In West Texas, crushed limestone or caliche-based gravels are often the most cost-effective choices for driveways because they are locally abundant. Recycled concrete or crushed asphalt can also be economical depending on local supply. Prices vary by season and supplier, so compare quotes for the cheapest local option.

For a 100-foot driveway at 12 feet wide, 3 inches depth equals about 11.1 cubic yards (roughly 15.5 tons), and 4 inches depth equals about 14.8 cubic yards (roughly 20.8 tons). West Texas driveways typically use 3-4 inches compacted for normal passenger use; increase to 4-6 inches for heavier vehicles. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or request help to get a precise quantity for your project.

A 20x20 area at 3 inches deep needs about 3.7 cubic yards (roughly 5.2 tons) of gravel. Material plus delivery for that quantity is commonly in the $300 to $700 range, while spreading and compacting by a contractor can add $200 to $700 depending on access and labor rates. Prices vary by supplier and whether tailgate spreading is possible, so request a detailed estimate for your address.

Generally, 2 inches is too thin for a driveway in Hillsboro; it will not compact into a stable surface and will wear quickly. We recommend at least 3-4 inches compacted for passenger vehicle driveways and 4-6 inches for heavier use. Also consider a good base layer (crusher-run or compacted subbase) if the soil is soft or poorly draining.

A common durable setup is a compacted base of crusher-run (3/4u0022 minus) topped with a 3/8u0022 to 3/4u0022 crushed stone surface (often called 57 or 3/4u0022 clean). Crusher-run has fines that help lock the base together, while top grades provide good drainage and traction. Local suppliers in West Texas may offer slightly different mixes, so ask for recommendations based on your slope and traffic.

One cubic yard of gravel covers about 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth. For other depths, divide the number of square feet by 27 and then multiply by the depth in inches divided by 12 to get cubic yards. One cubic yard typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on material type and moisture.

The most cost-effective option is usually delivery by local dump truck, especially if you order the 3-ton minimum or more; full truckloads reduce the per-ton delivery cost. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery (2+ business days) and next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. If you can pick up directly from a nearby supplier with a suitable vehicle, that can save on delivery, but check local availability first.

Many local suppliers and contracted haulers deliver to Hillsboro addresses, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Professional spreading, grading, and compaction are usually billed separately by contractors; typical labor costs vary widely but often run from a few hundred to several hundred dollars for small driveways. Ask for separate line items for material, delivery, and installation when getting quotes.

Cheaper alternatives can include recycled concrete, crushed asphalt, or compacted native material (caliche), which are often less expensive than premium crushed stone. Recycled materials can save money but may behave differently for drainage and long-term maintenance. Compare lifecycle costs—initial savings may be offset by more frequent maintenance—so get local contractor input for Hillsboro conditions.

Hello Gravel can arrange delivery to Hillsboro and will schedule a dump truck for your order; spreading is offered at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Ballpark material+delivery estimates: a small 20x20 driveway might cost $300 to $800 total, while a 100-foot driveway (12' wide at 3-4u0022) is commonly $900 to $2,500 depending on depth and material.
