For Four Corners' hot, humid climate, angular crushed stone or crusher-run (a mix of crushed rock and fines) is preferred because it compacts well and resists rutting. Use a compacted crusher-run base for strength and top it with 3/4u0022 crushed stone or pea gravel for appearance and drainage, and consider limestone varieties common to Texas for good local availability.

Clay soils hold water and can cause rutting and settling under traffic, so the key is to create a stable, well-draining base. Install geotextile fabric, place a thick compacted layer of crusher-run or road base (6-8 inches where loading is higher), then add a wearing layer of 3/4u0022 crushed stone; this combination helps separate the clay, improve drainage, and reduce movement.

As a rule of thumb: a 1-car driveway (roughly 10' x 20' or 200 sq ft) needs about 1.7 tons at 2u0022 depth and about 3.5 tons at 4u0022 depth; a 2-car driveway (roughly 20' x 20' or 400 sq ft) needs about 3.5 tons at 2u0022 and about 6.9 tons at 4u0022. Gravel density and coverage vary, so round up and add 10% for compaction and waste — and remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum order.

Costs depend on site prep, access, and how much grading or drainage work is required; simple grading and compaction for a small driveway often ranges from a few hundred dollars to around $1,500, while larger or more complex jobs can run higher. For accurate pricing, get multiple local quotes — Hello Gravel can help with material costs so you can separate material price from labor and installation estimates.

In Four Corners' climate, plan for light maintenance every 6 to 12 months (raking, filling low spots, and addressing weeds) and adding 1 to 2 inches of fresh gravel every 3 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather. With proper drainage and routine upkeep, a gravel driveway can function well for 10 to 30 years, though high-traffic areas or poor drainage shorten that lifespan.

Local city rules and HOA covenants vary, so check your HOA guidelines and contact the Four Corners or county planning office before installing large areas of decorative gravel. Common restrictions include color, rock size, coverage limits, and requirements to maintain proper drainage; keeping documentation of approvals helps avoid disputes.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading. The driver will assess safety and site conditions on arrival, so be prepared to spread or hire local labor if precise placement is required.

Clear vegetation, mark boundaries, and remove low-hanging branches or obstacles so a tri-axle dump truck can safely access the drop zone; also ensure a stable entrance so trucks do not get stuck. If you need material placed in a tight or distant spot, mention it at checkout so we can advise on access limitations or alternative placement options.
