Gravel in Gresham, WI

In the Gresham/West Wisconsin area, expect basic crushed stone or crushed limestone delivered for about $15 to $40 per ton, depending on type and season. Decorative pea gravel or river rock typically runs higher, around $25 to $60 per ton. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and may offer free delivery in many areas or next-day delivery for an extra fee.

Local suppliers commonly offer crushed limestone/crushed stone (good for driveways and bases), pea gravel (landscaping and walkways), river rock (decorative edging and drainage features), and crushed concrete (recycled base material). Crushed, angular stone locks together and compacts well for driveways, while rounded pea gravel looks nicer but moves more under traffic. Regional mixes reflect local geology, so color and texture can vary.

Freeze-thaw cycles in Gresham can cause frost heave and rutting if the base and drainage are poor, and snowplows can displace loose surface stone. A common approach is a compacted base of larger, angular crushed stone (4-6 inches) topped with 1-3 inches of smaller crushed stone or screenings to lock the surface. Adding proper drainage and a slight crown helps shed water and reduce freeze-related damage.

For a single-car driveway (about 12 ft x 20 ft), plan on roughly 2 to 4 cubic yards (about 3 to 6 tons) depending on depth. A 2-car parking pad (about 20 ft x 20 ft) typically needs 5 to 8 cubic yards (about 7 to 12 tons). For rural lanes, a 12 ft wide by 100 ft long section at 4 to 6 inches depth needs about 15 to 30 tons; scale up for longer runs or thicker bases.

Most private residential gravel driveways in Gresham do not require a state permit, but local rules vary and access to county or state roads often requires a driveway permit or culvert work. Contact the Town of Gresham or Shawano County highway department before starting work to confirm setbacks, culvert requirements, and any driveway permit process. If you’re changing drainage or grading, the municipality may have specific rules.

With proper base, drainage, and periodic maintenance, gravel driveways in this climate can last many years; however they typically need regrading, pothole repair, and fresh stone every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic and winter conditions. Expect to add a thin top dressing (1/2 to 1 inch) every few years and do seasonal grading after spring thaw to keep crown and drainage working. Snowplowing and heavy use increase maintenance frequency.

Hello Gravel’s platform generally requires a minimum order of 3 tons, which meets many small projects, and we connect you to local suppliers who may have different minimums. Some local yards offer yardage or short-load deliveries, but availability varies by supplier and truck size—check your zip code during checkout or contact our team for smaller options. Delivery lead times are usually 2+ business days, with next-day available before noon CST for an extra fee.

Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and offers excellent drainage but needs more ongoing maintenance than asphalt. Asphalt provides a smoother, low-maintenance surface but costs significantly more to install. Crushed concrete can be a cost-effective, well-compacting alternative to virgin gravel for bases or driveways, though it may be less attractive visually and performance varies by source.

On clay or loam soils, use a well-draining, angular base such as 3/4" to 1-1/2" crushed stone for the structural layer and a 1-3" top layer of smaller crushed stone or screenings to create a stable driving surface. Install geotextile fabric under the base to reduce mixing with subgrade and consider a thicker base (6 inches or more) where soils are soft. Proper slope and edge containment help keep material in place and improve drainage.

For most residential driveways in Gresham, a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone with a 1 to 3 inch crushed stone surface is typical. Farm lanes or heavier-traffic areas usually need 6 to 8 inches or more of compacted base to resist rutting, especially over soft soils. Always compact each layer and provide a crown for water runoff to reduce freeze-thaw damage.

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