Gravel in Indianapolis, IN

A full dump truck load in Indianapolis typically costs between $400 and $1,200 depending on gravel type (stone, crushed limestone, bank run), truck size, and whether delivery is included. Prices vary by supplier and material; heavier or specialty aggregates are at the higher end. Hello Gravel will show local supplier pricing for your zip code and any delivery fees during checkout.

For a 20x20 ft driveway, 2 inches of gravel is about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3.5 tons), 3 inches is about 3.7 cubic yards (about 5.2 tons), and 4 inches is about 4.9 cubic yards (about 6.9 tons). Delivered material costs in Indianapolis commonly range from about $20 to $60 per cubic yard depending on type; many orders include free delivery, but check your quote for fees. Hello Gravel’s checkout will show exact delivered price for your address and options for next-day delivery if needed.

Assuming a single-car driveway width of 10 ft, a 40 ft by 10 ft driveway equals the same area as a 20x20 ft. At 3 inches you need about 3.7 cubic yards (about 5.2 tons); at 4 inches about 4.9 cubic yards (about 6.9 tons). Multiply the cubic yards by your local delivered price (typically $20 to $60 per cubic yard in Indianapolis) to estimate material cost; delivery and optional spreading may add fees shown in your Hello Gravel quote.

A standard tri-axle dump truck used in local deliveries commonly carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 20 tons) depending on material density and truck. A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds in the neighborhood of 3 to 6 cubic yards depending on side height. Delivery cost depends on supplier, distance, and load size; small trailer loads often cost more per yard than bulk truck delivery, and Hello Gravel will show delivered pricing for each option when you enter your zip code.

Two inches is usually only a light surface cover and is fine for temporary or lightly used areas, but for a long-lasting driveway in Indianapolis you should plan on 3 to 4 inches for proper compaction and drainage. Ordering 3 vs 4 inches increases material by about 33 percent (for the same area), so expect material cost to rise proportionally — for example, a 20x20 area moves from about 3.7 yd3 at 3 inches to 4.9 yd3 at 4 inches. Delivery fees may not change much for small increases in quantity, but the per-load price and whether you hit a minimum order will affect total cost.

Cheapest options in the Indianapolis area are typically bulk 'bank run' gravel, recycled aggregates, or locally quarried limestone screenings; these often run at the low end of local pricing. Delivered price for the most economical materials commonly falls in the $12 to $30 per ton range (roughly $17 to $42 per cubic yard), but prices vary by supplier and season. Hello Gravel shows local supplier choices and their delivered prices so you can compare cost vs suitability for your project.

Yes, 50-lb bags are commonly sold at home centers in Indianapolis, but they are much more expensive per unit than bulk delivery. A 50-lb bag contains about 0.017–0.02 cubic yards (roughly 0.018 yd3) and will cover about 2 to 3 square feet at 2 to 3 inches depth. Buying by the bag is useful for very small touch-ups, but for any sizable area bulk delivery through Hello Gravel (minimum 3 tons) is almost always more cost-effective.

Material for a typical single-car 20 ft driveway (about 20x10 ft at 3 inches) is roughly 3.7 cubic yards (about 5.2 tons); material cost will depend on type but typically runs from about $75 to $250 for that quantity. Delivery is often included or low-cost with Hello Gravel in many neighborhoods, but optional tailgate spreading (when available) can add $50 to $200 depending on supplier and job complexity; Hello Gravel will show spread options and fees at checkout. Because spreading is at the driver’s discretion, get a specific quote and note spreading requests in Order Notes.

For small amounts (a few bags or a single yard), pickup or buying bags at a local store may be cheapest; for moderate projects (1–3 yards), a trailer rental can work if you have time and the right vehicle. For most homeowners and contractors doing driveways or larger projects, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel is the most cost-effective and convenient once you exceed a few cubic yards, thanks to lower per-yard pricing, no hauling, and no loading labor. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator and compare total costs including truck rental, fuel, time, and labor to choose the best option for your job.
