Gravel in Midvale, UT

Material prices in Midvale vary by type, but expect roughly $25 to $70 per ton depending on whether you choose pea gravel, crushed rock, or decorative stone. Hello Gravel’s standard delivery is typically 2+ business days and many local suppliers offer free or low-cost delivery; however local delivery fees can range from $0 to $150 for small orders and surge in winter. Tailgate spreading is at the driver or contractor’s discretion and contractors who provide full spreading/installation usually charge separately — often a few hundred dollars for a small driveway depending on prep needs.

For Midvale driveways, angular crushed rock or crushed limestone (3/4" to 1") performs best because it locks together when compacted and resists rutting in freeze-thaw cycles. For patios, decomposed granite or compactable crushed stone provides a stable, natural-looking surface; pea gravel and river rock are fine for decorative patios but can shift under vehicle traffic. Because West Utah is dry with occasional freeze-thaw, choose angular, well-graded materials for load-bearing surfaces and reserve rounded river rock for low-traffic landscaping accents.

Freeze-thaw and plowing can cause potholes, washboarding, and material loss if gravel lacks a proper base and edging. Reduce damage by installing a compacted base (aggregate base course), using geotextile fabric where needed, adding edge restraints, building a slight crown for drainage, and choosing angular stone that compacts well. For snow removal, use plow blades with plastic protectors or lift the blade slightly to avoid pulling up surface gravel; expect occasional spot repairs after winter.

Use these typical estimates (round up and allow extra for compaction and settling): a 2-car driveway (20x24 ft) at 3" depth needs about 6 to 8 tons; a 20x40 ft patio at 2" to 4" depth needs roughly 7 to 14 tons; and a 10x20 ft walkway at 2" to 4" depth needs about 2 to 4 tons. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so small projects may require ordering the minimum or topping up other areas.

Many Midvale suppliers and Hello Gravel require a minimum (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), though some local yards set higher minimums for certain materials. Delivery fees are often waived for larger loads but can apply to small orders or remote delivery spots; expect seasonal fluctuations and higher fees or limited availability in winter. Always check pricing and delivery windows at checkout and contact customer service early if you need a specific delivery date.

Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA; some Midvale HOAs restrict visible rock sizes, colors, or the percentage of front-yard hardscape. City zoning and stormwater rules can also affect driveway modifications, especially where curb cuts or drainage changes are involved. Before installing, check your HOA covenants and contact Midvale city planning to confirm any permits or design standards.

A well-built gravel driveway in the Midvale area can last many years but requires regular maintenance: regrading and filling low spots annually or after harsh winters, adding a fresh topping (1 to 2 inches) every 3 to 7 years, and periodic compaction after adding material. Keep drainage clear, repair washouts promptly, and expect more frequent touch-ups in areas with heavy vehicle use or repeated plowing.

Yes — gravel is very effective for drainage when sized and installed correctly. Clean, washed 3/4" crushed stone or 1/2" to 1" clear rock is ideal as backfill for French drains because it allows flow while resisting clogging; use larger riprap or 1.5"+ rock in swales or concentrated flow paths. Always wrap rock in nonwoven geotextile where soil intrusion is a risk and design an outlet for the water to prevent saturation.

Many local contractors offer full gravel installation services including base prep, geotextile, edging, compaction, and spreading, while some vendors and haulers only deliver material. Installation costs vary widely by scope: expect small walkway installs to start in the low hundreds, patio installs in the mid-hundreds to low thousands, and driveway installs from a few thousand dollars upward depending on excavation and base work. Get multiple quotes and specify base depth, edging, and compaction so bids are comparable.

Crushed limestone is durable and compacts well but is alkaline and can slightly affect soil pH over time, which matters for sensitive plants. River rock is more neutral and attractive for xeriscaping, but it can migrate without edging and is heavier to move or remove. For water-restricted Midvale yards, pair either material with drought-tolerant plants, good edging, and a mulch or landscape fabric underlayer to reduce weed growth and sprinkler evaporation.

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