Gravel in Denver, IN

In and around Denver (Miami County) the most common options are crushed limestone (very common in Indiana), pea gravel, river rock, #57 crushed stone (good for drainage), and recycled crushed concrete. Local suppliers often carry regionally sourced limestone varieties that vary in color and fines content. Availability can change by supplier and season, so check Hello Gravel for local stock and photos before ordering.

Delivered gravel prices in West Indiana typically range from about $25 to $45 per ton, depending on type and distance; that converts roughly to $30 to $60 per cubic yard depending on material density and fines. Final price depends on the exact product, delivery distance, and whether spreading or special access is required.

For driveways, 3/4" to 1" crushed limestone or a mix called 3/4" crusher run (fines plus angular stone) compacts and locks up well through freeze-thaw cycles. Walkways are comfortable with 3/8" pea gravel or 3/8" crushed stone; pea gravel can shift more in freeze-thaw conditions. For drainage and culverts use larger angular stone like #57 (about 1" size) or 1-1.5" stone to keep water moving and resist clogging.

Estimates assume a 4" top layer unless noted. A 1-car driveway (10' x 20') at 4" is about 2.5 cubic yards (~3.5 tons); a 2-car driveway (20' x 20') at 4" is about 5 cubic yards (~7 tons). For longer farm lanes, a convenient rule is per 100 ft of 12' width at 4" you need about 14.8 cubic yards (~21 tons); increase depth to 6" or add a compacted base for heavier loads and adjust quantities accordingly.

Most local suppliers and haulers serving Denver provide delivery by dump truck; Hello Gravel coordinates delivery with a minimum order of about 3 tons and standard 2+ business day scheduling. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at the driver's discretion and may incur an extra fee; typical spreading charges in rural Indiana often range from $50 to $150 depending on job complexity. Always request spreading at checkout, describe access and obstacles, and confirm any additional fees before delivery.

Crushed limestone is common in Indiana, is angular, compacts well, and often contains fines that help bind the surface—good for driveways in freeze-thaw areas. Crushed stone from harder rock (like trap rock) is tougher and wears better but is less common locally. Recycled crushed concrete is usually the cheapest option but can be inconsistent in size and contain old fines and rebar fragments, so it is best for sub-base rather than a finished driveway surface.

Expect to regrade and fill low spots at least once a year, and add a 1" to 2" top-up of fresh gravel every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic and runoff. After heavy rains or spring thaw check for ruts and potholes, fill them with compactable material and compact thoroughly. Keeping good drainage, a crowned center, and trimming vegetation at edges reduces long-term erosion and material loss.

Regulations vary by location: county or township authorities often have standards for road approaches and culvert sizing, and permits may be required for new access to public roads. For properties near town roads or state highways, contact the Miami County Highway Department or Indiana DOT before installing a new approach. If you need help, Hello Gravel can point you to local contacts, but you should confirm permits and culvert specs with county officials.

Many local quarries and suppliers offer bulk or contractor pricing for large orders; discounts commonly kick in on orders of several dozen tons or when scheduling repeated deliveries. Hello Gravel negotiates with local suppliers and can provide a bulk quote for larger projects—ask for contractor pricing when you request a quote. For very large projects, get written pricing that includes delivery, unloading, and any spreading charges.

Freeze-thaw cycles can cause frost heave and surface movement, while heavy rain can wash fines and create ruts or potholes. Proper drainage (crowning, side ditches, culverts) and a well-compacted base reduce these problems and extend the life of a gravel surface. Plan on annual inspections after spring thaw and add material or regrade as needed to keep water moving away from the surface.

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

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.
