Gravel in Brentwood, TX

Price depends on type (crushed stone, pea gravel, river rock) and supplier, but expect roughly $30 to $70 per ton in the Texas region. Delivery, local availability, and material grade can change the final price; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will show the exact price for your zip code at checkout.

You can order gravel through Hello Gravel’s online marketplace which connects you with local suppliers and dump-truck delivery in the Brentwood area. Local landscape supply yards and stone quarries also sell gravel, but using Hello Gravel simplifies pricing, scheduling, and delivery.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel; cost equals the per-ton price times tonnage plus any hauling fee. For example, at $40/ton a 10-ton load would be about $400 before any delivery or site-fee; contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote for Brentwood.

One ton of common crushed gravel is roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards and will physically fit in many full-size pickup beds, but you must check your truck’s payload rating and local load laws. Note that Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so single-ton deliveries are not typically available through our service.

The 70/30 rule usually refers to soil mixes, not gravel; for gravel use, it is best used as a drainage layer or decorative top layer rather than bulk-mixed into planting soil. For containers or specialized mixes, a common approach is roughly 70% soil to 30% grit or coarse sand for drainage, but large amounts of gravel in beds can reduce rootable soil and should be used cautiously.

No. Gravel is mineral aggregate used for drainage, driveways, and decoration, while Dillo Dirt (Austin compost product) and topsoil are organic-rich materials meant for planting. Gravel will not support plant growth like topsoil and should not be substituted when you need soil for planting.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess safety and site access on arrival and decide whether spreading is feasible.

To estimate, multiply length by width by depth (in feet), divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then convert to tons (1 cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on type). For example, a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 3 inches deep is about 0.6 cubic yards, which is less than our 3-ton minimum; most small driveways will need multiple cubic yards, so check the Hello Gravel material calculator for a site-specific estimate.

Yes. Central Texas soils can be clayey and heavy rain events are common, so choose crushed stone or angular aggregates that lock together and drain well for driveways and paths. Decorative river rock may look nice but can shift in wet conditions, so consider local climate and intended use when selecting material.

Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days from order confirmation, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can pick your preferred delivery date at checkout and Hello Gravel will confirm timing with the local supplier and hauler.
