Gravel in Kilgore, TX

Gravel prices in Kilgore generally vary by type and quality — expect roughly $25 to $60 per ton for common base or decorative gravels, with premium decorative stones running higher. A tri-axle dump truck commonly carries about 10 to 12 tons, so a full truckload of material alone often falls in the $250 to $700 range before delivery fees. Final cost depends on material type, local supplier pricing, and delivery distance; contact our team for a firm quote for your zip code.

Texas black gravel is a specialty decorative product and availability can vary by supplier in the West Texas/Kilgore area. You can request it at checkout or add a color note to your order; we will check local supplier stock and confirm availability and any price premium. If it is not available locally, we can suggest visually similar alternatives that suppliers in your area carry.

For driveways, crushed, angular stone (like 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57) is usually the better choice because it locks together and compacts for a stable surface. River rock and pea gravel are smooth and rounded, which makes them slip and shift under vehicle traffic, so they are better for decorative areas, walkways, or drainage features. Consider local conditions in Kilgore and a compacted base or geotextile underlayer for best long-term performance.

Hello Gravel typically has a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and delivery charges vary by supplier and distance — many areas offer free delivery while rural deliveries may carry a fee. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout but note there are no guarantees.

Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324, and then multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to 1.5 to estimate tons (material density varies). For example, a 20 ft x 10 ft driveway at 3 inches deep needs (200 x 3) / 324 = 1.85 cubic yards, which is roughly 2.5 to 2.8 tons. If you’re unsure, send us your project dimensions and desired depth and we’ll calculate it for you.

Buying in bulk is almost always the most cost-effective option for projects larger than a few square feet because per-ton pricing drops significantly compared with 50 lb bags. Bags are convenient for very small jobs or retail locations but become more expensive and time consuming once you need the equivalent of 30 to 50 bags or more. For most driveways and large landscaping jobs in Kilgore, a bulk delivery (minimum 3 tons with Hello Gravel) is the better value.

Suppliers in the Kilgore area commonly carry pea gravel (3/8u0022), river rock (1u0022 to 3u0022), #57 crushed stone (about 3/4u0022), 3/4u0022 crushed limestone, screenings/stone dust, decomposed granite, and road base. Decorative color and texture may vary due to regional sourcing, so expect some variation in shade and stone composition. If you need a specific size or material for erosion control or drainage, tell us and we will match you with local suppliers who carry it.

A 50 lb bag is about 0.0185 cubic yards and will cover roughly 6 square feet at a 1-inch depth (about 3 sq ft at 2 inches). If your project needs more than about 30 to 50 bags, bulk delivery becomes more practical and cost-effective. For larger yard projects, driveways, or erosion control, order bulk so you only pay for the material once and avoid heavy lifting and many trips to the store.

For dust and erosion control on rural properties near Kilgore, angular crushed stone, road base, and larger 1.5u0022 to 2.5u0022 rock work better than rounded pea or river stone because they interlock and provide a stable surface. Adding a graded base and occasional fines or a topcoat of screenings helps reduce dust; geotextile fabric underneath prevents mixing with soft subsoil. Regular maintenance such as grading and adding fresh material after heavy traffic or rain will prolong effectiveness.

Many local haulers that work with Hello Gravel can offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion if you request it at checkout, but this is not guaranteed. If you need professional spreading or installation crews, that service is usually booked separately and can add roughly $50 to $200 or more depending on the scope, crew size, and time required. Contact our team with project details and photos for a tailored estimate and to confirm whether spreading is available for your delivery.
