Gravel in Yonkers, NY

For a durable patio base in Yonkers, use 3/4" crushed stone or crushed stone with fines (often called crusher run or ABC). It compacts well, sheds water, and resists movement through Yonkers' freeze-thaw cycles better than pea gravel. Consider a 2-4" compacted layer under pavers with proper edge restraints to keep the base stable.

A 10x10 patio (100 sq ft) needs about 0.93 cubic yards at 3" depth or about 1.23 cubic yards at 4" depth, which converts to roughly 1.3 tons and 1.7 tons respectively (using ~1.4 tons per cubic yard). Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so you will typically order at least 3 tons for delivery. Delivery cost varies by supplier, route, and access; many areas have free delivery but check your zip code at checkout for an exact fee.

Costs vary by finish, base prep, and whether you use pavers or loose gravel. A basic compacted gravel patio (materials and labor) in Yonkers often ranges from about $1,500 to $4,500, while a paver patio with proper base, edging, and compaction can range from about $4,000 to $12,000. Get local contractor quotes that itemize excavation, base material, compaction, edging, and surface material for a precise estimate.

For a typical 20-foot-long driveway (about 240 to 300 sq ft depending on width), expect to budget for excavation, 6-8" of compacted base stone, and top gravel. Ballpark installed costs in Yonkers range from roughly $1,000 to $5,000 depending on site access, existing grades, drainage needs, and material choice. Contractors usually include compaction and grading in their quotes, but confirm scope and whether delivery and truck placement fees are extra.

Products that lock include crushed stone with fines (tamped) plus stabilizer options like resin-bound gravel, permeable resin systems, or gravel stabilization grids. These systems reduce tracking and washout and can work in Yonkers, but UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles mean installation quality and appropriate winter maintenance matter. For long-term performance in Yonkers, choose a reputable installer and materials rated for freeze-thaw climates.

Yes — pavers perform best over a compacted gravel base (typically 4" of crushed stone plus a 1" bedding sand layer) to ensure stability and drainage in Yonkers soils. Many contractors offer removal of a failed base, regrading, new crushed stone installation, and compaction as part of a replacement service. Because Yonkers can have heavy clay or poor-draining spots, contractors often add drainage or geotextile layers where needed.

For patios, 3-4" of compacted crushed stone is common; for driveways plan 6-8" of compacted base stone topped with 2-3" of surface gravel. Most reputable contractors in Yonkers include compaction when they quote base preparation, but always confirm that compaction, equipment, and the number of passes are part of the price. If extra grading, geotextile, or drainage work is required, expect those to be itemized separately.

Yes — Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers that deliver to Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, the Bronx, and surrounding areas using dump trucks (typically tri-axle). We have a 3-ton minimum order; delivery fees vary by distance, truck access, and material, and many areas offer free delivery, but check your zip code during checkout for exact pricing. Tight streets, restricted drop zones, or long offload distances can add fees or require smaller trucks, so note access details in Order Notes.

Neighborhoods like Getty Square, Park Hill, Ludlow, Colonial Heights, and parts of Riverdale-adjacent areas commonly see yard and driveway upgrades due to older properties and compact lots. Location affects pricing because narrow streets, curb cuts, limited truck access, or historic-district rules can increase labor and delivery time. Properties on steeper slopes or with stormwater needs may also require extra grading or drainage work, raising overall cost.

Yes — Yonkers follows Westchester County and local stormwater rules; permeable solutions may help meet runoff concerns and avoid directing water onto neighboring properties. Projects near steep slopes, public right-of-way, or drain lines may require permits or engineered drainage, so check with the Yonkers Building Department before major grading. When in doubt, ask your contractor to review local code and recommend a plan that meets drainage and setback requirements.
