Gravel in Great Falls, VA

Yes. Virginia has active aggregate quarries and Northern Virginia supplies commonly serve Great Falls. Many loads for Great Falls come from nearby quarries in Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties or nearby Maryland and West Virginia operations, so material source can vary by supplier and product.

For driveways, crushed stone or 3/4" minus (angular) material is common because it compacts well. For drainage use pea gravel or 1/2"-1" washed stone, which allows water to flow through; for erosion control and banks along the Potomac, larger riprap or 2"-6" crushed stone with geotextile fabric is typical.

Delivered prices vary by material and delivery distance, but a rough range for Northern Virginia is $35 to $85 per ton and about $45 to $115 per cubic yard, depending on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, river rock), seasonal demand, and truck access. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum; for an exact delivered price to your Great Falls address get a zip-code quote through our site.

Yes. Great Falls is in Fairfax County and many properties are subject to county zoning and neighborhood HOA covenants that can restrict driveway location, width, surfacing, and stormwater management. Before installing or replacing a driveway, check Fairfax County permitting requirements and any homeowners association rules that apply to your property.

Many suppliers and local contractors will deliver gravel to Great Falls; tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion and is requested at checkout but not guaranteed. Dedicated spreading and compaction are usually done by local landscapers or contractors rather than the delivery driver and commonly run from about $40 to $90 per hour per worker or a flat job rate depending on access and scope; contact us for local labor options and firm estimates.

Yes. Winter conditions (snow, ice, frozen ground) and muddy spring conditions can limit access and lead to scheduling delays or additional fees. Delivery windows are typically 2+ business days standard with a next-day option when available; ask your sales rep about seasonal surcharges for your specific delivery date.

Yes. Small quantities and bagged gravel are available at local garden centers and big-box stores in and near Great Falls, but the per-unit price is substantially higher than bulk. Bulk deliveries (minimum 3 tons through Hello Gravel) are generally the most cost-effective option for driveways and larger projects, while bags make sense for very small jobs or tight access.

Suppliers usually source regionally; many loads for Great Falls come from Virginia quarries but some materials may come from Maryland or West Virginia when specific sizes or colors are needed. Material differences include color, angularity (crushed vs rounded), and durability; mention your color or texture preference in Order Notes so suppliers can match local options as closely as possible.

For a single-car driveway around 10' x 20' at a 3" top layer you need roughly 1.8 cubic yards (about 2.5 to 3 tons); for a two-car driveway around 20' x 20' at 3" depth plan on about 3.7 cubic yards (about 5 to 6 tons). If you are installing or regrading a base, increase quantities (4" to 6" base common), which can double these amounts; remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons.

Yes. Erosion control near the Potomac commonly uses larger riprap (2" to 6" or larger), gabion stone, or crushed stone with geotextile fabric to stabilize slopes and prevent scouring. Because work near waterways may require permits and specialized design, consult a licensed contractor and check Fairfax County and state environmental rules before starting shoreline or riverbank stabilization.

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.
