Gravel in Pineville, LA

A single truckload price in Pineville depends on material and truck size, but expect roughly $150 to $800 per load delivered. Local crushed stone and bank-run gravel tend to be on the lower end, while decorative or specialty gravels are pricier.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and covers about 324 divided by depth in inches. For example, 1 yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Use these numbers to estimate materials for paths, driveways, or patios.

The most economical approach is to buy in bulk from a local supplier or order delivery through a marketplace like Hello Gravel to combine negotiated material and trucking rates. Choose locally sourced basic grades like bank-run or crusher-run, order during slower seasons if possible, and avoid specialty decorative gravels when cost is the priority. Picking up material yourself can save on delivery if you have an appropriate vehicle and trailer.

Prices vary by source, but crushed stone (processed rock) is often slightly more expensive than naturally rounded gravel due to crushing and screening costs. Local availability matters: if river or pit gravel is common near Pineville, it can be cheaper than crushed stone shipped from farther away. Ask suppliers for local pricing comparisons before ordering.

No — 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway. For a long-lasting surface in Pineville's wet climate, aim for at least 4 inches of compacted gravel over a well-prepared base, and 6 inches or more for heavier vehicle traffic. Also prepare the subgrade, add proper drainage, and consider a geotextile fabric on clay-rich soils common in the area.

Costs depend on width, depth, and material. A single-car 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 4 inches depth needs about 2.5 cubic yards; with local material and delivery, expect roughly $150 to $500 as a ballpark. For a more precise price, provide dimensions and desired gravel type to get a local quote.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically carries about 2 to 3 cubic yards of loose gravel, depending on side height and how high the load is piled. That equals roughly 3 to 5 tons for common gravel types, but check your trailer's weight limits before loading. For larger projects in Pineville, a tri-axle truck delivery is usually more efficient.

Basic mixes like bank-run gravel, crusher-run (also called road base), and crushed limestone screenings are typically the most affordable in Central Louisiana. Decorative gravels, pea gravel, and washed stone cost more because of processing and sorting. Local suppliers around Pineville often stock cheaper base materials used for driveways and roads.

Coverage depends on the truck size and depth you want. A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers around 10 to 14 cubic yards; at 3 inches depth that covers roughly 1,080 to 1,512 square feet, and at 4 inches about 810 to 1,134 square feet. Confirm the actual cubic yards with the supplier before calculating final coverage for your Pineville project.

You can, but it often leads to problems unless you prepare the site. Remove vegetation, grade and compact the subgrade, and add a base layer or geotextile fabric to prevent mixing with clay-rich soils common in Pineville. Proper preparation improves drainage and helps the gravel stay in place through heavy local rains.

Tractor Supply stores commonly sell bagged decorative and landscaping gravels and sometimes offer bulk pick-up or pallet orders, but bulk loose delivery varies by location. For larger loads or scheduled truck delivery in Pineville, check with local suppliers or use Hello Gravel to arrange bulk delivery and compare options. Call your local Tractor Supply to confirm what they have in stock.

There is no gravel that becomes true concrete on its own, but products like polymeric gravel, resin-bound aggregate, or gravel stabilized with polymeric sand can lock stones together and create a firm, semi-rigid surface. These systems cost more than ordinary gravel but provide a harder, lower-dust surface suitable for walkways and patios. For driveways in Pineville, discuss these options with your supplier to weigh cost versus durability.

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