Gravel in Monroe, OH

In Monroe expect common crushed gravel or limestone to run roughly $30 to $60 per ton, while decorative or river rock can be $60 to $100 per ton. Prices vary by material type, seasonal demand, and local quarry availability; Hello Gravel shows local pricing during checkout and has a 3-ton minimum order.

One ton of gravel covers about 115 sq ft at 2 inches depth. At 3 inches it covers roughly 77 sq ft and at 4 inches about 58 sq ft; actual coverage depends on stone size and compaction.

Recycled crushed concrete and basic crushed limestone are usually the most affordable options in the Monroe area. Availability and price depend on nearby suppliers, so ordering in bulk through Hello Gravel often gives the best per-ton rate.

For Monroe driveways, a layered approach works best: crusher run or 3/4u0022 crushed stone as a compacted base, topped with 3/8u0022 to 3/4u0022 crushed stone or limestone for drainage and traction. Local freeze-thaw and soil conditions make good base preparation and drainage especially important.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway. For occasional passenger cars aim for a 3 to 4 inch surface over a compacted base, and for regular/heavy vehicles plan for 4 to 8 inches total including a firm, compacted sub-base.

Hello Gravel usually delivers with tri-axle dump trucks that hold about 12 to 14 cubic yards, which for gravel is roughly 16 to 21 tons depending on stone density. Smaller single-axle trucks and local trailers carry less; check your order confirmation for the truck type.

Prices depend on truck size and material. A tri-axle load (roughly 16 to 21 tons) at a mid-range price of $40 per ton would cost about $640 to $840 for the material, plus any delivery fees; totals in Monroe commonly run between $500 and $1,200 depending on stone type and truck capacity.

Buying in bulk from local quarries or through an online marketplace like Hello Gravel is usually the most cost-effective option, and reclaimed crushed concrete often costs less than virgin stone. Picking up material yourself from a nearby quarry can save delivery fees if you have the right truck.

Gravel can last many years—often a decade or more—with proper installation and maintenance, but high-traffic areas or poor drainage will require more frequent top-ups. Expect to replenish or regrade the surface every few years, and more often if winter plowing or heavy trucks are common.

Costs vary by width, depth, and material. As an example, a 100 ft by 10 ft driveway with a 4u0022 depth needs about 12 to 13 cubic yards (roughly 17 to 20 tons); at $40 per ton that material would cost about $680 to $800, plus delivery and any site prep or compaction charges.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds between about 4 and 7 cubic yards depending on sidewall height. That equals roughly 5.5 to 10 tons of gravel, depending on stone density and how full the trailer is.

Order online or by phone, choose your material and delivery date, and note that Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery takes 2+ business days. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST, drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, and regional material color/texture can vary.
