Gravel in Graham, TX

Prices vary by material and supplier, but in Graham you can generally expect basic driveway gravel delivered for about $30 to $60 per ton. Decorative or specialty gravels cost more. Exact pricing depends on local availability, distance from the quarry, and order size—check your zip code for precise rates.

Tonnage depends on the driveway width and desired depth. For example, a 100 ft by 10 ft driveway at 2 inches deep needs roughly 8.5 to 9 tons, while a 100 ft by 12 ft driveway needs about 10 to 11 tons. Delivery cost varies by supplier and distance, but expect per-ton pricing or a truckload fee; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers next-day delivery options where available.

The most budget-friendly durable option is usually crushed limestone or crushed stone in a 3/4u0022 size, which compacts well and resists movement. Recycled crushed concrete can be cheaper but may look rougher and have more variability. Regional availability in West Texas affects price, so requesting local quotes will show the best cheap-but-durable choice.

'Gravel' is a general term that includes rounded pea gravel and angular crushed stone, so prices vary by type. Crushed stone (angular) often costs a bit more than basic rounded gravel but performs better for driveways because it locks together and compacts. In some cases crushed recycled material can be cheaper, so check local options and get quotes for both types.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries roughly 10 to 15 tons of gravel; a single truckload delivered to Graham often falls in the $300 to $900 range depending on material, distance, and dump location. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum, and truckload pricing can be more cost-effective per ton for larger jobs. For exact truckload pricing, enter your zip code or contact our sales team for local quotes.

A 20x20 area at 2 inches deep uses about 3.5 to 4.5 tons of gravel, so you will meet Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum but should order extra for compaction and coverage. Using a midrange price of $40 per ton, materials would be about $140 to $180, plus delivery which varies by supplier and distance. Expect a total ballpark of $200 to $400 depending on material chosen and whether spreading or extra services are requested.

Two inches is usually only a top dressing and is not enough for a driveway that will see regular vehicle traffic. For West Texas soils and heavier vehicles, a typical recommendation is a compacted base of 3 to 6 inches of crushed rock, plus a 1 to 2 inch wearing layer on top. Increase base thickness for heavy trucks or poor subgrade, and consider proper compaction to prevent rutting.

Yes—stabilized or resin-bound gravels and polymer-stabilized mixes are available that bind gravel into a firmer surface. These products may not be stocked everywhere in West Texas, but local suppliers can sometimes source them or recommend contractors who install them. Ask for product availability in the checkout notes or contact our team to get quotes for stabilized options.

Common issues include displacement, ruts from heavy traffic, dust in dry West Texas weather, and weed growth. Plan for periodic maintenance like adding fresh gravel every few years, regrading low spots, compacting after installation, and using edging or geotextile to limit spread. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform it at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.

For heat, dry conditions, and heavy vehicles common in West Texas, choose angular, crushed stone (3/4u0022 to 1u0022) or road base material that compacts well. Start with a thicker compacted base (3 to 6 inches) of larger aggregate, then a smaller crushed stone wearing surface. Regional sourcing means materials can vary, so check local product descriptions and ask our team for recommendations based on your load and climate.
