For driveways, use a compactable angular stone for the base (commonly 3/4" crushed stone or 3/4" minus) with a 3/4" or 1/2" surface stone for good lock and load-bearing. For patios, a 3/4" base with a finer 3/8" or screened material on top (or paver bedding sand over a compacted stone base) gives a stable, low-maintenance surface. In Columbus's freeze-thaw climate, angular crushed stone is preferred over round river rock because it locks together and resists movement.

Use these approximate amounts for 100 sq ft: 2" depth = about 0.9 ton, 3" depth = about 1.3 tons, 4" depth = about 1.7 tons. Actual weight varies by stone type and moisture; round up and account for compaction and slopes when ordering, and remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum.

Yes—properly installed crushed stone performs well through West Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles provided you have a well-compacted base, good drainage, and suitable edge restraints. Use angular crushed stone, a geotextile where needed, and at least 6" to 12" of compacted base for driveways to minimize frost heave.

Durable options include steel or aluminum edge restraints, poured concrete curbs, paver borders, or anchored timber timbers depending on appearance and load. Combine edging with compacted base and a geotextile fabric to reduce migration; avoid lightweight plastic edging for heavy-traffic driveways.

“Stone” often refers to crushed rock; crushed limestone is one common local option in the Columbus area. For drainage choose clean, angular stone without fines (for example 57 stone); for road base use a graded aggregate with fines (3/4" minus or dense-graded base) that compacts well. Local availability and cost will influence the choice, so check Hello Gravel quotes for nearby suppliers.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days, but during spring thaw demand, weather, and local road weight restrictions can extend lead times to around 3 to 7 business days. Order early in spring, check road ban alerts for your county, and confirm delivery windows when you schedule through Hello Gravel.

Possibly—Columbus city regulations or local HOA covenants can restrict driveway width, location, surface material, or require permits for apron changes or stormwater impacts. Check with the City of Columbus public works or your HOA before installation; Hello Gravel can deliver materials but does not handle permits or code compliance.

A well-built stone driveway can last decades with routine maintenance: annual grading, occasional compaction, weed control, and topping up the surface every 3 to 7 years (often 1 to 3 tons depending on driveway size). Maintenance costs are generally lower than paved surfaces, but expect periodic material replenishment and minor repairs after freeze-thaw seasons.

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