Gravel in Fort Davis, TX

Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect roughly $20 to $60 per ton for common crushed stone or pea gravel, plus delivery. In remote West Texas locations like Fort Davis, delivery often adds $50 to $150 or more depending on distance and truck access, so a delivered single ton can commonly land in the $70 to $200 range. Note Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order in many areas, so per-ton cost is usually lower on larger orders.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. Material plus delivery for a full truck to Fort Davis commonly ranges from $400 to $1,200 depending on the stone type, local supply, and haul distance; specialty or imported decorative stone can cost more. Exact pricing depends on supplier rates and road access, so request a quote for your zip code.

For a 100-foot driveway at 12 feet wide and a 3u0022 surface layer, you need about 11 cubic yards, which is roughly 15 to 17 tons; adding a compacted base (4u0022 to 6u0022) will increase the total to 25 to 40 tons. Hello Gravel can deliver materials to Fort Davis, but tailgate spreading is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed; for reliable grading and spreading hire a local contractor or request a spreading quote from a landscaper.

For any job over a few hundred square feet, bulk delivery is almost always cheaper per ton than 50-lb bags. Bags are convenient for very small DIY jobs or tight-access sites, but they cost substantially more per ton and require hauling by hand; bulk delivery from Hello Gravel (subject to the 3-ton minimum) is usually the most economical for Fort Davis projects.

Crush-and-run or crushed 3/4u0022 stone is generally the best choice for West Texas driveways because it compacts well and forms a stable surface that resists rutting. Pea gravel and river rock are rounded and tend to move under vehicle traffic, making them less ideal for primary driveways. Also consider local drainage and freeze/thaw cycles in the Davis Mountains when choosing your depth and base preparation.

There are stabilized gravel systems—such as resin-bound gravel, polymer-stabilized crusher fines, or compacted crushed fines—that lock particles together and provide a firmer surface than loose gravel. These products often require specialized materials and professional installation and may be available from regional suppliers; they are not the same as concrete but can greatly reduce maintenance. Ask our team to check availability in your area and to recommend local installers.

G1 (often called crusher run or dense grade aggregate) is a mix of stone and fines that compacts into a solid base, making it good for sub-base layers. 3/4u0022 crushed stone is a nominal-size, angular aggregate commonly used as a top layer for driveways or as base material where drainage is needed. u0022304u0022 is a regional term used by some suppliers for a 3/4u0022 minus or base mix similar to crusher run; check with your supplier about local naming. For a durable driveway in Fort Davis, use G1 or a 304-style base, topped with 3/4u0022 or other surface stone depending on your preference.

Texas Black is a dark-colored decorative gravel often made from trap rock or other dark aggregates used for accents and modern landscaping. Availability in Fort Davis depends on local suppliers—it may be sourced from outside the immediate region and carry a higher material or freight charge. When placing your order, add a note with color preference and we will check supplier availability and pricing for delivery to your zip code.

A 10×10 patio at a 1u0022 depth requires about 0.15 cubic yards (about 0.2 tons), which is roughly 18 of the 50-lb bags; at a 2u0022 depth you'll need about 35 bags. Bulk delivery is typically cheaper per ton once you need more than a few bags, but Hello Gravel's minimum order is commonly 3 tons, so for very small patios bags may still make sense. Check local bag pricing compared to a bulk quote to decide.

Material plus delivery for a typical residential driveway can range from $500 to $2,000 depending on the driveway size, material chosen, and hauling distance to Fort Davis. Professional spreading or grading is usually an additional cost; expect contractor rates anywhere from a few hundred dollars up to $1,000+ depending on equipment and scope. Hello Gravel can deliver the material and you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but for guaranteed professional spreading and grading, get a separate quote from a local landscaper or contractor.
