Gravel in La Feria, TX

A typical tri-axle truckload in La Feria carries about 10-12 tons (roughly 7-9 cubic yards). Material type and local supply affect price, but common driveway gravel in West Texas often runs roughly $40 to $80 per ton delivered; total for a full truckload is commonly in the $400 to $1,000 range. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum, shows exact pricing for your zip code at checkout, and can confirm delivery fees and timing before you buy.

At 2u0022 depth, 400 sq ft needs about 2.5 cubic yards (≈3.5 tons); at 3u0022 depth it needs about 3.7 cubic yards (≈5.2 tons). Using a typical delivered price range of $40 to $80 per ton, materials would cost about $140 to $280 for 2u0022 depth and $210 to $420 for 3u0022 depth, not including spreading labor. Tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion and spreading labor or machine work will add to the total.

Prices vary by gravel type and supplier, but a common range in the West Texas area is about $40 to $80 per ton delivered. One cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.4 tons, so expect about $56 to $112 per cubic yard based on that ton range.

For small amounts, bagged or pickup loads from a local quarry can be cheapest if you have a truck and time to load. For anything above the 3-ton minimum, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel is usually more cost-effective because per-ton prices fall and delivery is managed for you. If you need under 3 tons, compare local pickup or retail yards since bulk delivery minimums can increase total cost for very small projects.

A single ton of gravel covers roughly 227 sq ft at 2u0022 depth and about 152 sq ft at 3u0022 depth (1 cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2u0022). A typical tri-axle truckload of 10 to 12 tons will therefore cover approximately 2,000 to 2,700 sq ft at a 2u0022 depth and about 1,500 to 1,800 sq ft at a 3u0022 depth. Exact coverage depends on the truck’s load size and the material’s compaction.

Assuming a 12-ft-wide driveway, a 200-ft run equals 2,400 sq ft. For a 3u0022 gravel depth you need about 22 cubic yards (≈31 tons); at $40 to $80 per ton for material, expect $1,200 to $2,500 for delivered material alone. Add delivery variances, spreading labor or machine rental, and any base preparation and compaction costs — total installed costs commonly range from roughly $1,500 to $4,000 depending on those factors. Request a site-specific quote from Hello Gravel or a local contractor for an accurate estimate.

Two inches is usually thin for a driveway and is best used for decorative pathways or light foot traffic. In La Feria and other West Texas locations we recommend 3 to 4 inches (with a compacted base and proper grading) for a driveway to resist vehicle rutting and handle seasonal runoff. Good base preparation and drainage are as important as depth in this region due to occasional heavy rains and soil movement.

A 20x20 (400 sq ft) area at 2u0022 depth needs about 2.5 cubic yards (≈3.5 tons) and at 3u0022 depth about 3.7 cubic yards (≈5.2 tons); using $40 to $80 per ton, material cost falls roughly between $140 and $420 depending on depth and type. A 10x10 (100 sq ft) area at 2u0022 needs about 0.6 cubic yards (≈0.9 tons) which is below Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum, so pickup or retail bagged options may be cheaper. Spreading or compacting labor will add to both jobs, so factor in a spreading fee or contractor time when budgeting.

One ton of gravel equals roughly 1.4 cubic yards and will cover about 227 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, about 152 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and about 114 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. One cubic yard (≈1.4 tons) covers about 162 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 108 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and 81 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. Use these figures to convert your project area into tons or cubic yards, and remember to add a small extra allowance for compaction and grading.

For La Feria driveways, a layered approach works well: use crusher-run or compactable base stone for the foundation and 3/4u0022 crushed stone or '57' stone as the wearing surface for good drainage and traction. Prices vary by type; common base and crushed stones typically fall in the $40 to $80 per ton delivered range, while decorative or colored gravels can cost more.
