Stone in Richmond, NH

A 10-yard load of crushed stone in the Richmond area usually weighs about 12-15 tons; delivered-only prices typically run roughly $400 to $900 depending on stone type and distance. If you add tailgate spreading or contractor installation, expect an additional $200 to $800 because spreading is charged separately and is at the driver or contractor's discretion. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers scheduled delivery, but exact pricing depends on local supplier rates and any site access issues.

A typical tri-axle dump truck delivered to a Richmond driveway carries about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 12-15 tons) and will usually cost between $300 and $900 for delivery depending on material and haul distance. Additional charges may apply for tight access, steep driveways, or requested spreading. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing and your order total will reflect any local delivery fees.

Natural river-run gravel is often cheaper per ton, but crushed stone compacts and locks together better, so it usually requires less ongoing maintenance and may be the better value over time. When you factor delivery and installation in Richmond's freeze-thaw climate, crushed angular stone often outperforms natural round stone and can save money on regrading and refilling. Your best option depends on budget, intended use, and whether you plan to maintain the driveway yourself or hire a contractor.

Assuming a 40 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (400 sq ft): 2 inches equals about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3.5 tons); 3 inches equals about 3.7 cubic yards (roughly 5.2 tons); 4 inches equals about 4.9 cubic yards (roughly 6.9 tons); and 6 inches equals about 7.4 cubic yards (roughly 10.4 tons. Exact tonnage varies with stone density, so add a 5-10% waste factor and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum.

Two inches is generally too thin for Richmond's winters and freeze-thaw cycles; it will move and rut under vehicle traffic. We recommend a compacted surface course of 3-4 inches over a 4-6 inch compacted base of crushed stone for typical residential driveways, and 6-8 inches of base for heavier loads. Adding a geotextile fabric and proper drainage will also reduce frost heave and extend life.

For a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (1,000 sq ft) with a 6-inch base and a 2-3 inch surface, you’re typically looking at about 27-28 cubic yards (roughly 35-40 tons) of material. Material, delivery, and basic compaction generally range from about $2,000 to $6,000 in the Richmond area depending on stone type, site prep, and contractor rates; DIY costs will be lower but add your time and equipment rental.

For pure material cost per ton, bulk delivery through a service like Hello Gravel is usually the most economical option if you can handle spreading and compaction yourself. Trailer pickup can save money on small loads but is limited by vehicle capacity and labor, while contractor-supplied material includes labor and convenience at a higher total cost. Consider your access, time, and equipment: if you lack spread/compaction gear, hiring a contractor can be more cost-effective than buying cheap material and paying for labor separately.

Twenty tons of crushed stone (about 14-15 cubic yards) delivered in the Richmond area typically costs in the range of $800 to $1,800 depending on stone type, local supplier rates, and delivery distance. Prices vary with material density and regional availability, and additional charges can apply for tight access or requested spreading. Hello Gravel can provide a firm delivered price for your zip code during checkout.

Dense-graded mixes like crusher-run, 3/4" crushed stone with fines, or 'DG' (decomposed granite) mixes compact well and form an interlocking surface that resists rutting better than rounded gravel. These materials work well in Richmond when properly installed and compacted, but they are not as rigid as concrete and can still shift over time, especially under heavy loads or poor drainage. Expect these mixes to be less expensive than concrete but plan for occasional top-ups and maintenance.

A well-built gravel or crushed-stone driveway in Richmond can last 10-25 years before major rebuild is needed, but it will require routine maintenance like grading, adding fresh stone, and occasional re-compaction. Plan on light maintenance annually and a larger top-up every 3-7 years depending on traffic, material type, and winter damage; typical small top-ups for a 100 ft driveway run a few hundred dollars. Good drainage and a solid compacted base reduce maintenance frequency and costs.

A tri-axle dump truck common in Hello Gravel's network usually holds about 10-12 cubic yards of stone, which commonly weighs roughly 12-18 tons depending on the stone type. When ordering, convert your required cubic yards to tons or vice versa and remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum; ordering by yards is more intuitive for spread depth, while tons are helpful for weight limits and trucking capacity. If your site has weight or access restrictions, mention that in Order Notes so we can match the right supplier.

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.
