Gravel in Floral Park, NY

Typical gravel prices in Floral Park for basic crushed stone or pea gravel range from about $30 to $65 per ton, depending on the type and supplier. One cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.4 tons, so expect about $40 to $90 per cubic yard for material only; delivery and any spreading add to the total. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and often includes delivery in many areas, so check your zip code and the checkout estimate for final pricing.

Common choices in Floral Park include 3/4" crushed stone (good base), #57 stone (drainage and driveways), pea gravel (decorative, comfortable to walk on), and river rock (larger decorative stone for beds and drainage). Regional suppliers may offer slight color and texture variations due to local geology, so request photos or notes at checkout if color matters. For driveways, angular crushed stone generally locks together better than smooth river rock.

Freeze-thaw cycles and snowplowing can cause rutting, compaction, and migration of fines in Floral Park. Regular maintenance like seasonal raking, adding 1/2 to 1 inch of fresh gravel yearly, regrading low spots, and avoiding metal-blade plows directly on the gravel helps extend performance. If road salt is used nearby, rinse and replenish fines as salt can accelerate breakdown of some aggregates.

Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood and whether your property sits in the Village of Floral Park or the Nassau County side. Many HOAs have design guidelines on surface materials and edging, and some villages require a driveway permit or curb cut permit for changes. Before ordering, contact your local building department or HOA to confirm requirements and avoid rework.

Measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide on the depth in inches. Use the formula: cubic yards = (length ft x width ft x depth in) / 324, then convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.4 (tons per cubic yard for most crushed stone). For example, a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 4 inches deep: (20 x 10 x 4)/324 = 2.47 cubic yards, or roughly 3.5 tons.

For a typical residential driveway in Floral Park, aim for a 4 to 6 inch compacted base of crushed stone over a geotextile if the soil is poor, with a 1 to 2 inch wearing layer on top. Heavier vehicles or poor subgrade conditions benefit from a deeper base of 6 to 8 inches. Proper grading, compaction with a plate or roller, and edge restraints will reduce migration and maintenance.

Common stabilization methods include placing geotextile fabric under the gravel, installing gravel grid/paver systems, and using angular crushed stone bases topped with smaller fines for locking. Gravel grids and polymer stabilizers reduce rutting and migration and are especially helpful in driveways exposed to snowplows or heavy vehicles. Edge restraints and proper drainage also significantly improve long-term performance.

Hello Gravel serves Floral Park through local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets; availability depends on your zip code. Our service has a 3-ton minimum, typical deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks, standard lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is an option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed.

Gravel is generally the lowest upfront cost and easy to install, but it requires more ongoing maintenance like regrading and topping up. Asphalt is more expensive initially, provides a smooth surface for snowplowing, and offers better long-term durability with periodic sealcoating. Pavers are the most expensive but offer the best aesthetics and repairability; local regulations or HOA rules may influence your choice.

For drainage trenches and erosion control, use larger washed stone such as 3/4" crushed stone, #57 stone, or river rock, which allow water to pass through while resisting movement. For surface erosion on slopes, combine a geotextile underlay with angular crushed stone or install check dams of larger rock to slow flow. Always match stone size to the expected flow and consult local stormwater rules for channels near public drains.

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