Gravel in Nixa, MO

Costs vary by material, distance, and job size, but expect material plus delivery in Nixa to commonly fall in the range of about $30 to $60 per ton for common gravels (crushed limestone or crusher run). Delivery fees for small jobs may be a flat charge or included for nearby suppliers; optional tailgate spreading can add a driver fee or be declined at the driver's discretion.

Crusher run (graded crushed stone) and 3/4" crushed limestone are usually best in Nixa because their angular particles lock together and resist shifting in freeze-thaw cycles and clay subsoils. Washed crushed stone or crushed rock is recommended for drainage areas where frost heave is a concern; avoid very smooth river rock for driveways since it can migrate on slopes and in wet periods. Local sourcing matters, so regional mixes will reflect West Missouri geology and perform differently — request product specs at checkout.

A 20x40 foot area at 6-inch depth is about 14.8 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 21 tons of 3/4" crusher run using a common conversion factor (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard). We recommend ordering 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading, so plan on about 22 to 23 tons. Hello Gravel’s material calculator can generate this estimate for your exact dimensions and preferred depth.

Gravel driveways typically have lower upfront material costs than asphalt or concrete but require periodic maintenance like grading and adding fresh material every few years, especially after heavy Missouri rains or freeze-thaw cycles. Asphalt and concrete generally last longer with less routine topping but cost more to install; repair costs for paved surfaces can be higher when problems occur. For many Nixa homeowners a properly built and maintained gravel driveway is the most cost-effective choice over the first 10 years, but consider long-term use, traffic, and local drainage when choosing.

Common maintenance actions include regrading with a box blade or landscape rake, adding fresh crusher run or fines to low spots, and installing proper edging to keep material contained. Contractors often use compaction (vibratory plate or roller) after spreading new material and recommend installing or repairing drainage features like swales or culverts to prevent washouts. Hello Gravel can deliver material quickly after a storm so you can stabilize problem areas, and our sales team can advise on amounts to order.

Yes, gravel is commonly used in French drains in Nixa; washed, angular stone such as 3/4" to 1 1/2" clean crushed stone or pea gravel (for filter layers) is recommended because it drains well and resists clogging. Avoid using crusher run or material with fines directly next to perforated pipe unless separated by filter fabric, because fines from clay soils can migrate and reduce drainage effectiveness. For best results in clay-rich West Missouri soils, use washed stone and geotextile fabric to keep the system flowing.

Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA, so some Nixa HOAs or municipal design standards may require specific materials, colors, or edging for front-yard driveways. City regulations in Nixa generally cover driveway setbacks and curb cuts rather than specifying exact gravel types, but you should check your HOA covenants and city planning or public works before ordering. If you need help, Hello Gravel’s team can point you to local contacts so you can confirm any restrictions before purchase.

Suppliers quote material either by the ton or by the cubic yard; because different gravels have different densities, one cubic yard can weigh roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons. For crushed limestone commonly used in Nixa, a good rule of thumb is about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, so per-ton pricing often looks lower than per-yard pricing if you don't convert units. Ask suppliers or use Hello Gravel’s calculator to compare quotes apples-to-apples for your project measurements and the specific material you need.

Yes, many local contractors in the West Missouri area provide full gravel driveway installation services including subgrade prep, compaction, edging, grading, and final spreading. Hello Gravel can connect you to local haulers and suppliers; for installation, ask for recommended contractors or check local listings for landscape and site contractors that advertise compaction and grading services. When hiring, confirm whether they provide final compaction and edge restraint installation and request references or photos of similar Nixa-area jobs.
