Crushed limestone and crushed rock are common choices in the Glenn Heights area because they compact well and resist migration on hot, dry soils. Pea gravel drains well and is good for decorative areas but can shift under vehicle traffic. Choose material based on use: crusher-run or base rock for driveways, 3/8u0022 to 3/4u0022 decorative limestone or river rock for patios and landscaping; regional sourcing will affect color and texture.

Tonnage depends on depth and gravel density, but typical estimates: a 2-car driveway (20'x20') at 4u0022 depth needs about 5 to 8 tons; a 12'x12' patio at 2u0022 depth needs about 1 to 2 tons; a 100 ft walkway (3' wide) at 2-3u0022 depth needs about 3 to 6 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or order a little extra to allow for compaction and settling.

For most Glenn Heights driveways, prepare a stable subgrade, install geotextile fabric if drainage is poor, add 6 to 8 inches of compacted base rock (crusher-run), then top with 2 to 3 inches of finished gravel. Heavier-use driveways benefit from an 8 to 12-inch base. Proper slope and drainage away from foundations are essential in West Texas where intense storms can cause runoff.

Regulations vary by property: Glenn Heights city ordinances and neighborhood HOAs may have rules about driveway materials, front-yard landscaping, and allowable gravel colors or sizes. Before ordering, check your HOA covenants and contact Glenn Heights city planning or code enforcement for local rules. If you have an HOA, ask for written guidelines to avoid extra work or removal costs later.

Labor costs depend on site prep, access, edging, compaction, and any demolition; for Glenn Heights expect labor and equipment for a basic gravel driveway to range from about $1,000 to $4,000, with small jobs at the low end and full regrades or heavy base installation at the high end. Some contractors charge per square foot ($1 to $3+ per sq ft) or per hour for equipment and crew. Hello Gravel can help connect you to local contractors who offer grading, compaction, and edging services when you request a quote.

In a hot, dry West Texas climate, plan on routine maintenance once or twice per year: rake and regrade low spots after heavy rains, add fresh gravel (often 1/4 to 1/2 inch layer) every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic, and address dust or washouts as needed. Annual costs are typically low—minor topping can be under $100 for small areas—but full resurfacing or significant regrading can cost several hundred to a few thousand dollars. Good drainage and proper base reduce long-term maintenance needs.

Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost (roughly $1 to $3 per sq ft installed) but requires more frequent topping and grading. Asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs ($3 to $10+ per sq ft depending on specs) with lower routine maintenance but occasional sealing or crack repair. Pavers are the most expensive initially but offer long-life durability and easier localized repairs; choose based on budget, maintenance willingness, and project goals.
