Crushed limestone or crushed rock (3/4u0022 minus or similar) is a common choice because it compacts well and provides a stable surface for driveways. Decomposed granite is attractive for paths and patios but can dust in dry heat unless stabilized, while larger river rock or pea gravel offer excellent drainage but tend to shift under traffic. Due to regional sourcing, appearance and exact performance may vary, so add color or use preferences in Order Notes.

A quick rule: 1 ton of typical gravel covers about 115 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, about 77 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and about 58 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. Driveways normally need 4u0022 or more of compacted material, while walkways and patios often use 2u0022 to 3u0022 depending on use.

Costs depend on site access, grading, excavation, and whether you need a compacted crushed‑stone base; a basic gravel driveway installation commonly ranges from a few dollars per sq ft for material alone to roughly $3–$7+ per sq ft including basic prep and compaction. More extensive excavation, drainage work, or labor rates can raise that total, so obtain local contractor quotes for an accurate estimate. We can deliver materials to your contractor or job site with scheduled delivery windows.

In West Texas conditions, plan on light maintenance like raking, filling low spots, and topping up material every 1–3 years, with larger refreshes every 3–7 years depending on traffic and weather. Proper initial base prep, edging, and drainage extend lifespan; with regular upkeep a gravel driveway can last 10–20+ years. Heavy rain events or poor drainage will increase maintenance needs, so address runoff early.

Pea gravel is inexpensive and attractive for play areas and decorative spots but shifts easily and is not ideal for driveways. Crushed limestone compacts well, offers good traction, and is a common, durable choice for driveways and high‑traffic areas. Decomposed granite creates a smooth, natural look for paths and patios but can dust in dry heat and may need stabilizer for heavy use.

Permit and HOA rules vary by property, so check with the City of Hewitt and your homeowners association before starting work. Some HOAs have restrictions on surface color, material type, or curb appeal, and the city may have rules about drainage or driveway alterations. If you need documentation for approvals, we can provide product details and delivery schedules to help with your application.

Heavy rain can cause washouts and ruts, so plan for proper grading, edging, and drainage to divert runoff away from gravel surfaces. Hot, dry periods can increase dust, especially with decomposed granite or fines, so consider stabilizers or periodic watering/compaction to control dust. Schedule deliveries outside extreme heat or immediately after major storms for easier spreading and compaction.

Bulk gravel is almost always cheaper per ton for driveways and larger projects, while bagged gravel is convenient for small landscaping jobs but costs more per unit. Hello Gravel has a 3‑ton minimum order for bulk deliveries, and we deliver by dump truck, which is the most efficient option for yards, driveways, and larger areas. For small touch-ups, bagged material from local stores can be useful, but contact us for bulk quotes when you need several bags worth of material.
