Gravel in Richmond, NY

Prices vary by gravel type and local supplier, but expect roughly $30 to $70 per ton delivered in the Richmond, NY area. Hello Gravel shows transparent quotes for your zip code; note our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees or access surcharges can apply for tight sites or long hauls.

Angular crushed stone (3/4" cleaned crushed stone or crushed trap rock) and dense-graded aggregates perform best in freeze-thaw conditions because they interlock and shed water. Recycled asphalt compacts well and resists rutting in cold climates but can soften in spring thaw; avoid rounded pea gravel for driveways where frost heave and movement are concerns.

Yes — Hello Gravel sources materials from local suppliers, so common options like crushed stone, crusher-run, pea gravel, and recycled asphalt are usually available in the Richmond area. Availability and color vary by local geology; enter your zip code on our site to see exact products and lead times for your location.

Use cubic yards = (length ft x width ft x depth in)/324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons. Example: a 1-car driveway (10 x 20 ft) at 3" depth is about 1.85 cubic yards or ~2.6 tons (you would hit our 3-ton minimum). A 2-car driveway (20 x 20 ft) at 3" depth is about 3.7 cubic yards or ~5.2 tons; increase depth to 4" or add a compacted base for heavier loads.

Labor and installation rates vary by project scope, but expect typical contractor pricing in the Richmond area to range from about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot for spreading and compacting gravel, not including excavation. Complex jobs with grading, geotextile, or drainage work will cost more; get multiple local quotes for an accurate estimate.

Crushed stone is the most stable for driveways in winter because its angular particles lock together and drain well. Pea gravel looks nice for landscaping but shifts and can wash out or ice over more easily, so it is not ideal for primary driveways. Recycled asphalt compacts smoothly and handles plowing well, but it may rut in very wet spring conditions; it is a good budget option for farm or access roads.

For erosion control on slopes, use a geotextile fabric over the soil, then place larger angular rock (1" to 2") as a base before a top layer of 3/4" crushed stone. A typical approach is a 4" to 6" base of coarse material with a 2" to 3" top layer; add terraces, edging, or check dams on steep runs to slow water and keep material in place.

Plan a light maintenance pass each spring to regrade ruts and refill low spots, and a fuller regrade or 1" to 2" top-up of new gravel every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic and weather. Common repairs after winter include pothole filling, re-establishing crown for drainage, and replacing washed-out edges; prompt grading after freeze-thaw cycles helps extend the surface life.

Gravel can be a good perimeter drainage layer if you use angular crushed stone, slope the grade away from the foundation, and combine it with proper downspout routing and foundation drains when required. Check local Richmond/municipal codes for required setbacks and materials, and avoid deep layers of fine decorative gravel against foundation walls where it could retain moisture.

For rural access roads, start with a geotextile fabric, then install 4" to 6" of compacted crusher-run or bank run as the base, topped with 2" to 3" of 3/4" crushed stone for traffic wear. Recycled asphalt is also a cost-effective, durable option for farm driveways; order large deliveries and consider heavier truck access for haul and compaction needs.
