Gravel: Drainage For High Rainfall Areas • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Available Locally
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Frequently Asked Questions - Polk County gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Polk County.
A typical tri-axle truck in Polk County carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. Prices depend on type, but expect roughly $20 to $45 per ton delivered in Polk County, so one truckload usually runs about $200 to $540. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and final cost will depend on material choice, local availability, and delivery distance.
In Polk County you can generally expect to pay about $20 to $45 per ton delivered for common gravels, though specialty or colored gravels can cost more. Price varies with material type, supplier inventory, and whether the material is screened or washed. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so small jobs will be billed at least that amount.
Yes, you can place gravel directly on dirt, but prepping the surface gives much better long-term results. For Polk County soils, which often include clay, we recommend removing vegetation, grading and compacting the base, and using a geotextile fabric or a 2-3 inch crushed stone subbase to reduce mixing and rutting. Good drainage slope will also improve performance and reduce maintenance.
Recycled concrete and basic crushed limestone (3/4" or #57) are often the most affordable driveway options in Polk County because they are widely available locally. They provide good compaction and stability for a lower cost, but may have a rougher appearance than decorative river rock or washed stone. Consider expected traffic, appearance, and maintenance when choosing the cheapest option.
Use this quick method: 1 cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, and a cubic yard is roughly 1.4 tons, so one ton covers about 231 sq ft at 1 inch. For common depths, one ton covers about 116 sq ft at 2 inches or about 77 sq ft at 3 inches; a 10-ton tri-axle truck would therefore cover roughly 770 sq ft at 3 inches. Exact coverage changes with gravel type and compaction, so measure your area and depth before ordering.
Cost depends on width and depth; assuming a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) at a 3-inch depth, you would need about 200 / 77 = 2.6 tons, so you should order the Hello Gravel minimum of 3 tons. At $20 to $45 per ton delivered in Polk County, expect the material cost to be about $60 to $135, plus any delivery fee or spreading service charges.

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.
