Gravel and Material Delivery in Dry Ridge
Dry Ridge got its name because there's no water on top of the ridge, but anyone with a gravel drive here knows the ground tells a different story. The town sits on Nicholson silt loam, a soil with a dense fragipan 16 to 30 inches down that traps winter rain right under the surface. Dry by geography, wet by soil profile. That perched water is exactly what softens a driveway from below and swallows stone every spring, and it's why we push a compacted crusher run base topped with clean #57 instead of another thin layer over mud.
The short answer
We deliver gravel, topsoil, sand, and fill dirt to Dry Ridge with our own 14-truck dump fleet, about nine road miles from our Crittenden yard down I-75. Driveway stone, commercial pad material, and contractor hauling for the exit 159 corridor all come from one local carrier. Call 859-910-9272.
The commercial side of town has its own appetite for material. I-75 exit 159 is Grant County's retail hub, anchored by the Walmart corridor on Ferguson Boulevard with fuel, food, and hotel pads clustered around the interchange, and pads like that run on base stone, fill, and trucks that show up when the schedule says. Our yard is one exit north at 166, roughly nine road miles away, which means we can cycle multiple loads to a Dry Ridge site in a single day without the haul distance eating the budget.
The housing stock spreads the demand around. The median Dry Ridge home dates to 1987, so the town carries early Main Street houses, mid-era ranches, and newer builds toward the interchange, and most of those lots share the same ridgetop fragipan ground. Settled drives need topping stone, older yards need fill and topsoil for low spots, and the rural lanes dropping off the ridge onto Eden clay slopes need real base work to survive the wet season.
What makes Dry Ridge ground different
A dry ridge over wet soil
Nicholson's fragipan perches winter water a couple feet down, so Dry Ridge driveways sink stone into saturated clay every wet season. The fix is base-first: compacted crusher run, then clean stone on top.
The exit 159 corridor
Grant County's commercial center keeps building around the KY 22 interchange, and commercial pads take stone and fill by the multi-load run, not the single drop. Fourteen trucks can feed that pace.
Nine miles from our yard
Straight down I-75 from exit 166 to 159. Short cycles mean more loads per day and less trucking time on your bill, whether it's one load of driveway gravel or a week of supply.

Trucking & Material Delivery work we bring to Dry Ridge
Trucking & Material Delivery in Dry Ridge: your questions
Do you deliver gravel to Dry Ridge?
All the time. Dry Ridge is about nine road miles from our Crittenden yard, so a load of #57, crusher run, or driveway gravel is a quick run for us. Call 859-910-9272 with your rough dimensions and we'll figure the loads.
How much does a load of gravel cost in Dry Ridge, KY?
It comes down to the stone you pick, the tonnage, and the short haul from our end of the county. We'll quote the whole job up front, and if you want the stone spread and graded, our own crew handles that too.
Do you haul for contractors working near exit 159?
Yes. We're a registered motor carrier with 14 trucks and our own drivers one exit up the interstate, and commercial pad work along the corridor is exactly the kind of job we can keep fed all day.
Can you spread the gravel on my Dry Ridge driveway?
We can. The truck dumps it and our grading crew spreads, crowns, and compacts it, so the driveway comes from one contractor instead of a delivery guy and a separate grader.
