Stone in Riverside, MO

Delivered stone in West Missouri commonly falls in the roughly $30 to $60 per ton range, depending on the stone type, distance from the quarry, and order size. Prices can vary by supplier and seasonal demand; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can give an exact delivered price when you enter your zip code. Ask about truck fees or next-day delivery charges if you need material quickly. Always confirm the final price in checkout before ordering.

Common options near Riverside include crushed limestone (most common in West Missouri), crushed granite, river rock/cobble, pea gravel, and crusher run (screenings plus fines). Appearance and texture vary by local geology, so color and shape may differ from online photos. Tell us your preferred look in Order Notes and we will try to match regional supply. Contractors often choose limestone or crusher run for driveways and granite or river rock for decorative uses.

A quick rule: one cubic yard of compacted stone equals roughly 1.3 to 1.5 tons (use 1.4 tons as a practical average). For example, a 12 ft by 40 ft driveway at 4 inches depth equals about 5.9 cubic yards or roughly 8 to 9 tons, so you would order 9 tons to allow for compaction and waste. Always round up and factor in local grading needs; use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate. Remember our 3-ton minimum when planning small jobs.

Stone generally performs well in Riverside’s freeze-thaw cycles if installed with a stable base and good drainage; it does not crack like concrete. Heavy rains can cause migration or washouts on poorly prepared slopes, so proper subbase, slope control, and edge restraints are important. Use coarser grades or crusher run for base courses and 3/4" or similar for the wearing surface to reduce displacement. Regular maintenance after big storms will keep the surface stable.

Yes — many Riverside properties have clay or softer soils that benefit from a geotextile fabric to separate subgrade from aggregate and prevent rutting. For driveways, a common approach is 4 to 6 inches of compacted crusher run or 2A modified as a base, topped with 2 to 3 inches of surface stone. Use edge restraints and proper compaction equipment for best results. If your site is very low or wet, a thicker base or heavier structural section may be required.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who typically deliver within about 20 to 50 miles of Riverside, depending on quarry location and truck availability; some suppliers can go farther for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle) with a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery lead time of 2+ business days. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion. Enter your zip code at checkout to see exact pricing and delivery windows.

Use a compacted crusher run or 2A modified base for structural support, and consider geotextile fabric on clay or soft soils to improve longevity. Edge restraints (timber, concrete, or metal) help keep stone confined, and adding a small percentage of fines in the base layer improves compaction. For drainage control on slopes, build shallow swales or install permeable edging to avoid washouts. Ask our team about local supplier options for base mixes and delivery-ready blends.

A well-installed stone driveway can last 5 to 20 years depending on traffic, base quality, and maintenance; lighter-use paths last longer with minimal upkeep. Typical maintenance is low-cost: periodic grading, adding one to a few tons of stone every 2 to 5 years, and occasional compaction after heavy weather. Compared with repaving, annual maintenance is inexpensive but recurring; keep a small budget for regrading and top-ups. For a precise local estimate, provide project dimensions so we can calculate tonnage and likely upkeep needs.

Stone is usually less expensive upfront, provides superior surface drainage, and is easier to repair or extend than asphalt or concrete. Asphalt and concrete offer a smoother, lower-maintenance surface and are often better for heavy vehicles and snow-plow operations, but they cost more to install. Choose stone if budget, permeability, and ease of future repairs matter; choose asphalt or concrete if you need a low-maintenance, hard surface for heavy, frequent traffic. Contact our team to compare estimated installed costs and material recommendations for your specific site.

Yes, you can request color or texture preferences in your Order Notes, and Hello Gravel will pass that request to local suppliers. Because materials are regionally sourced, exact color and size can vary due to local geology, so we cannot guarantee a perfect match to photos. If appearance is critical, ask for a sample or small test delivery before placing a large order. Our team can help identify supplier options that best match your desired look.

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

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.
