for a 2-car driveway or a 20x20 pad (400 sq ft), and about 7.5 tons for a 24x36 area. For a heavier 3-inch layer, those numbers increase to roughly 2.6 tons, 5.2 tons, and 11.2 tons respectively. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so small 1-car resurfacing at 2 inches will usually still hit the minimum.

Costs depend on site prep: simple resurfacing (spreading new gravel over an existing base) commonly runs about $1.50 to $3.50 per sq ft in the St. Louis area, plus material. A full rebuild that includes grading, geotextile, compacted base, edging, and top gravel typically ranges from $4 to $10 per sq ft depending on access and soil conditions. Get at least three local quotes and ask contractors for references and site photos for accurate pricing.

Possibly. Webster Groves may have rules about driveway width, curb cuts, stormwater runoff, and impervious-surface calculations, and many HOAs have design standards or approval processes.

Hello Gravel delivers by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) with a 3-ton minimum order; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day is available if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Trucks will dump at the spot they can safely access—if your street is narrow or access is tight, note that at checkout and consider requesting an off-street drop or a specific dump location. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed, so plan on arranging labor or equipment if you need material spread and compacted.

Pick a material suited to use: angular crushed stone for driveways, pea gravel for decorative or low-traffic areas, and larger river rock for drainage swales. Add a compacted aggregate base, adequate slope or crown for drainage, and edge restraints to keep material contained in Webster Groves' freeze-thaw conditions. When in doubt, order a small sample for color/texture inspection and call Hello Gravel for help calculating quantities and scheduling delivery.
