If you need faster delivery or specific stone color/size, note that in Order Notes and contact our team for options.

For a stable base in a freeze-thaw climate, use crusher-run or '1/2u0022 minus' (crushed stone with fines) compacted 4–6 inches as the subbase. For the wearing layer, #57 (3/4u0022) or 3/4u0022 crushed stone gives good drainage and a firm walking/driving surface; if you want better compaction and plow resistance, use a small-diameter crushed stone with fines on top. Always install geotextile fabric on soft soils and compact each layer to reduce settlement through freeze-thaw cycles.

Approximate needs: a 1-car driveway (10' x 20') at 3u0022 depth uses about 2.8 tons, a 2-car driveway (20' x 20') at 3u0022 depth uses about 5.6 tons, and a 100 sq ft patio at 2u0022 depth uses about 1 ton. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so small projects often require ordering extra or using the material as part of a larger area. Use our material calculator or give your exact dimensions for a precise estimate.

Installed costs vary by prep needed, thickness, and access; expect roughly $3 to $8 per sq ft for a basic stone driveway including grading, geotextile, base stone and compaction, or about $800 to $3,200 for a typical 1- to 2-car driveway. Complex jobs with excavation, poor soils, or heavy truck access can run higher; delivery and material costs are additional and reflected in quotes. Get local contractor bids and use Hello Gravel to compare delivered material pricing to those estimates.

Crushed stone drains very well—#57 and similar sizes let water pass through, reducing runoff and ice buildup. Snow plows can scatter loose surface stone unless you have a compacted wearing course, edge restraints, or slightly larger stone; tell your snow contractor about the surface before plowing. Heavy vehicles require a thicker, well-compacted base (6–8u0022 or more) and sometimes larger stone to prevent rutting and displacement.

Plan simple maintenance: regrade and rake settled areas after the first winter, top up 1/2u0022–1u0022 of stone every 2–5 years depending on traffic, and recompact problem spots as needed. With proper base prep and periodic top-ups, a residential stone driveway can last 10+ years; high-traffic or freeze-thaw damage shortens that life. Note that road salt and de-icing chemicals can accelerate breakdown of softer stones like some limestones, so choose a durable local aggregate when salt exposure is likely.

Local zoning, town codes, and HOAs can limit front-yard parking surfaces, require paved driveways, or set rules about material color and edging. Phoenix is a small community, so check the Town of Phoenix code and any neighborhood HOA covenants before ordering, and get permits for curb cuts or new driveways if required. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel for documentation to share with your HOA or local permitting office.

Minimum orders start at 3 tons, deliveries are made by local dump trucks (typically tri-axle), and standard delivery requires 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but this is not guaranteed; provide a clear drop location and any access notes to avoid delays.
