Gravel in Lake Ridge, VA

Gravel delivered to Lake Ridge is sourced locally from Northern Virginia and nearby Piedmont or coastal-plain quarries and river pits. Suppliers are regional, so color, texture, and stone type reflect local geology; Hello Gravel partners with local haulers to match you with nearby sources for faster delivery.

Yes, gravel is a natural resource formed by weathering and river transport, but removing material from creeks or rivers is usually regulated. In Prince William County and Virginia, you generally need permits to remove gravel from streams, so contact local authorities before taking material from waterways.

Costs vary by material and depth, but as a rough estimate a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway needing a 3-4 inch top layer requires about 1.5 to 2.5 tons of gravel. At local retail prices you could expect roughly $80 to $350 for material (decorative gravels cost more), plus delivery and any spreading fees; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and shows transparent pricing at checkout.

For driveways in Lake Ridge, crushed stone (3/4" minus or crushed angular stone) is common because it locks together and provides good drainage and load-bearing. For decorative yards and pathways, pea gravel or 3/8" river rock are popular, but expect smoother stones to shift more under tires or foot traffic.

A quick rule: multiply square footage by desired depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.3 to convert to tons. For example, a 500 sq ft driveway at 3 inches depth uses about 0.5 cubic yards (~0.65 tons), but most deliveries to Lake Ridge start at a 3-ton minimum through Hello Gravel.

Hello Gravel serves most Lake Ridge addresses through our network of local suppliers and haulers; check zip code availability at checkout. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; free delivery may apply in many areas.

Because materials are regionally sourced, the color, size distribution, and texture of gravel in Lake Ridge may vary from online photos. We recommend adding color or appearance notes at checkout and contacting our team if you need a close match; photos are representative, not guaranteed.

Yes, many Lake Ridge neighborhoods and HOAs have rules about driveway materials, edging, and appearance. Before ordering gravel for a driveway or visible front-yard use, check your HOA covenants and local Prince William County regulations to avoid removal or modification orders.

Gravel can be used near lakes and drainage swales, but choose angular, well-graded stone and install proper edging and geotextile fabric to reduce migration and sediment runoff. For shoreline or sensitive areas, consult local environmental rules and consider a licensed contractor to meet county stormwater standards.

Pea gravel is smooth and attractive for patios and play areas but shifts easily and compacts poorly under vehicles. Crushed stone is angular, compacts well, and is usually better for driveways and high-traffic surfaces in Lake Ridge; choose pea gravel only where appearance and drainage matter more than load support.

In Lake Ridge's climate, routine maintenance includes raking to redistribute stone after winter freeze-thaw cycles, adding fresh material every 1-3 years for high-traffic areas, and keeping edging intact to prevent spreading. For snow removal, use a plastic shovel or snowblower set to avoid dragging large stones onto pavement.

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.
