A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons. Using local per-ton ranges, a delivered load often falls between about $300 and $1,000 depending on material, distance, and any delivery fees; contact Hello Gravel for a firm truckload price for your zip code.

Calculate volume first: length x width x depth. For example, a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 3 inches compacted is about 11.1 cubic yards, roughly 15 to 17 tons of gravel; use our material calculator or contact us with your exact dimensions for a precise estimate.

Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway and is best suited to footpaths or decorative areas. For passenger vehicles in Boerne's soils and occasional heavy rains, plan on 4 inches compacted for light use and 6 inches or more for heavier loads or poor subgrade.

Cost depends on length, depth, and material. As an example, a 20 ft wide by 100 ft long driveway at 4 inches depth uses about 35 tons of material; at $40 per ton that’s roughly $1,400 in material plus delivery and compaction costs—request a quote for an exact total.

Order in bulk to hit the minimum 3-ton threshold, choose locally sourced materials to reduce haul distance, and schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) rather than rush service. Also consider recycled crushed concrete for base layers; get multiple quotes through Hello Gravel to compare total delivered costs.

Gravels with fines (such as crusher-run or pit-run) compact very tightly but do not harden like concrete. If you need a solid, non-moving surface, consider compacted crusher-run with proper base preparation or ask about stabilization products (resin or binders) and engineered base mixes for a more rigid surface.

Gravel can reduce moisture retention and hiding places for some pests, which helps discourage certain insects and rodents compared to wood mulch. It is not a full pest-control solution—maintain good drainage, trim vegetation away from foundations, and address standing water to reduce insect problems further.

Avoid pea gravel for driveways, steep slopes, or areas with heavy wheel traffic because it shifts and can be hard to move through. Pea gravel works well for patios, play areas, and decorative beds, but for vehicular areas choose larger crushed stone or compactable base materials.

Yes—Boerne and the surrounding Hill Country commonly use light-colored limestone and decomposed granite for the local aesthetic and good drainage. Many homeowners choose these materials for xeriscaping, walkways, and driveways because they match the regional look and perform well in hot, sometimes heavy-rain conditions.
