Road Base
Crushed stone and fines that compact into a hard base
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: crusher run, crush and run, ABC stone, 3/4" minus, dense-grade aggregate, CA-6, Class 5, flex base, 21A, base gravel.

Right material. Safe delivery. Real help if we miss.
How it works
- We fix what we control. Wrong material, confirmed fulfillment errors, or orders we cannot complete are reviewed for replacement, refund, or another fair resolution.
- Safe delivery comes first. The driver chooses the final safe dump location on site. If your requested spot is not safely reachable, we deliver to the closest safe location available.
- Plans change. You can cancel free up to one full business day before delivery. Next-business-day orders cannot be cancelled once confirmed.
- Natural material varies. Color, texture, moisture, dust, and sizing can vary by quarry, supplier, season, and region.

Would highly recommend this company for a quick turn around on delivery gravel to your doorstep. The customer service was outstanding. Even though there was an initial problem with the delivery window, they went above and beyond to meet our expectations on securing another appointment time that worked for our contractor.

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

I ordered 5 tons of driveway gravel from Hello Gravel for delivery to the Lower Garden District, and the whole process was seamless. Getting a big truck down here can be tricky with the narrow streets and tight turns, but they handled it without a hitch. Delivery was fast, communication was excellent, and I was kept informed every step of the way. They made what could have been a stressful project feel so easy. They really did help me get it right! Thank you!

Once again, round two of my project was to add road base to the top of my fill and Hello Gravel did a great job. Delivered the material on time and right where I needed it. The driver was super friendly and I will certainly call them again for my next project. I’ve got a 650’ driveway that is next!

Road base under a gravel driveway
Road base is the packed layer under the stone you drive on. Yards often call it crusher run. The clean stone that goes on top is driveway gravel delivered.
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.
