For driveways in Addison, crusher run or 3/4u0022 crushed limestone are common because they compact well and resist rutting. For walkways and patios, pea gravel or decorative river rock drain well in heavy summer rains but can shift, so pairing them with a compacted crushed stone base is recommended. Local sourcing means material color and texture will reflect West Texas geology, so expect some variation.

Use these typical estimates based on 1.4 tons per cubic yard: a 2-car driveway (20'x20') at 3u0022 depth needs about 5.2 tons (4u0022 depth about 7 tons). A 1,000 sq ft patio at 2u0022 depth needs about 8.6 tons (3u0022 ~12.9 tons). A 200 ft walkway 3' wide at 2u0022 depth (600 sq ft) needs about 5.2 tons; adjust if your walkway is wider or you need a thicker base.

Installed costs can vary, but homeowners in West Texas typically pay roughly $1.00 to $3.00 per sq ft for a basic gravel driveway (material plus delivery) and $3.00 to $8.00 per sq ft when adding base prep and labor. A 400 sq ft 2-car driveway could range from about $400 to $1,200 for material-only, and $1,200 to $3,200 fully installed depending on grading, base depth, and site conditions.

Gravel performs well in hot, dry summers because it does not soften like asphalt, but heavy rains can cause washout on slopes and low spots. Proper installation—compacted base, good crown or slope for runoff, edging, and drainage channels—reduces washout and improves longevity. Expect occasional displacement in high-traffic areas and plan for periodic regrading and topping up after major storms.

Crushed limestone is better as a compacted base because it locks together and creates a stable, draining platform, while pea gravel offers good surface drainage but shifts underfoot. For patios in Addison, we recommend a compacted crushed limestone base topped with pea gravel or pavers for both stability and drainage. If drainage is a primary concern, include a slight slope and consider permeable base options.

Requirements vary by property and subdivision; many municipalities and HOAs have rules about driveway materials, setbacks, and visible surfacing. Check the Town of Addison permit office and your HOA documents before ordering, and get any required permits or approvals to avoid rework. If you need help, contact Hello Gravel and we can point you to local permitting resources.

In Addison, expect to top up high-use areas every 1 to 3 years and perform light maintenance (raking, regrading, filling low spots) annually or after heavy storms. Regular maintenance steps include removing weeds, reestablishing edges, regrading ruts, and adding 1 to 2 inches of fresh gravel as needed. Proper initial compaction and drainage reduce how often you need to replenish.

Gravel is typically the least expensive upfront (roughly $1.00 to $3.00 per sq ft installed) but requires more frequent maintenance and topping up. Asphalt and concrete have higher upfront costs (asphalt roughly $3.00 to $6.00 per sq ft; concrete $4.00 to $10.00 per sq ft) but usually last longer with less frequent maintenance. Choose gravel for lower initial cost and easier repairs, and choose asphalt or concrete if you want a lower-maintenance, longer-lasting paved surface.

Calculate cubic yards with area (sq ft) x depth (in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to estimate tons (tons = area x depth_in_inches x 0.00432). For example, 1,000 sq ft at 2u0022 depth is about 6.17 cubic yards or roughly 8.6 tons.
