Frequently Asked Questions - Porter gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Porter.
Delivered gravel prices in Porter commonly range from about $25 to $70 per ton depending on material type, amount ordered, and haul distance. Smaller orders, specialty stone, or locations far from local suppliers push costs higher; larger bulk orders usually lower the per-ton price. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing and delivery fees for your zip code at checkout, and standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST.
For Porter's climate, crushed limestone or crushed stone with 3/4" minus fines is a common choice because it compacts well and sheds water while resisting rutting. Pea gravel looks nice but shifts under vehicle traffic, so it’s better for low-traffic areas or on top of a compacted base. Consider a compacted base layer and edge restraints to help the surface hold up to heat and heavy summer storms.
Typical builds use a compacted 4-6" base of 1-1.5" crushed stone for driveways, topped with a 1-2" wearing course of 3/4" crushed stone or 3/8" crushed stone. RV pads benefit from a thicker base (6-8" of 1-1.5" base plus a 2-3" top layer) and a geotextile fabric to prevent rutting. Pathways and decorative areas can use 3/8" pea gravel or decomposed granite in a 2-3" compacted layer for walking comfort.
Measure the area in square feet and decide the depth in inches. Use cubic yards = (area in sqft * depth in inches) / 324, then convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by the material density (most gravels are about 1.3 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard; use 1.4 as a rule of thumb). For example, a 500 sqft driveway at 4" deep is about (500*4)/324 = 6.17 cubic yards, or roughly 8.6 tons at 1.4 tons/cy.
With proper base preparation and periodic upkeep, a gravel driveway in Porter can perform well for many years; expect routine maintenance like regrading and adding 1-3 inches of gravel every 3-7 years depending on traffic. After heavy storms expect to refill low spots and address washouts promptly, and use edging or fabric to reduce spreading and weed growth. Regular light grading and compacting each year extends life and improves drainage.
Crushed limestone compacts well, gives solid support, and is a reliable driveway surface for vehicles in Porter. Pea gravel is decorative and comfortable underfoot but shifts under vehicle traffic and needs containment or a compacted base. Decomposed granite makes attractive, permeable paths and patios when stabilized, but it may require more frequent topping and compaction in high-traffic or heavy-rain areas.
Yes—appropriately sized gravel is effective for stabilizing drainage swales, French drains, and erosion control when combined with geotextile fabric and proper grading. Use larger rock or riprap in concentrated flow areas and check dams or terraces on steep slopes to slow runoff and capture sediment. For long-term slope stability, pair gravel drainage with vegetation, retaining structures, or engineered solutions as needed.
Installation costs vary with site prep, material, and access, but Portland-area homeowners commonly see installed gravel driveways in the range of $1.50 to $4.50 per square foot. More extensive excavation, drainage work, or heavy equipment access can push costs higher, while simple overlays on an existing base are cheaper. Hello Gravel can deliver materials to your contractor or your site; get multiple bids for installation details and exact pricing.
Porter homeowners should watch for washouts during heavy summer storms, compaction or hardpan during dry heat, and weed growth in warmer months. Mitigate issues with proper base preparation, geotextile fabric, edge restraints, regular grading after storms, and a thin top-up of fresh gravel as needed. For weed control, use a weed barrier under the gravel and spot-treat weeds rather than over-applying chemicals.
Hello Gravel typically requires a minimum order of 3 tons and delivers by contracted dump truck fleets (commonly tri-axle trucks). Standard delivery is scheduled 2+ business days after you order, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can add order notes for color preferences and request tailgate spreading, though spreading is at the driver’s discretion.
Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you should request that service at checkout so the driver is aware. However, spreading is not guaranteed; the driver will assess safety and access on arrival and may decline if conditions prevent safe spreading. If guaranteed spreading is essential, arrange for a contractor or ask about local spreading services.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and stone makeup can vary based on local geology, so your delivered gravel may differ from online photos. You can add color or appearance notes at checkout to help suppliers match preferences, and our team can answer questions before you order. If you have concerns after delivery, contact customer service and refer to our refund policy for the resolution process.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
