Gravel delivery in Las Vegas, NV

Gravel prices in Las Vegas typically range from about $15 to $45 per ton depending on type (pea, crushed, river rock, decomposed granite). Using a common conversion (about 1.3 tons per cubic yard), that works out to roughly $20 to $60 per cubic yard. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and delivery fees vary by zip code; some areas qualify for free delivery and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Local sources include landscape supply yards, regional quarries, recycled aggregate yards, and wholesale haulers; Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers so you do not have to contact each one directly. Expect basic crushed rock or decomposed granite at the lower end ($15-$25/ton) and decorative or large river rock at the higher end ($30-$45+/ton), with exact pricing depending on color, size, and availability.

For driveways, 3/4u0022 crushed stone or angular crushed rock compacts well and resists migration; decomposed granite is also popular for low-profile, compacted driveways. For xeriscape, smaller decorative gravels and DG work well for water-efficient gardens, while for drainage and dry creek beds use clean washed rock or 3/4u0022 crushed stone to allow water flow and avoid clogging.

Approximate coverage for 100 square feet is: 2u0022 depth = about 0.8 tons, 3u0022 depth = about 1.2 tons, and 4u0022 depth = about 1.6 tons. These figures use a typical density conversion of roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard; actual amounts can vary with rock type and compaction, so it is wise to order a small overage (5-10%).

Gravel itself can last many years in an arid climate, but expect to do light maintenance like raking and topping up every 1-5 years depending on foot and vehicle traffic. Dust, migration, and occasional washout after rare heavy storms are the main issues; annual inspection and a refresh of several inches every few years will keep surfaces looking and performing well.

Basic professional installation with site prep, geotextile fabric, base rock, and compaction typically runs about $3 to $7 per square foot in the Las Vegas area. If you add higher-level options like polymer stabilization, resin binders, heavy grading, or complicated access the installed cost can rise to $8 to $12+/square foot. Final cost depends on project size, access, existing grade work, and chosen material.

For slope erosion control use larger angular rock (1u0022 to 3u0022) or riprap for steep or high-flow areas because larger sizes resist movement during storms. For French drains and subsurface drainage use clean, washed 1/2u0022 to 1u0022 crushed stone (commonly 3/4u0022) with a geotextile envelope to prevent fines from clogging the system. In arid Las Vegas soils, combine proper grading, fabric, and correctly sized rock for long-term performance.

Yes, many Las Vegas HOAs and some municipalities have specific rules about rock sizes, colors, and coverage percentages for front-yard landscaping and visible areas. Before ordering, check your HOA covenants and local city or county landscaping ordinances; if unsure, request photos and material descriptions in your Hello Gravel order notes so you can verify suitability with your HOA.

Note driveway width, overhead clearance, gate codes, and any obstacles in your order notes so the hauler can plan the best drop location; Hello Gravel deliveries are made by contracted dump-truck fleets and not branded trucks. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout but drivers will only perform it at their discretion for safety, so plan for a separate crew if you need guaranteed spreading or precise distribution.

Materials reflect local geology, so color, texture, and consistency will vary across the Las Vegas area and nearby regions; photos online may not be an exact match. In hot desert sun, lighter colors reflect heat better and some gravels can fade or bleach over time, so request samples or photos from local suppliers through Hello Gravel if color is important for curb appeal.
