Gravel delivery in Edwards County, TX

Prices vary by type and supplier, but in Edwards County expect delivered gravel to range roughly $25 to $55 per ton. Common base materials like crushed limestone usually fall toward the lower end, while decorative pea gravel or specialty rock is toward the higher end. Final price depends on distance from the quarry, truck access, and whether delivery is standard or next-day.

For a typical backyard path or patio, calculate area in square feet, choose a depth (2-3 inches for walkways, 3-4 inches for patios), then convert to cubic yards (area x depth / 27). For example, a 200 sq ft path at 3 inches needs about 2.2 cubic yards (~2.9 tons); at Edwards County prices that runs roughly $75 to $160 delivered. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for an exact estimate.

A delivered dump-truck load cost depends on truck size and material, but expect a single residential truckload to range roughly $300 to $1,200. That range reflects smaller single-axle loads and larger tri-axle loads plus material type and haul distance. Hello Gravel shows delivered pricing up front and the minimum order is 3 tons for most areas.

It depends on the truck: a common single-axle dump may carry about 6 to 10 tons, while a tri-axle residential dump often carries about 12 to 20 tons depending on local weight limits and material density. In Edwards County, road and bridge limits or local hauling rules can change actual loads, so your supplier or driver will confirm the capacity. If you need an exact load, ask us to specify truck type when you order.

One cubic yard of gravel will usually fit in the bed of a full-size pickup, but 1 cubic yard of typical gravel weighs about 2,400 to 3,000 lbs (around 1.2 to 1.5 tons). That can exceed some pickups' payload ratings and risk suspension or tire damage. If you plan to pick up material yourself in Edwards County, check your truck's payload rating and consider smaller loads or a contractor truck for delivery.

Ordering bulk delivered by the ton is usually the most cost-effective for medium to large projects; crushed local limestone typically offers the best price per ton in Edwards County. If you can pick up material yourself, local quarries or suppliers sometimes offer lower 'cash-and-carry' rates, and recycled crushed concrete is often cheaper where available. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and choose standard delivery (2+ business days) to avoid rush fees.

Costs vary by length, depth, and material. As an example, a 20 ft wide by 50 ft long driveway (1,000 sq ft) at a common 4-inch depth needs about 13.8 cubic yards (roughly 18 tons); at $25 to $55 per ton delivered, material cost would be about $450 to $990, plus any grading or compaction labor. A shorter 20 ft by 20 ft drive (400 sq ft) at 4 inches needs roughly 5.5 cubic yards (~7 tons), costing about $175 to $385 delivered; local haul distance and site prep can change those numbers.

Match the gravel size and type to the use: 3/4u0022 crushed stone or base rock for driveways and compaction, 1/2u0022 minus or screenings for a stable walkway, and pea gravel or river rock for decorative areas. In Edwards County you may see more limestone and locally sourced river rock; color and texture can vary by supplier.
