Gravel in Mclean, VA

For most McLean driveways we recommend a 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57 stone as a surface layer with a 3-4u0022 depth, backed by 4-6u0022 of coarser crushed stone for a stable base. Gravel is typically ordered in tons; a good planning figure is about 1.5 tons per cubic yard and to order 10% extra for compaction and grading. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, so measure your area, calculate needed volume, then request a quote or use our material calculator to confirm quantities.

Delivery cost to McLean depends on tonnage, distance from the supplier, and whether you select next-day delivery or request tailgate spreading. Tailgate spreading may incur an extra fee and is performed at the driver’s discretion, so include the request at checkout.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading if they determine it is safe and practical, but spreading is not guaranteed and may be charged separately.

Materials are regionally sourced, so McLean customers typically receive gravel supplied from Northern Virginia or nearby quarries, which reflects local geology and color. Many suppliers in our network also offer recycled crushed concrete or reclaimed aggregates as alternatives; availability varies by supplier. You can note material preferences in Order Notes or contact our team to confirm recycled options for your delivery.

Permit and HOA requirements depend on Fairfax County and your specific HOA rules, so you should check local regulations before starting work. Hello Gravel can provide product specifications, material photos, and delivery documentation to support permit or HOA submissions, but we do not obtain permits on your behalf. If you need help, contact our sales team for guidance on what documentation to submit.

Payment is accepted by all major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay.

For drainage on slopes, use clean, washed stone with larger particle sizes such as 3/4u0022 clean crushed stone or 1u0022 to 1.5u0022 crushed rock to maintain flow through the material. For severe erosion control, larger rock like 1-2u0022 riprap or gabion fill may be appropriate, and combining a geotextile fabric underneath helps stability. Because McLean sees periodic heavy rains, consider consulting a civil or landscape professional for steep slopes to size material and drainage systems correctly.

Hello Gravel primarily sells bulk gravel with a 3-ton minimum per delivery, though some local suppliers in Northern Virginia may offer bagged products for smaller projects.

Multiply the area in square feet by the depth in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (volume = length x width x depth / 27). Convert cubic yards to tons using roughly 1.4 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on material; use 1.5 tons/yd3 for a practical estimate. For example, a 12' x 50' driveway at 4u0022 depth is 600 sq ft x 0.333 ft = 200 cu ft, or 7.4 cu yd, which is about 11.1 tons (7.4 x 1.5).

Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST, though seasonal demand (spring and fall) can extend lead times. Material types and recycled options may be limited at times due to local supply, so check availability during busy seasons. If you need to change or cancel an order, contact our team as soon as possible; we will do our best to accommodate requests before processing but specific refund terms are described on our refund policy page.
