Gravel in North Norwich, NY

For 100 sq ft at 3" depth you need about 25 cubic feet of material, which is roughly 0.93 cubic yards. Crushed stone usually weighs about 1.3 tons for that volume, so plan on 1.3 tons and round up for compaction and waste. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, consider ordering at least 3 tons or coordinate with neighbors for a shared delivery.

Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in many areas and often shows free delivery at checkout, but fees vary by supplier and distance from the local pit. If a delivery fee applies in North Norwich, expect a local range roughly $40 to $150 depending on trip length and quantity; optional tailgate spreading, when available, is at the driver's discretion and may carry an extra fee of about $40 to $100. Always check your zip code on our site for an exact estimate and request spreading in the Order Notes if you want the driver to consider it.

In Chenango County's freeze-thaw and snowy conditions choose angular crushed stone that locks together—3/4" crushed stone for surfaces and 1" to 1.5" clean stone for the base. Avoid round pea gravel for driveways because it shifts under snowplows and traffic; crusher-run (a mix of stone and fines) makes a good compacted base but use a coarser top layer for drainage. Proper base depth and drainage are as important as stone choice to minimize frost heave.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which fits most residential projects; we connect you with local suppliers who may offer smaller bags or pickups but those options are outside our standard dump-truck deliveries. For truly small batches, check local landscape suppliers or garden centers in the North Norwich area, or contact our team to see if a nearby supplier can accommodate a partial load or coordinated delivery. We recommend planning loads to match the 3-ton minimum or sharing an order with a neighbor when practical.

Clay subsoil holds water and slows drainage, which increases frost heave and rutting during freeze-thaw cycles common in upstate New York. A proper build-up—excavation to stable soil, geotextile fabric when needed, and a well-compacted crushed-stone base with good surface crown and side drainage—will greatly extend the driveway's life. If you have clay, plan on more thorough base work and thicker stone layers than you would on sandy soil.

Salt itself doesn't dissolve rock, but repeated salting and melting cycles can move fines and speed surface raveling in mixes with a lot of dust or soft fines. Salt also harms nearby vegetation and can accelerate corrosion of metal fixtures; for driveways, using a coarse, angular surface stone and periodic replenishing of the top layer helps reduce displacement. Consider mechanical snow removal and using sand or cinders for traction in sensitive landscaped areas to limit salt use.

Gravel is usually the most cost-effective for rural North Norwich driveways and is easier to repair after frost heaves or plowing, but it requires periodic grading and more frequent topping. Asphalt gives a smoother, lower-maintenance surface for passenger vehicles but costs significantly more upfront and can be damaged by freeze-thaw unless installed over a proper base. Pavers are the most expensive but offer decorative looks and good drainage if installed correctly; for heavy snow-plow use, choose durable edge restraint and consider lift risks from freeze-thaw.

For a typical residential driveway in North Norwich aim for 6" to 12" of compacted crushed stone base (6" for light use, 8" to 12" for regular truck traffic) topped with 2" to 3" of crushed stone surface. Compact each layer thoroughly with a plate compactor or roller and shape the surface with a 1/8" to 1/4" per foot crown to shed water to the sides. On clay or poor soils, add geotextile fabric and increase base depth to reduce frost heave and rutting.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
