Gravel in Purcellville, VA

Buying bulk by the ton and having it delivered by dump truck is usually the cheapest option in Purcellville. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and connects you with local suppliers, which reduces haul costs compared with buying many small bags from retail stores. Request common local mixes like crushed stone or #57 to keep prices lower, and use our calculator to estimate how much you need before ordering.

Costs vary by material and season, but expect roughly $60 to $100 per ton delivered in the Purcellville area. A typical tri-axle dump truck holds about 10 to 12 tons, so a full truckload often runs around $600 to $1,200. Get an exact quote through Hello Gravel for your zip code and material choice.

No. In Purcellville's climate you should generally plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel for a driveway, with a proper subbase underneath for drainage and load-bearing. Two inches may work only as a thin top dressing over an already well-built base, but it will not provide long-term stability on its own.

For a pedestrian walkway, 2 to 3 inches of compacted gravel over a 2- to 4-inch compacted base is common. For patio installations under pavers, aim for a 4- to 6-inch compacted stone base plus a 1-inch bedding layer. Local soil and drainage conditions in Loudoun County can affect these recommendations, so consider site prep accordingly.

Gravel supplied in Purcellville typically comes from nearby quarries in Loudoun County and the surrounding Piedmont and Shenandoah Valley regions. Regional sourcing means color, angularity, and texture will reflect local geology, so samples can look different than photographs. You can note color preferences in your order, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed.

While Virginia has a history of gold mining in some regions, Purcellville is not known for recreational gold panning and you should not expect to find gold in landscaping gravel. Gravel sold for construction and landscaping is processed material from quarries and will not contain valuable mineral concentrations. If you are curious about mineralogy, local historical societies can point to sites of past mining activity in the region.

Gravel theft is not common, but it can happen anywhere; secure storage reduces risk. Keep material on private property away from the street, consider covering it with a tarp, and place it on a stable surface to prevent runoff into storm drains. If you live near sensitive areas or HOA rules, check local regulations before staging large piles.

There is no statewide gravel-specific '65% rule' that governs how much gravel you can place, but local zoning and stormwater rules in Loudoun County may limit impervious coverage or require controls for runoff. Gravel can be considered permeable or partially permeable depending on installation, so check county zoning and stormwater guidelines before making big changes. For projects that might affect drainage or require permits, contact Loudoun County zoning or a local contractor.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations. It's easiest to modify orders before suppliers have processed and trucks have been dispatched; after dispatch we will do our best but cannot guarantee changes. Include your order number and desired change when you call or text our team.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and size can vary from photos and samples. Photos show typical examples, but natural stone reflects local geology and lighting differences. If color or texture is important, note preferences in your order and ask for a local sample or a close match when you request a quote.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request that service at checkout. Spreading depends on truck access, property conditions, and driver safety, and Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading. If spreading is critical, discuss options with the team so we can note the request and offer guidance.

Measure the area in square feet and decide on the target depth, then multiply area by depth and divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, a 12-foot by 20-foot single-car parking area at 4 inches deep is about 3 cubic yards, or roughly 4 to 5 tons depending on the material. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact us for a site-specific estimate based on local material density.

Purcellville experiences seasonal freeze-thaw and periods of heavy rain, so choose angular, crushed stone for good compaction and drainage rather than rounded river rock that can shift. Proper base preparation and drainage are critical to prevent rutting and frost heave. If you are unsure which mix suits your project, our team can recommend options tailored to local conditions.

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.
