Gravel in Evansville, IN

Delivered gravel prices in Evansville typically range from about $30 to $65 per ton depending on material type, distance, and access. A standard residential dump truck load (varies by truck and material) often totals between 10 and 20 tons, so a single truck delivery commonly runs roughly $300 to $1,300 before any spreading or special fees. Hello Gravel shows local supplier pricing at checkout and the company minimum order is 3 tons; exact pricing depends on your zip code and chosen material.

Use this quick formula: tons = square feet x depth_in_inches x 0.00432. For example, for 1,000 sq ft you would need about 4.3 tons at 1", 8.6 tons at 2", 12.9 tons at 3", and 17.3 tons at 4". Always round up and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum on orders.

One ton of crushed gravel covers roughly 116 sq ft at 2" depth, about 77 sq ft at 3" depth, and about 58 sq ft at 4" depth. These are typical estimates for crushed limestone or similar driveway mixes and can vary slightly with material moisture and gradation. For small jobs, plan with these numbers and round up to allow for compaction and settlement.

Crushed gravel (for example crushed limestone or crusher run) delivered to Evansville commonly falls in the range of $30 to $50 per ton, though higher grades or specialty colors can be more. Prices fluctuate with fuel, supplier stock, and delivery distance, so the best way to get an exact delivered price is to enter your zip code and material on Hello Gravel. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

A typical residential dump truck delivery usually carries about 10 to 20 tons of material depending on the truck and the material density. At 2" depth that translates to roughly 1,150 to 2,300 sq ft covered; at 3" about 770 to 1,540 sq ft; and at 4" about 580 to 1,160 sq ft. Exact coverage depends on the truck size used by your local supplier and the specific gravel density.

Two inches may be sufficient as a thin wearing course on top of a well-compacted subbase, but it is generally too thin for a full gravel driveway in Evansville. Local clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles favor a more robust section: a compacted base layer (crusher run or similar) of several inches with a 2-3" wearing layer is common; many homeowners use 3 to 4 inches of final gravel over a prepared base for durability. If you are building a driveway from scratch, prepare a compacted subgrade and consider a thicker aggregate build-up for long-term performance.

For Evansville driveways a two-layer approach works best: crusher run (quarry process) or compactable base mix as the bottom layer for stability, and a washed stone like #57 or #411 as the top wearing surface for drainage and traction. Pea gravel looks attractive but tends to migrate and is less stable for vehicle traffic; it also usually costs more per ton than crusher run. In general pricing ranks: crusher run (cheapest) < #57 or #411 (mid) < specialty colored or decorative gravels like pea gravel (highest), with local color and availability affecting final price.

Local suppliers in the Evansville area commonly offer delivery and dumping; tailgate spreading is sometimes available at the driver’s discretion if requested at checkout. Spreading fees vary by supplier and job complexity but often fall in the $40 to $120 range per load; compaction is not usually included and you should plan to rent a plate compactor or hire a contractor for compaction. Check the service notes during checkout and add delivery instructions or request spreading, keeping in mind that drivers decide on-site if spreading is safe.

Yes, check for city permits and HOA rules before ordering. Evansville may require permits for new driveway curb cuts, changes to the public right-of-way, or certain surface materials, and many HOAs have rules about color, edging, and surface type. Contact your HOA and the Evansville building or permitting office before scheduling delivery to avoid fines or rework.

Plan to inspect and top up your gravel driveway at least once a year; Evansville’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and rain-driven erosion can thin the surface. Expect to add about 1/2" to 1" of material annually for moderate use; that is roughly 2.2 to 4.3 tons per 1,000 sq ft per inch of fill (use 0.00432 x sqft x inches to estimate tons). For small repairs you can order Hello Gravel’s minimum 3 tons; for larger top-ups use the formula or our calculator at checkout.

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.
