Common choices in the Florence area include crushed limestone (good for driveways because it compacts well), 3/4" crushed stone (strong base layer), pea gravel (attractive and drains well but can shift), and river rock (decorative, not ideal as a driving surface). Crushed stone and screenings are often used for base and binder layers in Kentucky's freeze-thaw and rainy conditions, while pea gravel or river rock are best for low-traffic decorative uses.

Estimating gravel depends on driveway area and depth. As a quick guide using 1.4 tons per cubic yard: a single-car driveway (about 10' x 40') at 4" depth needs roughly 7 tons, a standard two-car driveway (20' x 40') at 4" needs about 14 tons, and a heavier 6" base increases those totals by about 50%. Farm access roads are much larger; for example, a 12' wide by 100' long road at 6" depth needs about 31 tons, so plan quantities accordingly and add 5-10% for compaction and waste.

Freeze-thaw cycles and frequent rain in Northern Kentucky can cause rutting, washouts, and fines migration in gravel surfaces. Well-graded crushed stone with an adequate compacted base resists movement better, while pea gravel and loose river rock may shift and require more frequent regrading. To reduce maintenance, use good drainage, a crowned grade, geotextile fabric where needed, and plan for periodic grading and adding material every 1-3 years depending on traffic.

Yes, Hello Gravel connects customers to local suppliers in the Florence area and can request washed gravel or screened products when available from suppliers. If you need installation, select installation services or note that you want contractor referrals at checkout; always ask contractors for references, written estimates, and proof of insurance before hiring.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost but higher ongoing maintenance: typical installed gravel costs are often around $1-$3 per square foot, while asphalt typically runs $3-$7 per square foot and concrete $6-$12 per square foot, depending on local rates. Gravel needs periodic grading and topping (often every 1-5 years), whereas asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but lower routine material replacements; choose based on budget, desired lifespan, and local drainage and freeze-thaw conditions.

Hello Gravel usually requires a 3-ton minimum order, delivers with contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle), and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety.

Plan to order an extra 5-10% for clean layouts and light compaction, and up to 10-15% if ground is uneven or you will spread by hand. For high-traffic driveways or roads where heavier compaction will occur, consider the higher end of that range to avoid running short during install.

Local rules vary: some Florence neighborhoods or HOAs have restrictions on surface material, curb cuts, or driveway widths, and Florence/Boone County may have stormwater or setback rules that affect installations. Check your HOA covenants and contact city or county permitting offices before ordering to avoid having to change materials or layout later.

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

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.
