1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Ludlow Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ludlow has a city population of 210, set within a broader metro area population of 2.3+ million, and that local scale shapes steady, practical demand for building and landscaping materials. A growth rate of 0.40% annually points to modest, continuous development rather than rapid booms—meaning homeowners can expect regular but predictable needs for repairs, driveways, garden beds, and small additions rather than sudden large-scale construction. With about 228 sunny days per year and average annual rainfall of 33.90 inches in a hardiness zone of 8b, the climate supports year-round outdoor work while still requiring attention to drainage and erosion control. For local projects, that translates into choosing materials that balance permeability, stability, and aesthetics—from base layers for paths to top dressings for planting beds. Quality bulk supplies like gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone matter here because they influence how long a surface lasts, how plants establish, and how water moves across a property.Popular Projects in Ludlow This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ludlow Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ludlow.
Homeowners in Ludlow typically choose from a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the job. These materials are used for driveways, base layers, top dressings, garden beds, and drainage features. The right choice depends on load needs, appearance, and how the material handles water in West Missouri.
Pick a material based on function first (load bearing, drainage, or decorative), then consider appearance, local availability, and budget. For heavy use like driveways choose a stable, well-graded aggregate and for garden or drainage areas choose more permeable options. If you are unsure, use a material calculator or contact our team for guidance tailored to local conditions.
Ludlow experiences freeze-thaw cycles and periods of heavy rain, so materials that resist washout and compact well are often better for driveways and paths. Permeable choices help manage runoff, while denser, well-draining bases reduce frost heave. Account for seasonal moisture when planning installation timing and long-term maintenance.
Many properties in West Missouri have variable soils and drainage, so testing or inspecting the site first helps determine whether extra base, grading, or geotextile is needed. Poorly draining or soft soils may require a thicker base or stabilizing layer beneath aggregates. Designing with proper slope and drainage channels will extend the life of any material you install.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks, usually tri-axle, and you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout. Always check availability for your Ludlow zip code before ordering.
Yes. Many rural properties have access limits such as narrow roads, low-hanging wires, steep driveways, or soft ground that can restrict truck access. Minimum orders apply (usually 3 tons) and drivers will assess tailgate spreading on arrival; it may not be possible in every situation. If you have access concerns, note them in Order Notes and contact our team before delivery.
Clear the planned drop zone of vehicles, toys, and obstacles, and mark the area with flags or stakes so the driver can see where to put the load. Protect nearby landscaping, fences, and hardscapes from potential truck damage and communicate any special instructions in the Order Notes. Be present or have someone available to direct the driver when the truck arrives.
Quantities vary by project, but small garden beds often need 1 to 3 cubic yards, a walkway 2 to 6 cubic yards, and an average residential driveway 20 to 50 cubic yards depending on size and depth. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard of aggregate typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons depending on the material. Use our online calculator for a site-specific estimate before ordering.
Compare quotes on a per cubic yard and per-ton basis, and factor in delivery fees, distance, and any required spreading or site prep. Consider long-term costs like maintenance and replenishment as well as initial price. Hello Gravel provides transparent, local pricing and an online quote so you can compare options for your Ludlow project.
Possibly. City, county, or HOA rules can affect driveway work, visible landscaping changes, and excavation, so check Ludlow city or Carroll County regulations and any HOA covenants before ordering. Securing approvals ahead of time helps avoid delays or work stoppages once materials are delivered.
Most aggregate surfaces need periodic grading, occasional replenishment, and weed control to stay functional and attractive. Maintenance frequency depends on material type, traffic levels, and local weather; rural driveways may need more frequent regrading after heavy rains. Plan for routine inspections and spot repairs to extend the life of the installation.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; changes are easier before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications may not be possible once trucks are scheduled. Refer to our order terms or call customer service for immediate help.

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.
