You have a few options: local landscape supply yards and quarries in the Texas Hill Country, big-box stores that sell bagged gravel, or online marketplaces like Hello Gravel that connect you to local suppliers and haulers. For bulk jobs, landscape yards and quarries usually offer the best pricing and delivery options. Always check availability for your zip code.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 17 tons). Using the $25 to $55 per-ton range, material cost alone would be about $350 to $950 for a full truckload, with final cost depending on delivery fees, tipping charges, and material type. Ask suppliers for an all-in quote so you know truck and delivery fees up front.

One ton of gravel is about 0.7 cubic yards by volume, so many pickup beds can hold the volume, but weight is the limiting factor. Most full-size pickups have payload limits between about 1,500 and 3,000 lbs; 1 ton is 2,000 lbs, so check your truck's payload rating in the owner's manual and avoid overloading. When in doubt, have the supplier deliver or split loads to stay within safe payload limits.

Buy in bulk (tons or cubic yards) from a local supplier rather than buying bagged material, and schedule delivery to avoid extra hauling fees. Choose common, locally sourced gravels rather than specialty or colored stones to keep costs down, and compare quotes from at least two suppliers or use Hello Gravel to shop multiple local options. If you can transport small quantities yourself, picking up at the yard can save on delivery fees, but factor in truck size and weight limits.

A 10-cubic-yard load equals about 14 tons (10 yd3 x roughly 1.4 tons/yd3). Using the Barton Creek price range of $25 to $55 per ton, expect material costs around $350 to $770, not including delivery or any truck minimums or fees. Confirm with suppliers for exact pricing and any minimum-order requirements.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. As a quick rule: at a 2-inch depth it covers about 162 sq ft, at 3 inches about 108 sq ft, and at 4 inches about 81 sq ft. Remember to allow extra for compaction and slopes; order about 10% extra for small jobs and 5-7% for larger, straight runs.

A good rule of thumb for most crushed stone and gravel is about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so 1 ton is roughly 0.7 cubic yards. For precise work, ask your supplier for the material's specific density because moisture, rock type, and gradation change weight. Use the ton-to-yard conversion when getting quotes so you compare material and delivery correctly.

Standard delivery windows are typically 2 or more business days, with next-day delivery sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver's discretion; request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety and access on arrival since spreading is not guaranteed. Contact customer service quickly to change orders before dispatch; Hello Gravel can often accommodate requests prior to processing but changes are not guaranteed.
