Gravel in Minnetex, TX

In Minnetex expect general-purpose gravel to run roughly $30 to $65 per ton depending on type (crushed limestone, #57 stone, river rock) and seasonal demand. Price varies with material grade, color, and availability; specialty decorative gravels are at the higher end. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may include free delivery in many areas or an extra fee for next-day service.

Cost per square foot depends on depth and material but typically ranges from about $0.30 to $1.25 per sq ft. For example, at 2u0022 depth one ton often covers ~100 sq ft, so at $40/ton that is about $0.40 per sq ft; heavier or decorative gravels and greater depths raise the price. Include delivery and any spreading labor when budgeting.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 10–14 cubic yards (roughly 14–20 tons, depending on material). With local prices of $30–$65 per ton, a full truckload material cost will often fall between about $420 and $1,300, plus any delivery or next-day fees and optional spreading charges. Final cost depends on the exact tonnage, gravel type, and your selected delivery window.

Coverage varies by gravel size and how compacted it is, but common approximations are: 1 inch depth covers ~200–250 sq ft, 2 inches covers ~100–125 sq ft, and 3 inches covers ~65–85 sq ft. Use these ranges to estimate for driveways, paths, or resurfacing projects, and allow extra for grading and compaction. If you want a precise figure, use cubic yard calculations or ask our team for a site-based estimate.

It depends on your driveway width and depth. For a 12 ft wide driveway at 2u0022 depth, a typical 10–14 yd3 truck will usually cover roughly 90–200 linear feet (10 yd3 closer to 90–120 ft, 14 yd3 toward the higher end). For a quick estimate, calculate cubic yards needed = (length x width x depth in feet)/27 and compare to the truck's yd3 capacity.

Crushed local limestone or crushed concrete (recycled aggregate) are often the most affordable options in Texas markets like Minnetex. These materials are practical for driveways and base layers and are typically less expensive than decorative river rock or colored gravels. Price and availability depend on local supply, so check Hello Gravel’s listings for the least-cost option near you.

For a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 3u0022 depth you need about 11–12 cubic yards (roughly 15–17 tons). At $30–$65 per ton material cost is about $450–$1,100, with typical total budgets (material + delivery + optional spreading) commonly in the $600–$1,400 range. Exact cost depends on width, depth, gravel type, and whether you choose next-day delivery or tailgate spreading.
