Gravel in Zionsville, IN

Typical delivered costs around Zionsville vary by material and quantity; expect a range roughly $15 to $50 per ton delivered depending on type (crushed limestone, pea gravel, etc.), seasonal demand, and distance from the quarry. Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and will show transparent per-ton pricing at checkout; minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Suppliers in West Indiana commonly offer crushed limestone (very common in Indiana), crushed stone (various sizes), pea gravel, and river rock. Regional geology means limestone-based products are prevalent around Zionsville, but you may also see local mixes and screenings; product names and exact appearance can vary by supplier.

A common build-up is a 4 to 6 inch compacted base of larger, angular stone (3/4" to 1 1/2") for strength, topped with 2 to 3 inches of 3/8" to 3/4" crushed stone or screenings for a smoother driving surface, giving a total of about 6 to 8 inches. For heavier vehicles or clay soils add extra base thickness and consider a geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with subgrade.

Freeze-thaw cycles and clay-rich subsoils common in this area can cause frost heave and rutting if the gravel is placed directly on a soft subgrade. To reduce problems, build a well-draining, compacted base, maintain a crown toward the edges for runoff, and add more durable base stone or geotextile where drainage is poor; regular maintenance also limits long-term damage.

Most residential driveway installs do not require a building permit, but permits or approvals may be needed if you alter a public right-of-way, perform a curb cut, or change stormwater flow. Check with the Town of Zionsville Public Works and Boone County Planning before starting work, and also confirm any HOA or neighborhood restrictions.

Use a rule of thumb of about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on material density; 1.4 tons per cubic yard is a good mid-range estimate for crushed stone. Formula: cubic yards x 1.4 = estimated tons (for example, 10 cubic yards x 1.4 = 14 tons); use Hello Gravel's calculator or request a supplier density for the most accurate estimate.

For drainage use clean, washed aggregate like #57 stone (3/4" to 1") or 1 to 1.5 inch crushed stone, which allows water to flow through while resisting compaction. For slope or channel erosion control larger riprap (3" to 6") or graded rock may be appropriate; because local soils can be clayey, pair drainage rock with proper outlets or underdrains to avoid ponding.

With a proper base and routine care, gravel driveways in this climate can perform well for 5 to 20 years before a major rebuild is needed; expect to add fresh stone or regrade every 1 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather. Annual maintenance costs are modest for most homeowners (often tens to a few hundred dollars per year) while periodic resurfacing or topping may cost more; Hello Gravel can send materials as needed.

Minimum order through Hello Gravel is 3 tons, which aligns with many local supplier minimums, and most quarry/hauler combos serve customers within roughly 15 to 40 miles of the source. Exact delivery radius and any small-order surcharges vary by supplier; enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see local availability and firm delivery pricing.

Gravel is typically the lowest upfront cost, is permeable, and is easy to repair, but it requires ongoing maintenance and can shift in freeze-thaw cycles. Asphalt has higher upfront cost and is less permeable but gives a smoother, lower-maintenance surface for 10 to 20 years; pavers are the most expensive initially but offer durability and curb appeal if properly installed. Consider budget, desired look, drainage needs, and long-term maintenance when choosing, and get local quotes for accurate comparisons.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
