Gravel delivery in Annetta South, TX

Prices vary by gravel type and local supplier, but expect roughly $30 to $45 per ton for common crushed stone or driveway-grade gravel, and $40 to $80 per ton for decorative or colored gravels. Final price depends on local availability, seasonal demand, and any delivery fees; check our checkout for an exact quote for your zip code.

A typical residential tri-axle delivery in the Texas region carries about 10 to 15 tons. Using an example price of $35 per ton, material cost would be $350 to $525, plus delivery fees that commonly range $75 to $300 depending on distance and access, so a full-load total often falls in the $425 to $825 range.

Most tri-axle residential dump trucks deliver roughly 10 to 15 tons of gravel, though capacities vary by truck and material density. At common depths, one ton covers about 120 sq ft at 2 inches, 80 sq ft at 3 inches, and 60 sq ft at 4 inches, so a 12-ton load would cover roughly 1,440 sq ft at 2u0022 or 960 sq ft at 3u0022.

Cost depends on driveway width and desired depth; for example, a 1,000-ft long by 12-ft wide driveway at 3u0022 depth is 12,000 sq ft and needs about 150 tons of gravel. At $35 per ton delivered, materials would be about $5,250; add delivery and spreading/compaction labor (commonly $1,000 to $3,000 for large jobs) for a rough total of $6,250 to $8,250. Local soil conditions in Annetta South can increase costs if base prep or fabric is recommended.

Use the rule of thumb that one ton of gravel covers about 80 sq ft at 3u0022 depth. Measure your driveway area (length x width) and divide by 80 to estimate tons needed, then round up to account for settling and waste. For example, a 20-ft by 50-ft driveway (1,000 sq ft) needs about 13 tons at 3u0022 depth.

For small amounts, picking up gravel yourself can be cheapest because you avoid delivery fees, but you are limited by truck capacity and time. For bulk needs (3+ tons), bulk delivery is usually most cost-effective per ton and more convenient; hiring a contractor adds labor and equipment costs but may be worth it for grading, compaction, or large installs. Compare per-ton pricing and factor in time, equipment rental, and labor when choosing the option that suits your project.

Locally sourced crushed limestone or crusher-run is commonly the most affordable and performs well as a driveway surface in Annetta South’s climate. It compacts well for a stable surface and is widely available in Texas, though appearance is utilitarian; decorative gravels cost more but improve curb appeal. Choose a durable base material under topcoat gravel for best long-term performance.

As a quick reference, 20 tons covers about 2,400 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 1,600 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and 1,200 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. These estimates assume typical gravel density; round up for settling and raking losses. Use these numbers to plan orders or to compare against your driveway or yard measurements.

In many parts of Annetta South, adding a compacted base course (crusher-run) and a geotextile fabric is recommended, especially where clay soils or poor drainage exist. Adding a base and fabric increases upfront cost—expect an extra percentage for materials and labor—but it substantially reduces rutting and maintenance over time. Ask our sales team to evaluate your site and quote options with and without base/fabric so you can compare lifecycle costs.

Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if safe and practical for the site, but spreading is not guaranteed. You should request spreading at checkout and include site access notes; the driver will assess conditions on arrival and decide whether spreading can be done. For precise spreading, hiring a local landscaper or contractor is recommended.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, gravel color, texture, and size can vary based on local geology, so materials may not match photos exactly. If color or consistency is important, note preferences in your order notes and request a supplier sample when possible. If the delivered material is substantially different than what was quoted, contact our customer service promptly and we will work to resolve it.
