Gravel in North Liberty, IN

Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect roughly $30 to $65 per ton for common landscape and driveway gravels delivered to small West Indiana towns like North Liberty. One cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.6 tons, so cubic-yard pricing will reflect that; use our material calculator or request a quote for an exact delivered price. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and local sourcing means prices can shift by season and supplier availability.

For Indiana's freeze-thaw cycles, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or #57) is a common choice because it locks together and drains well, reducing frost heave. Washed gravel and crushed limestone also perform well as bases, while pea gravel is best used as a top dressing or for patios where compaction is less critical. For drainage trenches, use clean, washed stone (1/2" to 1") to keep water moving away from structures.

Approximate needs (assuming 4" finished depth): 1-car driveway (12' x 20'): about 3 cubic yards or 4.5 to 5 tons. 2-car driveway (20' x 20'): about 5 cubic yards or 7 to 8 tons. 12' x 12' patio at 2" depth: ~0.9 cubic yards or 1 to 1.5 tons. 10' x 20' parking pad at 4": ~2.5 cubic yards or 3.5 to 4.5 tons. These are estimates; soil, compaction, and desired depths change quantities, so use our calculator or request a site-specific quote.

Plan gravel deliveries and installation in late spring through early fall when the ground is not frozen and soils are drier, which improves compaction and grading. Avoid heavy-rain periods and frozen ground because saturated or frozen soil makes proper compaction difficult and can lead to uneven settling. If you need winter delivery, discuss timing with your supplier and expect possible delays or additional fees.

With regular upkeep—annual light grading and reserve infill every 2 to 5 years—a well-built gravel driveway in North Liberty can perform for many years. High-traffic areas or places with poor drainage will need attention more often and may require adding several inches of gravel every 3 to 7 years. Proper base construction and drainage are the biggest factors affecting lifespan.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is easiest to repair, typically costing around $1 to $3 per square foot installed, but it requires more maintenance over time. Asphalt is mid-range in cost and provides a smoother surface with less frequent upkeep, while concrete is the most expensive up front but can last longest with minimal maintenance. Choose gravel for rural or budget projects and where permeability is desired; choose asphalt or concrete where a smooth, low-maintenance surface is required.

On clay or loam soils common near North Liberty, install a geotextile fabric, then a 6" to 8" compacted base of angular crushed stone (3/4" minus) and a 2" to 3" wearing course of #57 or similar. Compact each layer with a plate compactor or roller and ensure good subgrade drainage to prevent waterlogging and frost issues. For heavy vehicle use, increase base thickness and consider engineered subbase and edge restraints to control spreading.

Requirements vary: some municipalities, county offices, and HOAs have rules on driveway materials, setbacks, curb cuts, and stormwater. Contact the North Liberty town office or St. Joseph County building/engineering department and check any HOA guidelines before ordering or installing gravel. If you use Hello Gravel, we can include delivery notes for permit-related needs, but it's your responsibility to secure approvals.

Contractor-installed gravel driveways (grading, base, compaction, and top coat) commonly range from about $2 to $6 per square foot depending on scope and site conditions. For large deliveries, hauling and spreading fees vary; some haulers will tailgate-spread for an additional charge while others only dump and leave spreading to the contractor. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with optional next-day service and notes that tailgate spreading is at the driver’s discretion.

Ensure the delivery area is accessible for a tri-axle dump truck, clear overhead obstacles and mark drop location with stakes or cones, and note any narrow entrances or weight-limited driveways in order notes. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, standard delivery in 2+ business days, and next-day options for qualifying orders; drivers may spread at their discretion, so arrange spreading with a contractor if you need guaranteed leveling. If street dumping or special placement is required, check local rules and mention it when you order.

Remove debris and vegetation from the drop area, stake the boundaries, and mark underground utilities or sprinkler systems so drivers and contractors avoid damage. Make sure there is adequate truck turning room and a firm access point; soft or saturated driveways may not safely support dump trucks. Communicate any site constraints in your Hello Gravel order notes and call customer service if you need delivery guidance.

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