Gravel Price per Ton (Updated 2025)

How Much Does Gravel Cost per Ton?

Traditional driveway gravel usually costs $30 to $60 per ton, not including delivery.
The final price depends on what type of gravel you choose and how far it needs to travel. Whether you’re building a driveway, topping off a walkway, or filling in a low spot, this quick guide breaks down what to expect and how to plan for it.

Typical Price Ranges by Gravel Type (Delivered)

Gravel pricing depends on what you order and how much of it you need. Here’s what you can expect to pay per ton, delivery included:

Buying more usually lowers the per-ton rate, and local delivery distance can affect the final price. This should give you a solid idea of what to expect.

What Affects Gravel Cost?

Gravel isn’t one-price-fits-all. A few key things will change what you pay:

• Type of Gravel
  Crushed stone is typically the most affordable. Pea gravel and river rock cost more because they’re often used for decorative projects and take more effort to source and sort.

• Distance from the Source
  The farther your delivery has to travel, the more it costs. Local supply makes a big difference in final price.

• Delivery Conditions
  If your drop site is hard to reach or needs special equipment, that can add to your total.

Keep in mind—these prices reflect getting the material to your site. Spreading or moving the gravel once it’s delivered is typically a separate cost and not included in the delivery fee.
