Gravel in Oswego Beach, NY

Expect delivered gravel prices in Oswego Beach to vary by material and season. A rough range is $30 to $60 per ton (about $40 to $85 per cubic yard) delivered; pea gravel and specialty colored stone sit at the higher end. Tailgate spreading or local labor can add about $10 to $30 per ton depending on job complexity and access. Seasonal demand, truck access, and quantity ordered will affect the final quote, so check our calculator or request a local estimate.

For driveways we recommend angular crushed stone (3/4" or crusher run) because it compacts and resists shifting from plowing and freeze-thaw. For walkways, pea gravel looks nice and drains well but doesn’t hold up to plows, so use it where you won’t be plowing. For drainage or low spots near Lake Ontario, use clean, washed stone (1" to 2") or 3/4" crushed stone with a geotextile underlay to keep fines from clogging the drain.

Local suppliers in the West New York metro area that serve Oswego Beach commonly stock crushed stone, pea gravel, and recycled aggregate. Standard lead times are generally 2+ business days; busy seasons (spring and fall) can push that to a week or more, and next-day delivery may be possible if ordered before our next-day cutoff. Always check your zip code on our site for precise availability and lead time, and add order notes for preferred delivery dates.

Possibly. Oswego Beach homeowners should check with the Town of Oswego or Oswego County building department and any HOA covenants before changing driveway materials or footprint. Local zoning, setbacks, stormwater rules, or shoreline protections can affect what is allowed. When in doubt, contact your local permitting office or HOA and save any approvals before ordering materials.

Plows can displace loose, round gravels like pea gravel, so angular crushed stone in the 3/4" range is usually best where plowing is expected. Salt does not harm the rock itself but can increase freeze-thaw cycling that shifts fines and leads to potholes. Gravel stabilizers or binders can reduce migration and make plowing easier, but they change drainage and may not be suitable for all sites—discuss options with your supplier and your snow contractor.

For a typical 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 24 ft), we recommend 6 to 8 inches of compacted crushed stone base (installed in 2- to 3-inch lifts and compacted) plus a 1.5 to 2-inch top layer of 3/4" stone. That equals roughly 8 inches total depth, which for a 20x24 ft driveway is about 12 cubic yards or roughly 17 to 20 tons of material. Proper compaction and edge containment improve freeze-thaw performance and reduce maintenance in Oswego Beach winters.

With proper base construction, a gravel driveway in this climate typically lasts 8 to 15 years before a major refresh is needed, though local conditions and use affect that. Expect light maintenance every 1 to 3 years (re-grading, filling ruts) and a top-up of 0.5 to 1 inch of fresh stone every 2 to 5 years. Annual maintenance costs for a homeowner typically range from a modest DIY cost for added stone to a few hundred dollars if hiring local contractors for grading and spreading.

Near Lake Ontario and in low-lying lots you should plan for a high water table, seasonal runoff, and erosion. Use geotextile fabric under the gravel, build a free-draining base, and consider French drains or catch basins to keep water away from structures. Also check local shoreline and stormwater rules before altering drainage or moving large quantities of material.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and delivers via local dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Provide clear drop location and note any low-hanging wires, narrow drives, or steep slopes—truck access affects where the pile can go and may change the quote. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion and we cannot guarantee that service.

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

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
