Gravel in Williamsburg, VA

Prices vary by gravel type, quantity, and supplier, so the quickest way to get an accurate price is to enter your ZIP code on our site for a live quote. Hello Gravel lists per-ton and per-cubic yard pricing and shows delivery fees for your Williamsburg address; keep in mind minimum orders start at 3 tons. Local factors such as material type (pea, crushed, driveway mix) and seasonal demand also affect price.

We deliver across the Williamsburg area where service is available—check your ZIP code on our site to confirm. Our minimum order is 3 tons, standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is an option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; delivery fees vary by supplier and distance, and free delivery is available in many areas.

For a short-term or light-use fix you can add gravel on top of packed dirt, but for a long-lasting driveway we recommend proper base preparation: remove vegetation, regrade, install a compacted base layer (often crushed stone), and compact between layers. Proper prep and compaction reduce washout and rutting in Williamsburg’s seasonal rains and will extend the life of your gravel surface.

For most Williamsburg driveways we recommend a crushed stone driveway mix such as 3/4" crushed stone or a #57/stone and fines mix, which compacts well and sheds water. Hello Gravel can deliver the material to your site; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion when requested at checkout, but full installation (grading, mechanical compaction) typically requires a local contractor we can help you source.

Pea gravel is not ideal for driveways, steep slopes, or high-traffic vehicle areas because the round stones move and rake out under tires, which leads to rutting and maintenance. It’s better suited for walkways, play areas, or decorative patios in Williamsburg where you want a softer, more ornamental surface.

Materials are regionally sourced, so suppliers around Williamsburg commonly provide river gravel, crushed stone, or coastal plain material depending on local quarries. Local availability usually lowers delivery cost and shortens lead times, but if a specific blend or color is scarce, it can increase price or delay delivery—our live quote reflects the local supplier options for your order.

To estimate: 1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 162 sq ft at 2 inches depth or about 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth; typical driveway base depth is 4 inches for top layer and 4–8 inches for a compacted base. Use our online material calculator or give us your project dimensions and desired depth and we’ll estimate cubic yards and tons (roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard for many gravels) and provide a delivery estimate to your Williamsburg address.

Delivery only covers getting material to your site and is priced per ton or cubic yard plus any delivery fee; in Williamsburg this is often the lower-cost option. Professional installation for grading, spreading, and compaction adds labor and equipment costs and can vary widely—expect anywhere from modest day rates for simple spreading to several hundred dollars or more for machine grading and compaction depending on driveway size and site conditions. We recommend getting written bids from local contractors for an accurate installed price.

You can typically drive on freshly delivered gravel right away, but the surface will perform best after compaction; without compaction loose stones can scatter and rut. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but mechanical rolling/compaction is not guaranteed by Hello Gravel and is usually performed by a hired contractor or the property owner for best long-term results.

Permit and HOA rules vary across Williamsburg and James City County, so check with your local building department and your HOA before starting work. Hello Gravel does not obtain permits, but we can provide delivery tickets and material specifications to help with permit applications or HOA submissions and can advise on local contacts when requested.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
