Gravel in West Middletown, OH

In West Middletown and the greater Cincinnati area, expect delivered gravel to run roughly $35 to $75 per ton depending on type (basic crushed stone on the low end, decorative pea gravel or colored stone on the high end).

Contact our team or check your zip code for an exact delivered price.

For the Cincinnati metro, a reasonable average delivered price is about $40 to $60 per ton for common crushed stone and crusher run. Specialty materials like washed pea gravel or colored rock usually cost more, often $50 to $80 per ton delivered. Exact pricing depends on supplier stock, delivery distance to West Middletown, and order size.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used for local deliveries in our network carry about 10 to 14 tons of gravel, which is roughly 7 to 10 cubic yards depending on material density. Smaller single-axle trucks or local dumps may carry less. If you need a full-truck order, we can confirm the available truck size when you place your order.

A full tri-axle load (about 10 to 14 tons) typically costs between $350 and $1,000 delivered, depending on material type and local rates in West Middletown. If tailgate spreading is available and requested, expect an additional fee of roughly $50 to $200 depending on the job complexity; drivers perform spreading at their discretion and Hello Gravel cannot guarantee the service. For a firm quote that includes spreading, request it at checkout and we will confirm availability before dispatch.

Costs vary by width and depth, but for a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at a typical 4-inch depth you need about 15 cubic yards, roughly 20 to 23 tons. At $40 to $60 per ton delivered, materials and delivery would run about $800 to $1,400. If you want 6 inches of depth, professional spreading and compaction, or higher-end stone, total installed cost can rise to $1,500 to $3,000 depending on contractor labor and site prep.

For larger jobs, bulk delivery is usually the most cost-effective per ton because it eliminates per-bag premiums and multiple trips. If you only need a small amount (under 3 tons) picking up bags or a small load from a local landscape supplier can be cheaper. Keep in mind Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum for delivery, so compare the total landed cost including pickup time and fuel when deciding.

Crusher run (also called 3/4u0022 minus or dense grade aggregate) and #57 crushed stone are the most common choices for driveways because they compact well and provide a stable surface. #57 drains well and is good as a top layer, while crusher run contains fines that lock together for a firmer base. Pea gravel is attractive but can migrate and rut more easily, so it is best used with edging or a stabilizing surface layer.

#57 refers to a size grading of crushed stone, roughly 1/2u0022 to 1u0022 in diameter with angular edges. It is commonly used for driveways, pathways, drainage, and as a top layer over crusher run because it compacts and drains well. In West Middletown conditions, #57 is a good all-around choice when you need stability and decent drainage.

Polymer-stabilized or resin-bound gravels are offered by specialty installers rather than general aggregate suppliers and cost significantly more than raw gravel. Installed prices typically range from about $5 to $12 per square foot depending on product and prep work, with material-only costs varying by supplier. If you are interested, we can connect you to local contractors or advise on suppliers in the Cincinnati metro who handle polymer-treated systems.

Availability and service offerings vary by supplier and ZIP code, so the best way to confirm whether a specific supplier like Watson Gravel Inc delivers to West Middletown is to check your ZIP code on Hello Gravel or contact our sales team. Hello Gravel works with a network of local suppliers and haulers to arrange delivery; some contractors or suppliers may also offer spreading or installation but services are confirmed on a per-order basis. If you need help, call our team and we will check supplier coverage and service options for your address.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet to calculate volume, then convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet divided by 27). As a rule of thumb in Ohio, 1 cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons, so multiply cubic yards by 1.3-1.5 to estimate tons. If you prefer, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for help with precise quantities for West Middletown projects.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and sizing can vary with local geology, so material may not match photos exactly. You can add color or appearance notes in the Order Notes at checkout, and we will try to accommodate preferences where suppliers have matching stock. If the look is critical, contact our team before ordering and we can provide photos or help arrange a sample when possible.
