Gravel in Marlin, TX

Delivered gravel prices in West Texas, including Marlin, generally range from about $30 to $70 per ton depending on the type (crushed limestone, road base, decorative rock) and availability. Regional sourcing, truck access, and distance from supplier affect price, so your exact rate will show at checkout when you enter your zip code. For the most accurate price, request a quote or use our online calculator.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10 to 15 tons of gravel, so a single load will generally cost 10 to 15 times the per-ton price plus any delivery fee. Many areas have free delivery for orders that meet local thresholds, but in rural Marlin you may see delivery fees from about $50 to $200 depending on distance and road access. Contact us or enter your address at checkout for a firm delivered load price.

Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway in Marlin, especially with occasional heavy trucks or rain-driven washouts; we typically recommend 4 inches for a top gravel layer over a compacted base, and 6 inches or more for heavier use. Adding a compacted base (crushed rock or road base) and geotextile fabric can dramatically improve longevity in West Texas conditions. Proper compaction and drainage are as important as depth to prevent rutting and washouts.

For a common 2-car driveway sized 20 ft by 20 ft (400 sq ft), you need about 5 cubic yards of gravel for a 4-inch layer, which converts to roughly 6.5 to 8 tons depending on material density. For a larger 24 ft by 24 ft driveway or thicker 6-inch base, quantities rise to about 8 to 12 cubic yards (10 to 16 tons). Delivery costs vary by zip code and supplier; many Marlin-area orders qualify for free delivery, but rural deliveries may incur $50 to $200 in fees, so check your exact address in checkout for a precise total.

Deliveries are typically made by contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle trucks that carry about 10 to 15 tons), and tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion if requested at checkout.

For Marlin’s hot, sometimes heavy-rain climate, crushed limestone or crushed rock (road base) are popular for driveways because they compact well and shed water; decomposed granite and pea gravel are common for decorative uses and walkways. Generally, road base and crushed limestone are mid-priced, decorative washed or color-stone is higher-priced per ton, and recycled or washed river rock can vary widely. Choose material based on use (driveway vs. decorative), drainage needs, and desired appearance; we can help match options to your project.

Material plus delivery for a typical gravel driveway in the Marlin area commonly falls between $1.00 and $3.00 per square foot, depending on depth, material type, and delivery distance. For example, a 400 sq ft driveway at 4 inches thick will usually cost in the $400 to $1,200 range for delivered material; installation labor, compaction, and base materials add extra costs. Use our material calculator or request a quote for a tailored estimate.
