Gravel in Antwerp, OH

Approximate amounts using a typical crushed stone density (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard): 2u0022 depth = ~0.86 tons per 100 sq ft, 3u0022 = ~1.30 tons per 100 sq ft, 4u0022 = ~1.73 tons per 100 sq ft. These are estimates; variations in aggregate type and compaction change the final weight. If you order from Hello Gravel remember the minimum order is 3 tons, so plan accordingly or round up.

Angular, crushed stone (for example 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crushed limestone) generally performs best in Northwest Ohio freeze-thaw cycles because angular pieces lock together and resist shifting. Pea gravel looks nice for patios but tends to migrate and float with freeze-thaw and is less ideal for driveways that see plowing. For a long-lasting driveway choose a crushed base with an angular wearing course.

Prices vary by product and distance, but a typical delivered range for common gravels in West Ohio is about $30 to $65 per ton delivered, depending on type and haul distance.

Permit requirements vary by township and whether work affects the public right-of-way. Many homeowners need a driveway approach permit, culvert approval, or setback confirmation from Paulding County Engineer or the Antwerp Township office before changing a driveway entrance. Contact the county engineer and your township zoning office early in planning to confirm local rules and avoid delays.

A typical, durable assembly is geotextile fabric, 4u0022 to 6u0022 of compacted crusher run or dense grade aggregate for the base, and 2u0022 to 3u0022 of angular wearing stone on top. For heavier vehicles or poor soils increase base thickness to 6u0022 to 8” and ensure good perimeter edge restraints and surface crown for drainage. Proper compaction and surface slope are often the difference between a lasting gravel driveway and frequent regrading.

Angular crushed stone holds up well to plowing because it locks together and resists being pushed away; pea gravel and very round stones are more likely to be displaced. Road salt can accelerate breakdown of some aggregate fines and accelerate corrosion of metal, so a coarser, well-compacted stone surface is easier to maintain. Ask your installer about top-course thickness and whether to remove loose stones near the edge before plowing.

Costs depend on prep work, depth, and driveway size. As a rough guide, expect materials and delivery around $30 to $65 per ton and installation labor and equipment to add roughly $1.50 to $4.50 per square foot; a standard single-car 12' x 50' driveway (600 sq ft) could run approximately $1,000 to $4,000 total. Get local estimates because site access, removal of old material, and drainage work can push costs higher.
