Gravel in Moore, TX

Gravel prices in Moore, TX commonly range from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on the type (pea gravel and river rock are toward the higher end, crushed limestone and crusher run toward the lower end). Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance; Hello Gravel often offers free delivery in many areas but minimum orders start at 3 tons and exact pricing (including delivery) is shown at checkout for your zip code.

For West Texas driveways we usually recommend an angular, compacting material like crusher run or crushed limestone because they lock together, resist rutting, and control dust better. Pea gravel and river rock look nice but tend to move and float under vehicle traffic; decomposed granite can work for low-traffic decorative areas but may require stabilizers in hot, dry climates.

Use this estimate: 20x20 (400 ft2): 2u0022 = about 3.5 tons, 3u0022 = about 5.2 tons, 4u0022 = about 6.9 tons. 24x24 (576 ft2): 2u0022 = about 5.0 tons, 3u0022 = about 7.5 tons, 4u0022 = about 10.0 tons. These figures use a typical crushed-stone weight (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard); order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading and note Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons.

Hot, dry weather in West Texas increases dust and can cause surface loosening, while heavy rains and storms can wash ruts and move material. To keep gravel stable in Moore, compact the base, maintain good drainage away from the surface, and plan on periodic grading and topping up after major storms.

Geotextile fabric is commonly recommended in Moore, especially where subsoils are clayey or where you have soft, disturbed ground; it helps prevent the gravel from mixing with the soil and improves long-term stability. Local contractors often use fabric for driveways and pads, but a site inspection will confirm if it is needed for your soil and project.

A well-built gravel driveway in Moore can function for many years with regular maintenance; expect to need a partial resurfacing (adding several tons) every 3-7 years depending on traffic and weather. Yearly maintenance such as grading, filling ruts, and topping up small amounts commonly runs from roughly $50 to $300 for a typical residential driveway, while larger repairs or full resurfacing will cost more.

Gravel is the lowest-cost and fastest-to-install option in Moore and is easy to repair, but it needs more ongoing maintenance. Asphalt offers a smoother surface and lower short-term maintenance than gravel but costs more up front and will need resealing and occasional patching. Concrete is the most durable long term but has the highest initial cost and can crack or heave if not properly installed with attention to expansion and drainage in West Texas conditions.

Moore homeowners are typically served by local quarries and landscape suppliers in the broader West Texas region; delivery radiuses vary but many suppliers serve customers within 20-60 miles. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and displays available materials, prices, and the minimum order (our platform minimum is 3 tons) when you enter your zip code at checkout.

Regulations vary: many rural properties in Moore and Moore County allow gravel driveways, but some city ordinances or homeowners associations may have restrictions on surface materials, driveway width, or drainage. Before you install, check with Moore city or county planning and your HOA (if applicable) to confirm permit requirements and material rules.

Crushed limestone (or angular crushed stone) is usually the better choice for rural West Texas driveways when you need both drainage and dust control because it compacts and forms a stable surface that resists dust. River rock drains well but is rounded and tends to shift and not control dust under traffic, so it is better for decorative or drainage-only areas than for a main driving surface.
