Use our website to check suppliers for your address or call our team to confirm minimum order and any delivery charges.

At Show Low's elevation (about 6,300 ft) freeze-thaw and winter snow can cause gravel to shift, rut, or freeze into hard-packed lumps. Choose angular crushed stone for driveways because it locks together better and resists washout; expect to regrade and add small amounts of material every 1-5 years depending on traffic and drainage. Proper subgrade, good drainage, and compaction at installation reduce winter damage and long-term maintenance.

For driveways and parking pads use a compactable base like 3/4" minus or crushed base (often 3/4" down to fines) with a 3/8" to 3/4" surface stone; angular crushed stone is preferred for freeze-prone areas. Walking paths and patios commonly use 3/8" pea gravel or decomposed granite for a smoother feel, while 1" to 2" rock is useful where drainage and erosion control matter. Layering a larger base under a finer wearing course and compacting each layer gives the best results in Show Low terrain.

Use this estimate for planning: 1" depth uses about 0.0043 tons per square foot (about 0.43 tons per 100 sq ft), 2" uses about 0.0086 tons per sq ft (0.86 tons per 100 sq ft), and 4" uses about 0.0173 tons per sq ft (1.73 tons per 100 sq ft). These figures assume an average crushed stone density; actual tons can vary by material and moisture, so order a little extra (5-10%) to account for compaction and grading on site.

Costs depend on existing site conditions, required excavation, base material, compaction, and access. As a rough guide for Show Low, simple spread-and-compact installs can be relatively low-cost, while full excavation, base preparation, geotextile, and compaction raise labor and equipment charges; get local contractor quotes for firm pricing. Use Hello Gravel to get material costs and then request installation quotes from local contractors for a complete per-square-foot or per-ton installed price.

City of Show Low and local HOAs may have rules about visible landscaping materials, dust control, and driveway surfacing; restrictions vary by neighborhood and covenant. Before ordering gravel for street-facing areas, check your HOA covenants and call Show Low city planning or building department to confirm any codes or permitting requirements. If you are unsure, Hello Gravel's sales team can remind you to verify local rules before placing an order.

Gravel has a lower upfront material cost and is easy to repair, but requires regular maintenance (regrading, topping off, weed control) every few years, especially after freeze-thaw cycles. Asphalt and interlocking pavers have higher initial installation costs but generally need less frequent maintenance; asphalt may last 15-25 years and pavers 25+ years with proper installation. Choose based on budget, desired appearance, and willingness to handle ongoing maintenance in Show Low's climate.

Hello Gravel can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion and when it can be done safely on arrival. Driveways on steep slopes, tight sites, or soft ground common around Show Low may limit spreading; plan for possible additional labor or equipment if you need a fully leveled and compacted surface. We recommend noting spreading preferences at checkout and arranging professional spreading and compaction if you want a finished driving surface.

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

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.
