Stone in Buffalo, ND

Expect delivered stone in Buffalo to vary based on type and availability, commonly between $30 and $60 per ton (roughly $42 to $84 per cubic yard using ~1.4 tons/yd3). Prices can shift seasonally and by supplier, so use this range as a guide and get a zip-code quote on Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price.

For residential driveways in West North Dakota we recommend 3/4" to 1" crushed stone or a 3/4" crusher-run mix for the wearing surface, with a compacted base of larger angular stone if needed. Farm roads and heavy-use areas typically need a thicker base made of 2" to 4" angular stone or crusher-run (Class 5) and 6" or more of total compacted depth for durability.

Angular crushed stone drains well and resists frost heave if you build a proper base, use good drainage, and compact each layer. Expect to regrade and add fresh stone every 3 to 5 years for typical residential driveways, and check drainage after spring thaw; poor drainage and fines that trap water are the main causes of freeze-thaw damage.

Yes—Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and dump-truck haulers that deliver to Buffalo, ND; minimum orders start at 3 tons. Many suppliers offer contractor pricing for larger or repeat orders, so request contractor or bulk rates when you get a quote and ask about scheduling and next-day options if you need faster delivery.

Use area x depth to estimate. For a 20 ft by 50 ft driveway (1,000 sq ft): 4" compacted depth needs about 12.4 cubic yards or roughly 17 to 18 tons; 6" depth needs about 18.5 cubic yards or roughly 26 tons. Always round up for compaction and grading, and remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum.

A typical 3 ft by 20 ft walkway at 2" depth uses about 0.5 tons of stone (well under our 3-ton minimum), so consider ordering extra for storage or combining orders. For a French drain, use clean 1/2" to 1-1/2" stone; a 4" deep, 12" wide trench needs about 0.9 cubic yards per 10 linear feet, or roughly 1.2 tons per 10 feet—scale to your trench length and order accordingly.

Material-only costs commonly fall between $30 and $60 per ton delivered for stone; basic contractor-installed gravel driveways in rural North Dakota most often run about $2 to $6 per square foot including material and labor. Heavier builds with excavation, geotextile, and larger base stone can push costs to $4 to $8 per square foot; get local quotes for an accurate number for your site.

Crushed stone (granular, angular rock) drains well and resists moving under load, making it a strong choice in freeze-thaw climates if installed with good drainage. Crushed limestone contains fines that can bind and compact firmly but may create dust and hold moisture; recycled asphalt binds when compacted and can be economical but may soften in hot weather and behave differently in freeze-thaw cycles. For Buffalo's climate, angular crushed stone with proper drainage is often the most reliable long-term option.

For drainage use clean, washed stone in the 1/2" to 1-1/2" range for French drains and trenchwork so water flows freely. For slope or channel erosion control use larger riprap or armor stone (typically 3" to 6" or larger depending on slope and flow); always size stone to the expected runoff and consider geotextile fabric under stone to prevent washout.

Because Buffalo is small and materials are regionally sourced, expect color and texture to reflect local geology and seasonal availability. Remember the 3-ton minimum, plan for 2+ business days for standard delivery (next-day sometimes available), request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want it, and contact Hello Gravel's sales team for precise tonnage and delivery scheduling.

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.
