Frequently Asked Questions
What does a gravel pit in Iowa sell?
A pit sells what comes out of the ground on site, usually crusher run, washed gravel, screened sand, and larger stone for drainage or rip rap. Most pits sell by the ton and price it at the scale house. Decorative rock like lava rock or marble chips is more often stocked by landscape yards.
Do Iowa gravel pits deliver, or is it pickup only?
3 of the 6 Iowa pits listed here deliver. The rest are pickup only, which means you bring a truck or trailer and they load it with a wheel loader.
Do gravel pits sell to the public?
Many do. Some pits only sell to contractors by the truckload, so call before you drive out. If a pit needs a minimum of one load, that is 10 to 18 tons depending on the truck. For a pickup truck bed, expect a half ton to one ton per trip.
How much does gravel cost at a pit in Iowa?
Pit prices run lower than yard prices because there is no middleman. Expect roughly $15 to $40 per ton at the pit for common crushed stone, with delivery adding $50 to $150 per load. Ask for the price per ton delivered so the quote covers the whole job.
