Gravel in Muncie, IN

A typical tri-axle dump truck serving Muncie carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 17 tons) of gravel. Final price depends on material type and delivery, but in the Muncie area expect to pay per-ton delivered rates that vary by supplier and stone type; use Hello Gravel to get an exact quote for your zip code and preferred delivery date.

Buying bulk delivered material is almost always cheaper than buying bagged gravel for most Muncie projects. Compare local suppliers through Hello Gravel, order at least our 3-ton minimum to avoid per-bag premiums, and schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) to keep costs down.

Natural river gravel can sometimes be cheaper, but crushed stone (like Indiana limestone) is commonly available around Muncie and often priced competitively. Local availability, required processing, and delivery distance are the biggest cost drivers, so check local quotes before deciding.

Gravel alone will not harden like concrete, but blends with fines such as crusher run or stone dust compacted tightly can form a hard, stable surface. For true concrete-like strength, a cement-stabilized mix or polymer stabilizer is required; discuss options with Hello Gravel if you need a hardened surface in Muncie.

Using the common rule that 1 cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at 1" depth and that 1 cubic yard is about 1.4 tons, a 10 yd truckload covers roughly 3,240 sq ft at 1" depth or about 1,620 sq ft at 2" depth. Coverage changes with stone type and compaction, so use our material calculator or contact us with your dimensions for a precise amount.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway that will carry vehicles in Muncie. A common recommendation is 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone for a base plus 2 to 3 inches of top material depending on traffic; local freeze-thaw cycles in Indiana make a proper base and good drainage especially important.

You can, but it's not ideal. For a longer-lasting surface in Muncie you should remove vegetation, grade and compact the subgrade, add a geotextile fabric if needed, install a compacted base layer of crushed stone, then add the finished gravel to prevent washout and rutting.

Tractor Supply and similar retailers often carry bagged decorative gravels and sometimes small bulk orders at select locations, but availability varies by store in the Muncie area. For bulk deliveries and scheduled truck service, Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers for more consistent options.

Cost depends on width, depth, and material. Estimate by computing area and depth to get cubic yards or tons, then multiply by your local delivered price; for example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3" depth is about 1.9 cubic yards (roughly 2.6 tons), so multiply that tonnage by local per-ton delivered rates to get a realistic Muncie price.

Gravel or crushed limestone is often the most economical driveway surface in and around Muncie, especially when purchased in bulk and properly installed. Long-term durability depends on proper base preparation and drainage, so factor installation steps into your cost comparison.

Avoid pea gravel where you need a stable, compacted surface such as driveways, steep slopes, or areas with heavy vehicle traffic in Muncie because it shifts and migrates. Pea gravel works well for drainage, decorative beds, and pathways where a loose, natural look is desirable.

A 50 lb bag of gravel equals roughly 0.5 cubic foot, so it will cover about 6 sq ft at a 1" depth or about 3 sq ft at a 2" depth. Bagged gravel is convenient for small landscaping tasks around Muncie, but for larger projects bulk delivery is more cost-effective.

"Poor man's concrete" commonly refers to compacted crusher-run or gravel with fines that creates a firm surface without actual cement. It can work for temporary pads or low-cost driveways in Muncie, but it won't match the strength or longevity of poured concrete, especially with Indiana freeze-thaw conditions.

The 20/30/40 rule is a shorthand used in concrete mix design (percentages of cement, sand, and aggregate) and is not directly a gravel-selection rule for landscaping. For Muncie projects you should focus on aggregate size, angularity, and fines based on the application (base versus topcoat) rather than that concrete rule.

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