Gravel in Dunbar-Manhattan Heights, TX

Prices depend on material type and local supplier, but in the Lubbock/Dunbar-Manhattan Heights area gravel commonly ranges from about $35 to $75 per ton delivered.

Cost for a single dump-truck load depends on truck size, tonnage, and distance from the supplier; a typical tri-axle load delivered to Dunbar-Manhattan Heights often falls in the $400 to $1,200 range. Some areas include delivery in per-ton pricing while others add a flat truck fee; Hello Gravel shows delivered totals during checkout so you see both material and delivery charges. Tailgate dumping is standard, but spreading is at the driver's discretion.

Costs vary with depth, prep work, and whether you hire a contractor to grade and compact. As a rough example: materials for a 200 ft by 12 ft driveway at a 4u0022 depth are about 40-45 tons (roughly $1,400 to $3,400 in material at $35–$75/ton), delivery $0–$400, and contractor labor/compaction can range $1,200 to $3,000 depending on site prep. For an accurate estimate request a quote from Hello Gravel and ask local contractors for labor bids since soil conditions and driveway access change prices.

At 200 ft by 12 ft the area is 2,400 sq ft. Typical volumes: 2u0022 depth ≈ 21 tons, 3u0022 ≈ 31 tons, 4u0022 ≈ 42 tons, and 6u0022 ≈ 62 tons, using a regional conversion of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. For a typical gravel driveway finish 3u0022 to 4u0022 is common, but local soil or heavy-vehicle use may require a thicker base.

Crushed limestone or caliche commonly used in the Lubbock area is a good choice; formats like 3/4u0022 crushed stone, #57 stone, or '21A' mix (stones with some fines) compact well and resist rutting. Use larger, clean rock (1u0022 to 1.5u0022) for a base layer and a smaller crushed stone or fines on top for a smooth, compacted surface. Regional suppliers may offer locally preferred blends—ask Hello Gravel for local recommendations.

Hello Gravel coordinates deliveries from trusted local suppliers and independent dump-truck haulers serving the Lubbock/Dunbar-Manhattan Heights area.

Yes. Spring and fall are busier for landscaping and driveways, which can push lead times longer and sometimes increase prices. Heavy rains or high summer heat can affect access, compaction quality, and scheduling; during busy periods next-day service may be limited. Hello Gravel shows available delivery dates during checkout and offers a next-day option when possible for orders placed before noon CST.

Hello Gravel provides fast online quotes and can often schedule deliveries the same week depending on supplier and truck availability. On-site estimates for grading or full installation are typically provided by local contractors rather than Hello Gravel, but we can connect you with pros who do on-site assessments. For next-day delivery choose that option at checkout (orders must be placed before noon CST and may incur an additional fee).

A typical tri-axle dump truck used locally carries roughly 10–14 cubic yards (about 14–20 tons depending on rock type). One 12 cubic-yard load covers roughly 1,296 sq ft at a 3u0022 depth, so a 200 ft by 12 ft driveway (2,400 sq ft) would need about two such loads at that depth. If you prefer fewer truck movements order larger loads or multiple trucks; Hello Gravel shows truck size and load estimates in the checkout.

Regulations vary by location; Dunbar-Manhattan Heights is in the Lubbock area so check with the City of Lubbock building department for local driveway, drainage, and impervious-surface rules. If you are in a neighborhood with an HOA, review covenants for surface material, color, and maintenance rules before ordering. When in doubt contact your local permitting office and your HOA before scheduling delivery.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally from local quarries and suppliers, color and texture can vary from photos. You can add color preferences in Order Notes, and we recommend requesting a sample or small test delivery if color matching is important. If the material does not meet your expectations contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly so we can help resolve the issue.
