Gravel in Jack County, TX

Delivered gravel prices in Jack County usually range from about $20 to $50 per ton depending on material type (crushed limestone, pea gravel, recycled concrete), local availability, and haul distance. A rough equivalent per cubic yard is $28 to $70, using a typical conversion of 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Final cost is shown at checkout and can vary with supplier, delivery location, and seasonal demand.

For heavy-use driveways and ranch roads in north Texas clay, crushed limestone and crushed concrete are the most common choices because they lock together and compact well. Pea gravel and rounded river rock look nice but can shift and rut on clay subgrades, so they are better for decorative areas or well-prepared surfaces. Use 3/4u0022 minus or 3/4u0022-1u0022 crushed stone for top layers and consider a coarser base layer for durability.

Using a typical 4u0022 compacted depth for a residential driveway, estimates are: 10x30 (300 sq ft) needs about 5.2 tons, 12x40 (480 sq ft) needs about 8.3 tons, and 16x50 (800 sq ft) needs about 13.8 tons. If you want a heavier 6u0022 section for higher loads, increase quantities by about 50%.

Local suppliers commonly operate out of nearby towns like Jacksboro, Bryson, and occasionally Mineral Wells or Graham, but exact source depends on the material ordered and current stock. Haul fees vary with distance, road access, and truck type; short local hauls may be included while longer rural deliveries can add $75 to $250 or more. Hello Gravel shows the delivered price and any extra haul charges during checkout so you see the final cost before ordering.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed. You can request spreading during checkout and the driver will assess safety and logistics on arrival. For consistent professional spreading, grading, and compaction it is best to hire a local contractor.

Contractor costs for spreading, grading, and compaction vary, but expect roughly $40 to $100 per hour for labor and equipment combined, or about $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot depending on site conditions. For a typical residential driveway project, total contractor fees often fall between $200 and $800 depending on size and complexity. Ask for itemized estimates from local contractors so you can compare to the cost of DIY spreading.

In Jack County's hot summers and sporadic heavy rains, driveways usually need light maintenance every 1 to 3 years—raking, adding 1 to 2 inches of fresh gravel in low spots, and regrading washouts after storms. More substantial repairs, like adding a new surface layer or rebuilding eroded sections, typically occur every 5 to 10 years depending on traffic and drainage. Regular upkeep and good drainage will extend the life of the surface.

Prepare a stable base by removing organic topsoil, installing a compacted sub-base (4 to 6 inches of crushed rock), and using geotextile fabric on very soft ground to prevent migration. Create a slight crown (1/4u0022 to 1/2u0022 per foot) and grade to side ditches or culverts to move water away; avoid creating low spots where water can pool. For areas at risk of flash flooding, consider raised approaches, adequate culverts, and consulting local county road rules before altering drainage paths.

For parking pads and heavier vehicle use, 3/4u0022 minus or 3/4u0022-1u0022 crushed stone provides good compaction and load-bearing capacity. Walkways and decorative beds can use pea gravel or smaller screened material (1/8u0022 to 3/8u0022) for comfort and appearance, but expect more migration on clay subgrades. If you want a stable decorative surface, install a crushed rock base and edge restraint before adding the finer top layer.
