Cost depends on material type, truck size, and delivery distance; request a quote for an exact delivered price to Crosby. Typical tri-axle dump trucks used in our network usually carry roughly 10 to 15 tons of gravel, and Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST.

For most Crosby driveways, crushed stone or crushed limestone with fines is the most cost-effective option because it compacts well and resists movement under vehicle traffic. Pea gravel and decorative gravels can be more expensive per ton and tend to migrate, so they require more edging and maintenance. Local availability can affect price and color, so check regional options when you order.

A 100 ft by 12 ft driveway is 1,200 sq ft. At 2u0022 depth you need about 7.4 cubic yards or roughly 10.4 tons; at 3u0022 about 11.1 cubic yards or 15.6 tons; and at 4u0022 about 14.8 cubic yards or 20.7 tons (using ~1.4 tons per cubic yard). We recommend ordering 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft: at 2u0022 depth you need about 2.5 cubic yards or roughly 3.5 tons, and at 3u0022 about 3.7 cubic yards or 5.2 tons. That 2u0022 job would require roughly 140 of 50-lb bags, so bulk delivery is usually faster and less labor-intensive; for projects around 3 tons or more bulk orders from Hello Gravel are typically more cost-effective than bags.

For Crosby's climate and typical soils we usually recommend a minimum of 3 inches of compacted gravel for light-use driveways and 4 inches for regular vehicle traffic. Two inches is acceptable only as a thin top dressing over a well-prepared, compacted base and is more likely to wash or shift during heavy rain. Proper base preparation and edge restraint are more important than thickness alone for long-term performance.

We do not recommend laying gravel directly over living grass; turf will rot and the gravel will sink and shift. Remove turf or topsoil and compact the subgrade for the best results; geotextile fabric is optional and can reduce weed growth and mixing of soil with stone, but it does not replace proper excavation and compaction. Removing turf and preparing a stable base may increase material needs slightly because of added subbase and compaction allowance.

Yes, decorative gravel is commonly used as mulch in Crosby landscapes and works well in hot, dry summers. For 100 sq ft: 2u0022 depth needs about 0.86 tons, 3u0022 about 1.3 tons, and 4u0022 about 1.7 tons (approximate, using ~1.4 tons per cubic yard). Gravel mulch reduces watering and maintenance but may get hot in summer and allows less organic matter to reach soil compared with organic mulches.

For very small touch-ups (a few square feet) 50-lb bags can be convenient, but once your project needs more than about 1 to 2 tons, bulk delivery almost always becomes more cost-effective and far less labor. Keep in mind Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons in many areas, delivery is by dump truck, and bulk saves time and handling compared with hundreds of heavy bags.

A common long-term solution for Crosby is a compacted subbase (4-6u0022 of road base or crushed stone) topped with 3-4u0022 of crushed stone or limestone with fines; add edge restraints to keep material in place.
