Gravel in Lowes, KY

Prices in Lowes (West Kentucky) vary by type and supplier, but expect roughly $25 to $60 per ton for common gravels delivered. Final price depends on material (pea, crushed, road base), haul distance, and any local fees; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can give an exact delivered price when you enter your zip code.

Local, ungraded materials like bank run, crusher run (road base), or recycled crushed concrete are often the most economical options in West Kentucky. Availability and price depend on nearby quarries and contractors, so choosing locally sourced aggregate through Hello Gravel usually lowers cost.

A standard tri-axle dump truck commonly used in our service area carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel, though exact capacity varies by truck and material. Multiply the per-ton price by the number of tons (for example, 10 tons at $40/ton is about $400) and add any delivery fee; Hello Gravel will show delivered totals for your address and material choice.

Generally yes: small gravel and crushed stone are usually cheaper per ton than larger decorative rocks or boulders used for landscaping. However, coverage, appearance, and labor differ—larger rocks can cover less area and may cost more per square foot, so compare by both price and the look you need.

Coverage depends on depth and rock density. As a rule of thumb in Lowes: about 200–240 sq ft at 1 inch depth, roughly 100–120 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 50–60 sq ft at 4 inches; actual coverage varies with gravel type and compaction.

Using a 10–12 ton tri-axle as an example, one truck will cover about 1,200–1,440 sq ft at 2 inches depth or roughly 600–720 sq ft at 4 inches depth. Exact coverage depends on the truck's tonnage and the depth you plan to lay the gravel.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway; it works only as a light top dressing. For a stable residential driveway in West Kentucky we recommend building a well-compacted base and placing 4–6 inches of gravel (less for very light use, more for heavy vehicles), and consider local frost and soil conditions when deciding depth.

Cost depends on the driveway width and depth. For a single-car 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 4 inches depth you would need about 3.5–4 tons of gravel; at $30–$60/ton that material cost runs roughly $105–$240 plus delivery and any site prep.

A 20x20 (400 sq ft) driveway at 4 inches depth requires about 6.5–7.5 tons of gravel. Using typical local pricing of $30–$60/ton, expect material costs around $195–$450, with delivery, compaction, and site prep added as needed; Hello Gravel can provide an exact delivered quote for your zip code.

Buying bulk delivered material from local suppliers is usually the most cost-effective option versus bagged gravel. Choose locally sourced or recycled materials, pick up yourself if you have a truck, and order enough to meet the 3-ton minimum to lower per-ton costs.

Yes, many homeowners in Lowes can install gravel themselves if they plan properly: remove vegetation, grade and compact the base, install geotextile fabric if needed, spread base material, then add and compact the top gravel. For larger jobs, consider renting a plate compactor and ordering delivered material through Hello Gravel, or hire a local contractor if you prefer professional installation.

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.
