Stone in Columbus, KS

Ten cubic yards of crushed stone is roughly 14 tons (1 cubic yard of crushed stone ≈ 1.4 tons). Prices vary with material type and supplier in West Kansas, but expect material costs to range roughly $30 to $60 per ton plus a delivery fee; at $45/ton the stone alone would be about $630, and delivery to Columbus often adds $100 to $300 depending on distance and truck availability. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days; get an exact quote through our site for the most accurate price.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days after ordering, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Same-week drops are commonly possible in Columbus but depend on local supplier stock and truck scheduling, so book early and confirm your requested date at checkout.

For most Columbus driveways, a compactable base of 3/4" minus or 1" crushed stone is recommended for the structural layer, with a 1/4" to 3/8" topping if you want a smoother surface. Aim for 4 to 6 inches of compacted base for typical passenger vehicles, and consider local clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles when planning depth and drainage.

Each linear foot of a 20-foot-wide driveway at 3" depth uses about 0.26 tons of stone (roughly 0.19 cubic yards). At a sample price of $45/ton, material-only cost would be about $12 per linear foot; if you build a fuller structural section (6" total) expect about 0.52 tons per linear foot, or about $23 per linear foot at $45/ton. These estimates exclude delivery, compaction, and any base preparation; request a quote for exact pricing for your site.

Cost depends on local availability and product specification, but crushed stone (angular, processed rock) is often similar in price or slightly more expensive than uncrushed “pea” or river gravel because of the crushing process and screening. Local sourcing matters a lot in Columbus; check both product pages on our site or request a quote to compare current prices for the particular grades you want.

For a durable driveway you should not lay stone directly on loose dirt—install a compacted base and consider geotextile fabric to separate poor soils from the aggregate, especially in Columbus where local soils can be clayey and hold moisture. For light-use paths you can get away with 2 to 3 inches over compacted soil and fabric, but driveways require a thicker, compacted base (4 to 6 inches) for longevity.

One ton of crushed stone covers roughly 110 to 115 square feet at a 2" depth, about 75 square feet at 3", and about 55 to 60 square feet at 4". Use these figures to convert your project area into tons, and then request a quote—Hello Gravel’s calculator can also help with exact quantities for your site in Columbus.

A typical tri-axle dump truck delivered through our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 17 tons depending on material density), and total cost depends on material price plus a delivery charge that varies with distance and supplier. As a rough example in rural Kansas, a single truckload with material and delivery might range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars; contact Hello Gravel for a firm quote for a Columbus delivery.

Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway that will see regular vehicle traffic; it may be acceptable only as a thin wearing course over a properly prepared base. For West Kansas driveways we recommend a compacted structural base of 4 to 6 inches plus a 1 to 2 inch wearing layer for best performance and to reduce rutting and washout.

Some local suppliers in our network offer stabilized or polymer-treated aggregate products, but availability in Columbus varies by supplier. These treated products usually carry a premium—often 20% to 50% more than untreated stone—so contact our team to check local availability and get precise pricing and installation guidance.

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.
