Gravel in Huntington, TX

In Huntington, TX, delivered gravel commonly ranges between about $35 and $85 per ton depending on the type (crushed stone, pea gravel, river rock), distance from the supplier, and truck access. Regional sourcing and seasonal demand can move prices, so use Hello Gravel’s checkout or request a quote for an exact delivered price to your zip code. Note our minimum order is 3 tons and some premium rounded rock types tend to sit at the higher end of the range.

A tri-axle dump truck load (roughly 12 to 14 tons) of common gravel delivered to a Huntington driveway typically costs between $400 and $1,000 total, depending on material, distance, and driveway access. Smaller loads or difficult access can raise the price; Hello Gravel may offer free delivery in many areas but always confirm on the quote. Drivers may be able to tailgate-spread at their discretion but spreading/extra labor can add to the cost.

Calculate volume first: Length x Width x Depth (in feet). For example, a 100 ft x 12 ft driveway at 3 inches (0.25 ft) depth is 100 x 12 x 0.25 = 300 cubic feet, or 11.1 cubic yards (divide by 27). Multiply cubic yards by about 1.3–1.5 to convert to tons (use 1.4 tons/yd3 as a common estimate), so that example needs about 15.5 tons; local rock density can vary so round up and check with your Hello Gravel quote.

Buying bulk (by the ton) is almost always cheaper per ton than bagged gravel for Huntington projects, because bags have higher handling and packaging costs. Use bags only for very small projects, walkways, or when you cannot accept a truck delivery; a 50 lb bag is convenient but becomes costly for driveways or larger areas. Hello Gravel’s platform lets you compare bulk pricing from local suppliers so you can see savings for larger orders.

Many suppliers serving Huntington can do partial loads, but minimums and fees vary by supplier and truck routing; Hello Gravel’s standard minimum is 3 tons. If you need less than the minimum, expect a small-load fee or option to buy bags from local retailers. Always request the delivery option at checkout and contact customer service as soon as possible to discuss special delivery needs.

In West Texas markets like Huntington, crushed stone (crushed limestone or caliche) is generally the most economical option because it is common and easy to source. Pea gravel is usually mid-range, and smoothed river rock or decorative boulders are typically the most expensive due to extra processing and transport. Local availability matters: if a type must be hauled a long distance into Huntington, that will raise the price.

A 50 lb bag of pea gravel contains about 0.018 cubic yards (roughly 0.49 cubic feet), which covers about 6 square feet at a 1-inch depth or about 3 square feet at 2 inches. Choose bags for very small patches, planter beds, or touch-ups where a truck delivery is impractical; for driveways, walkways, or larger landscaping jobs in Huntington, bulk delivery is usually faster and much cheaper per cubic yard. Remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum for bulk orders when planning small projects.

Standard delivery windows are 2+ business days from ordering, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-week delivery is commonly possible in Huntington but depends on supplier inventory and truck routing in West Texas; place orders early if you have a tight schedule. Check your estimated delivery date during checkout or contact our team to discuss expedited options.

Rules vary by location; you should check with Huntington city hall (or the county) and your HOA if applicable before installing a new driveway. Common issues include work in the public right-of-way, curb or apron modifications, drainage and erosion control, and visible materials that HOAs may regulate. When in doubt, contact local authorities and consult Hello Gravel’s team to confirm typical driveway prep and material suggestions.

DIY costs include the delivered material plus prep and equipment rental (plate compactor, wheelbarrows, rakes); for a typical driveway expect to pay material plus around $70–$200 per day for rentals and a day or two of labor. Hiring a contractor for delivery, spreading, grading, and compaction commonly adds several hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on site prep and driveway length, but it saves time and ensures proper compaction. Get a Hello Gravel material quote first, then compare local contractor bids to decide whether DIY or pro installation is more cost-effective for your Huntington project.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 12 to 14 tons of gravel (roughly 8.5 to 10 cubic yards for most gravels). Because Hello Gravel’s deliveries are usually by these trucks, order planning should account for full-truck quantities and where the truck can safely dump in your Huntington driveway. If you need less than a truckload, ask about partial loads or bag options when you request a quote.
