Engineered aggregate blend that compacts to form a rock-solid foundation. The essential first layer for driveways, roads, and parking areas that need to support heavy loads.

Road base is crushed stone blended with fines that compacts into a load-bearing pad — the layer that goes under a driveway or slab, not the surface you see.

Also called: 3/4" minus, crush-and-run, dense-grade aggregate, ABC stone.

I couldn't be more happier with the overall experience I had using hello gravel to deliver some road base I needed to make a pad for a 40' storage container. They delivered right on time and put the gravel right where I wanted it to go. The driver was very friendly and super polite. This much is for sure if I need gravel in the future I will most definitely be calling hello gravel to bring it. So if you need some good quality road base give hello gravel a call and you will be glad you did. I almost forgot to tell you about how easy the whole process is when buying online and setting up payment and delivery and didn't have anyone hassling and pressuring me into buying something. Thanos again for being a top notch business

Frequently Asked Questions

Use our built-in calculator on this page — enter the length, width, and depth of your project area, and we'll calculate the exact amount. As a general rule, 1 ton of material covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep.

We deliver directly to your driveway or project site using a dump truck. Just choose your delivery date and time window (AM or PM) during checkout. Next-day delivery is available on orders placed before noon.

Yes! Delivery is included in the price you see — no hidden fees, no surprises. The price per ton (or yard) you see is the price you pay, delivered.

The minimum order is typically 1 ton (or 1 cubic yard for mulch and soil products). Our pricing gets better with larger quantities — a full truckload (18 tons) gives you the best per-unit price.

Due to the nature of bulk materials, we cannot accept returns once delivered. We recommend using our calculator to get the right amount — it's better to order slightly more than to run short mid-project.

For driveways, we recommend 4-6 inches of compacted base. For patios and walkways, 3-4 inches is sufficient. Heavy-use areas like parking lots may need 6-8 inches. Always compact in 2-inch lifts for best results.

Absolutely. Compaction is essential for base materials to perform properly. Rent a plate compactor for small areas or a roller for larger projects. Water the base lightly before compacting for best results.
