Order 5–10% extra for settling and uneven grade. Delivered loads are usually sold by the ton or by the yard, and this gives you both.
| Material | Per ton | Per cubic yard | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crusher run / road base | $10 – $25 | $15 – $35 | Compactable base for driveways and pads |
| Crushed stone (#57 and similar) | $15 – $40 | $25 – $55 | The all-purpose drainage and surface stone |
| Pea gravel | $15 – $45 | $20 – $60 | Walkways, playgrounds, decorative beds |
| Crushed limestone | $15 – $40 | $20 – $50 | Base and surface lifts where limestone is quarried |
| Decorative / river rock | $30 – $90 | $45 – $130 | Landscape stone; priced by look, not function |
Ranges are national ballparks for bulk material in 2026 — regional quarry supply and haul distance swing real quotes well outside them. Per-yard prices assume roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard; see how many yards in a ton for the conversion by material.
Delivered gravel is mostly a trucking bill. The stone itself might be $8–$20 per ton at the quarry gate; getting it to you adds per-mile hauling, a minimum-load fee, and fuel. That's why the cheapest supplier is usually the closest one, why a full truckload costs far less per ton than three small drops, and why prices spike when construction season strains trucking capacity.
To budget a job: measure the area, pick a depth, and use the gravel calculator to get yards and tons — then multiply by a delivered quote from a local supplier. Order 5–10% extra; a short load means paying the delivery fee twice.
Plan on $15–$75 per cubic yard for common construction gravel picked up or delivered in bulk, depending on the stone. Decorative rock can run $45–$130 per yard. A cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.4 tons, so per-yard and per-ton prices are two views of the same number.
Roughly $10–$55 per ton for common gravel and crushed stone in bulk, before delivery. Crusher run and road base sit at the low end; washed decorative stone at the high end. Regional supply matters — limestone is cheap near limestone quarries.
A tandem dump truck carries roughly 10–16 tons. At typical material and hauling rates, a delivered load usually lands between $300 and $800 — more for long hauls or premium stone. One load covers about 700–1,000 sq ft at 3 inches deep.
Crusher run, road base, and quarry screenings — the unwashed, ungraded material closest to what comes off the crusher. If it just needs to pack hard and shed water, that's the budget answer.
Hauling. Rock is cheap at the quarry gate; trucking it is not. Distance from the pit, fuel, minimum-load fees, and local competition can move the delivered price more than the material choice does. Always compare delivered quotes, not per-ton prices.
