Gravel in North Whiteplains, NY

One ton of typical crushed gravel will cover roughly 200 to 230 square feet at a 1-inch depth in North Whiteplains. At 2 inches it will cover about 100 to 115 square feet, and at 3 inches about 65 to 75 square feet. Exact coverage varies by stone size, moisture, and compaction, so use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a tailored estimate.

Most tri-axle dump trucks in our network deliver about 10 to 12 cubic yards of material, which, depending on the gravel type, typically equals roughly 12 to 20 tons. That amount will cover approximately 1,500 to 4,000 square feet at a 1-inch depth (less at thicker depths). Final numbers depend on the specific product and local compaction, so check your quote or ask our team for a site-specific calculation.

For North Whiteplains driveways, common choices are crushed stone (angular and locks together), pea gravel (small rounded stones for a softer look), and 3/4" crushed stone with fines for a stable base. Crushed stone performs best in freeze-thaw cycles because it compacts well and sheds water, while pea gravel may shift more and need edging. Consider traffic level and local drainage when selecting material.

Costs vary by material, depth, and delivery, but expect to pay for the gravel plus delivery and any preparation work. For example, a 20 ft by 40 ft driveway at a 3" finished depth typically needs about 8 to 12 tons of gravel; material plus delivery in Westchester-area markets can range widely, so total could be a few hundred to over a thousand dollars.

The least expensive options often include larger, locally-sourced crushed stone or bankrun gravel because they are abundant and require less processing. Recycled or construction-demolition aggregate can also be cheaper in some areas. Prices depend on local quarry availability and delivery distance, so check our site for localized pricing and options.

The three broad groups homeowners see are: crushed stone (angular, good compaction), pea gravel (rounded, decorative), and river rock (large rounded stones for drainage or accents). Crushed stone is preferred for structural uses like driveways and bases, while pea gravel and river rock are used for paths, drainage, and decorative beds. Regional quarrying in the Hudson Valley affects color and texture, so local samples are helpful.

Class A is typically a contractor term for a high-quality base material that contains a mix of stone sizes and fines so it compacts tightly. Visually it looks like angular crushed rock with smaller particles and dust mixed in, usually gray or brown depending on local stone. In North Whiteplains, Class A-style materials are often used for road base, underpinnings, and compacted driveway foundations.

Because Hello Gravel sources locally, color, size, and texture reflect nearby geology, so materials may vary from photos. Photos are representative, but exact color and gradation can differ across Westchester quarries and glacial deposits around North Whiteplains. If color or texture is important, request a photo or sample from your supplier when ordering.

Yes. The Hudson Valley and nearby quarries supply much of the gravel for Westchester County, so regional sourcing means materials reflect local glacial and river deposits. That matters for color, particle shape, and drainage performance—important factors for landscaping and driveways in North Whiteplains. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers so you get materials suited to your area.

North Whiteplains' cold winters and freeze-thaw cycles mean you should choose materials that compact well and shed water, such as angular crushed stone with proper fines for a stable base. Rounded gravels can move or rut under freeze-thaw unless contained and well-drained. Proper installation, good base preparation, and correct drainage are key to long-term performance in this climate.

Drivers may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee this service. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and site access upon arrival. If spreading is critical, consider hiring a local crew or specifying professional installation in addition to the delivery.

Measure the length, width, and desired finished depth of your area and enter those numbers into Hello Gravel's material calculator for an instant estimate. Because local stone densities and compaction rates vary, the calculator gives a recommended tonnage and a small contingency for waste and compaction. If you prefer, call our team with your measurements and zip code and we will help confirm quantities.

Good drainage is essential—gravel beds should sit on a well-prepared base with proper slope away from structures to avoid pooling and frost heave. In North Whiteplains, using a compactable base layer and including a geotextile fabric can reduce mixing with underlying soil and improve longevity. For heavy runoff or low spots, combine coarse drainage stone with a top layer of your chosen decorative gravel.

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