Stone in Miami, MO

Delivered stone in and around Miami, MO commonly ranges from about $20 to $50 per ton, depending on stone size, type, and distance to the quarry. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows upfront pricing for your zip code; special blends or next-day delivery will add to the price.

For driveways in Miami, MO, 3/4" crushed stone or #57 mix is a common choice for the top wearing layer because it compacts well and sheds water. For drainage and French drains, use clean 3/4" to 1-1/2" stone or washed angular stone; avoid fine, clay-rich mixes that hold moisture in our humid summers.

Estimate cubic yards with: cubic yards = area (sq ft) * depth (in) / 324, then convert to tons using about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for typical crushed stone. For example, a 12' x 50' (600 sq ft) driveway at 4" depth needs about 600*4/324 = 7.41 cubic yards, or roughly 10.4 tons.

Miami, MO experiences hot, humid summers and freeze-thaw cycles in winter that can shift surface stone if not properly installed. Use angular crushed stone with good compaction and a stable base, add edge restraints, and avoid mixes with lots of fines if you want better long-term stability.

Hello Gravel connects you with regional suppliers; for Miami, MO typical sourcing is regional quarries and pit sites within roughly 50 miles to keep costs down and reflect local geology.

Crushed stone (angular) packs and locks together better than round river rock or pea gravel, so it tends to be more stable for driveways in Miami's conditions. Crushed limestone can be similar but may generate more fines and dust; pea gravel and river rock are lower-cost decorative options but require more maintenance and edging to stay in place.

Contractor installation costs vary by site prep, access, and edging, but expect combined material and installed pricing roughly $3 to $10 per square foot in West Missouri. Projects with heavy grading, drainage work, or truck access limits will be toward the higher end; get site-specific quotes through Hello Gravel or local contractors.

Start with a well-graded base and geotextile fabric where needed, use proper edge restraints (concrete, timber, or metal), and compact layers with a plate compactor as you go. Regrade and add a thin top dressing of stone every 2-4 years, clear vegetation promptly, and avoid overwatering nearby areas to reduce washouts in humid months.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request spreading at checkout but it is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and driver safety. For precise spreading or fine grading, plan to hire a local contractor or request professional installation.

Rules vary by township, county, and HOA. Before ordering stone for a driveway or front-yard project in Miami, MO, check with your local city or county building department and your HOA (if applicable) to confirm material and setback rules.

The best window is late spring through early fall when the ground is not frozen and compaction is most effective. Avoid major installations during the wettest times or right before freezing conditions; Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery when ordered before noon CST and standard delivery in 2+ business days.

Use the cubic yards formula: cubic yards = area (sq ft) * depth (in) / 324, then multiply by 1.4 for tons. For example, a 4' x 20' walkway (80 sq ft) at 3" needs 80*3/324 = 0.74 cubic yards, or about 1.0 ton, but Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum applies so plan accordingly.

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