Gravel in Glendale, NY

Prices vary by type and local supply, but expect ranges in the Glendale/NYC metro area: pea gravel $40-$75/ton, #57 crushed stone $35-$60/ton, and crushed concrete $15-$35/ton. Final price depends on supplier, delivery distance, and seasonal demand; check our checkout for live local pricing.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Delivery fees in the NYC metro can range from $0 to about $150 depending on truck access, distance, and site conditions; many orders qualify for free delivery—see checkout for exact fees and available dates.

Angular crushed stone (for example #57 or 3/4" crushed rock) is usually best because it compacts and locks together for traction and resists displacement by snowplows. Avoid pure pea gravel on driveways that will be plowed; pea gravel moves easily and is harder to clear after snow.

For a stable gravel driveway in Glendale, aim for a compacted base of 4" to 6" of crushed stone plus a 1" to 2" wearing layer. Typical tonnage estimates using 1.4 tons per cubic yard: 1-car (10x20 ft) 4" ~3.5 tons, 6" ~5.2 tons; 2-car (20x20 ft) 4" ~6.9 tons, 6" ~10.4 tons; 3-car (30x20 ft) 4" ~13.0 tons, 6" ~15.6 tons.

Rules vary: in Queens, changing a private yard to gravel usually does not need a building permit, but curb cuts or new driveway openings typically require NYC DOT permits and possibly a DOB filing. Always check your HOA rules and call 311 or the NYC Department of Buildings and DOT before changing driveway curb lines or impervious surface coverage.

Installed costs vary by prep and choices; expect roughly $3 to $8 per square foot for a professionally installed gravel driveway that includes grading, base prep, geotextile, edging, and top dressing. For typical 2-car driveways that often equals about $1,200 to $3,200, depending on site access, material choice, and contractor rates.

Plan for light maintenance every year and larger regrading or topping every 2 to 4 years after heavy winters. Typical annual costs are modest: regrading or minor topping might be $100-$400, while adding a few tons of gravel to refresh the surface can cost $100-$300 depending on material and delivery.

Gravel allows infiltration, so it reduces surface runoff and can help with wetter periods common in the NYC area, provided you use a proper base and grading. Asphalt and pavers are more impervious and need stormwater controls; choose gravel when you want better infiltration but be sure to manage edges and slope to avoid washouts.

Pea gravel is more likely to be pushed or removed by plows because the round stones roll and do not lock together; crushed angular stone resists plow displacement and compacts better. Salt does not harm the stone itself but can harm nearby vegetation and metal; use edge restraints and larger crushed stone near plow paths to protect the surface.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request spreading at checkout but it is not guaranteed. Drivers will assess safety and access on arrival, so provide clear delivery notes and easy truck access to improve chances.

Gravel is sourced regionally, so color, texture, and stone shape reflect local geology and quarry processing. Small variations are normal; if color or gradation is important, note preferences in Order Notes or contact our team before ordering.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
