Gravel in Edgewood, TX

In Edgewood and other small West Texas towns, delivered gravel typically ranges from about $30 to $65 per ton, which roughly equates to $40 to $85 per cubic yard depending on stone type and moisture. Heavier or specialty materials, longer haul distances, and next-day delivery fees can push prices higher. Exact pricing is available when you enter your zip code on our site or call our team for a local quote.

For driveways, crushed 3/4u0022 stone or crusher run (a mix of stone and fines) is popular because it compacts well and holds up to vehicle traffic. For patios and seating areas, pea gravel or 3/8u0022 crushed stone gives a smoother finish and is comfortable underfoot; lighter-colored stone helps reflect heat. Due to West Texas heat and occasional heavy rain, choose materials that compact, resist washout, and match local drainage needs.

Estimate quantities by area and depth: a typical 1-car driveway (12' x 20') at 3u0022 depth needs about 2.2 cubic yards (roughly 3 tons); a 2-car (20' x 20') at 3u0022 needs about 3.7 cubic yards (about 5 tons). A long rural driveway 14' wide and 200' long at 3u0022 depth needs about 26 cubic yards (about 34 tons). Add about 10% extra for compaction and waste, and order at least the 3-ton minimum through Hello Gravel.

In clay soils and West Texas heat, expect routine maintenance every 1 to 3 years: regrading after storms, adding a top-up layer, and raking to redistribute material. Typical top-up material costs are in the same per-ton range ($30-$65/ton), plus any equipment or labor if you hire help. Proper base preparation, edging, and drainage reduce how often you need to add gravel and lower long-term costs.

Yes—when installed correctly, gravel is effective for surface drainage and reducing erosion on slopes. Use larger rock or rip-rap at water entry points, terraces or stone berms on steep runs, and geotextile fabric under the gravel to limit mixing with clay soils. Because West Texas can get sudden heavy rains, combine gravel with proper grading and channels to move water safely away from structures.

DIY installation saves on labor but requires equipment for grading and compaction; you’ll mainly pay for the material ($30-$65/ton) plus rental costs if you need a compactor or skid steer. Professional installation adds grading, compaction, base prep, and edging, and can range widely—small driveway projects often cost several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on scope and site access—so get local quotes. If you’re unsure about drainage, clay soils, or truck access, a pro can avoid costly mistakes.

3/4u0022 crushed stone is ideal for driveways and base layers because it compacts well and handles vehicle loads. 3/8u0022 or fines-blend stones are good for patios, walkways, and compacted surfaces where a smoother finish is desired. Pea gravel is decorative and comfortable for seating areas or play spaces but does not compact well for driveways; choose lighter colors to reduce heat absorption in West Texas.

A good rule of thumb is about 1.3 tons per cubic yard for typical crushed stone, but density varies by material and moisture (ranges about 1.2 to 1.5 tons/yd3). Calculate required cubic yards from area and depth, then multiply by ~1.3 to get tons, and add about 10% for compaction and waste. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum per order and offers a material calculator on the site if you need help.
