Gravel in Henderson, CO

Standard delivery through Hello Gravel is typically available in 2+ business days and many orders qualify for free delivery; minimum orders start at 3 tons. If a delivery fee applies, local suppliers usually charge between $30 and $150 depending on distance and site access; optional tailgate spreading is at the driver or contractor's discretion and can add roughly $50 to $300 depending on the size of the job and whether a contractor does the work.

Common choices in the Henderson area include 3/4" crushed stone or crushed rock (good for compaction and driveways), road base or 'class 2' for a stable subbase, pea gravel for decorative areas, and decomposed granite for paths and xeriscaping. Because local suppliers source regionally, you may see variations in color and particle shape that reflect West Colorado geology.

Henderson's semi-arid climate means less biological growth but stronger wind and occasional erosion for fine gravels; freeze-thaw cycles at elevation can cause shallow frost heave and settling. Proper drainage, a well-compacted angular base, and edge restraints reduce movement and pooling; avoid fine sand tops that hold moisture and freeze.

Bulk gravel prices in the region vary by material and supplier; expect a typical range of about $30 to $60 per ton for common crushed driveway stone, with specialty materials or color-stained gravels costing more. Prices change with availability and haul distance, so enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see current, location-specific pricing.

Permit and HOA rules vary: some county or city zones and homeowners associations have rules about driveway materials, drainage, parking, and setbacks. Check with Henderson city or county planning and your HOA before ordering—Hello Gravel can help with material choices, but local approvals are the customer's responsibility.

For most two-car driveways in the area, install a 4 to 6 inch compacted base of road base or class 2 material, then add a 2 to 3 inch surface layer of 3/4" crushed stone or similar topping for a total of about 6 to 9 inches. Place material in layers no thicker than 4 to 6 inches before compacting with a plate compactor or roller to get firm support and reduce future rutting.

Measure the length and width to get square feet, multiply by the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards (area * depth / 27 = cubic yards). Multiply cubic yards by the material weight (most gravels are roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard) for an estimated tonnage, or use Hello Gravel's online calculator for a quick, location-specific estimate.

Gravel needs periodic maintenance: rake to level high-traffic ruts, add fresh material every few years to maintain depth, and recompact after major weather events. With proper base preparation, drainage, and occasional topping, a residential gravel driveway in this climate can last 10 to 25 years before significant restoration is needed.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is easy to repair, but it requires ongoing maintenance like grading and topping. Asphalt costs more up front and needs less frequent maintenance; pavers are the most expensive but offer the lowest maintenance and a finished look. Consider traffic, budget, and desired appearance—Hello Gravel can provide material cost comparisons for your zip code.

Hello Gravel works with local haulers who deliver by dump truck (typically tri-axle); minimum orders start at 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days. Tailgate spreading and compaction are sometimes offered by drivers at their discretion; for reliable spreading and compaction on small jobs expect to pay contractors or rent equipment—contractor labor often runs a few hundred dollars, while compactor rental is commonly $60 to $150 per day.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
