Delivered gravel prices in Caddo Mills typically range by material: crushed limestone often runs about $30 to $45 per ton, crushed granite and similar stones $35 to $60 per ton, and pea gravel $40 to $70 per ton.

For West Texas heat and seasonal rains, angular crushed stone (3/4u0022 to 1u0022) like crushed limestone or crushed granite is best because it locks together and resists rutting. Pea gravel is attractive but can migrate and is harder to maintain as a driveway surface in heavy use; use it for low-traffic or decorative areas instead.

A 20x20 driveway at 3 inches deep equals about 3.7 cubic yards, which is roughly 5.2 tons of typical crushed stone. We recommend ordering about 6 tons to allow for compaction, spreading, and small volume loss during installation.

On clay soils, start with good drainage and a geotextile fabric over the subgrade, then add a compacted subbase of 4 to 6 inches of angular crushed stone, followed by a 2 to 3 inch wearing layer of 3/4u0022 stone. Proper grading, compaction, and surface slope to shed water are critical to avoid rutting and premature failure.

Hot, dry periods increase dust and loosening of fines, while heavy seasonal rains can cause washouts, ruts, and movement of material. Plan to inspect and regrade or add 1/2u0022 to 1u0022 of new gravel annually or after major storms, and keep drainage ditches and culverts clear to reduce erosion.

Gravel usually has the lowest up-front cost but requires regular maintenance like grading and topping; expect ongoing costs but inexpensive repairs. Asphalt is midrange for cost and maintenance and lasts longer with periodic sealing; concrete has the highest up-front cost and lowest routine maintenance with the longest lifespan. Choose gravel if you want lower initial cost and easier repairs, and concrete/asphalt if you prefer lower maintenance and a paved look.

Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood; some HOAs and municipalities have requirements about driveway material, width, setbacks, and drainage. Check with the City of Caddo Mills planning or your HOA covenants before ordering gravel to confirm any restrictions or permit needs.

For erosion control on slopes use larger angular stone (1u0022 to 2u0022 crushed rock or rip-rap) combined with geotextile fabric and proper channeling of runoff. Install check terraces, rock-lined swales, or rip-rap at concentrated flow points to slow water and prevent gullying.

Expect total installed gravel driveway costs commonly in the range of $2 to $6 per square foot depending on depth, material, and site access; for a 20x20 driveway (400 sq ft) that equates to about $800 to $2,400. Costs vary with site prep needs, drainage work, and local labor rates, so get multiple contractor estimates and separate material-only pricing from installation.
