Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and haulers in your zip code so you can see available stone types, pricing, and delivery options.

For driveways, 3/4" crushed stone or #57 angular stone is a common choice for a stable top layer, often placed over a 4-6" larger crushed-stone base for support. Walkways can use 3/8" crushed stone or small crushed gravel for a smoother walking surface, while larger 1-2" stone is best for drainage areas or base layers.

As a rule of thumb, 100 sq ft at 2" depth needs about 0.62 tons of stone, and at 3" depth about 0.93 tons (using the standard conversion for gravel). Always round up and add 10-15% for compaction, waste, and uneven surfaces, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.

Yes — angular crushed stone improves surface and sub-surface drainage compared with clay alone, making it a good choice in Hartford's clay soils and heavy summer rains. For best results use a compacted granular base, slope the surface for runoff, and consider geotextile fabric to separate stone from clay and reduce mixing.

With proper installation and routine maintenance (occasional regrading and top dressing), a stone driveway in West Kentucky can perform well for 10 to 30 years depending on traffic and base preparation. Expect to do periodic maintenance after heavy rains or freeze/thaw cycles to keep the surface level and drainage working.

Crushed stone is angular and drains well, making it better for drainage layers and areas with poor soils, while crushed limestone contains finer particles that compact very firmly but can hold more water. In Hartford it is common to use a combination: crushed limestone or stone with fines for a firm base, and larger crushed stone on top or in drainage areas where water needs to move away quickly.

Spring thaw and heavy rains can make yard access muddy, and frozen ground can affect spreading and compaction, so scheduling deliveries in drier months is best when possible. Hello Gravel offers 2+ business day standard delivery and next-day options when available, but drivers will assess on-site conditions and tailgate spreading is at their discretion.

For a basic gravel driveway in Ohio County expect combined material and labor costs roughly in the range of $1.50 to $3.50 per sq ft depending on site prep needs, stone type, and local labor rates; material-only costs vary by stone and delivery but often fall between $20 and $45 per ton. Get several local contractor quotes because price varies with excavation, drainage work, and site access.

Most private residential gravel driveways in Hartford do not require permits, but curb cuts, driveway widenings, or work within the public right-of-way can require city or county approval. For commercial deliveries or large projects check with Hartford City Hall or the Ohio County planning office to confirm any local codes or permit requirements.

Excavate organic topsoil and unstable clay, install a geotextile fabric, then place a compacted 4-6" coarse stone subbase, followed by a top layer of your chosen crushed stone. Ensure a slight crown or slope for runoff, compact each layer in lifts, and add edge restraints where possible to prevent lateral spread.

In Hartford stone is commonly used for driveways, parking pads, landscaping beds, French drains, and shed bases. Before ordering, measure your area, choose the right stone size for the job, account for a 3-ton minimum order with Hello Gravel, and schedule delivery when ground access is good to avoid placement problems.
