Gravel in New Boston, TX

Expect a delivered gravel price range in New Boston of roughly $30 to $65 per ton depending on gravel type (pea, #57, crushed limestone), haul distance, and supplier. Minimum orders often apply (Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum) and delivery fees or credits vary by ZIP code—request an exact quote through our site for the most accurate price.

For New Boston driveways and walkways, crushed limestone or #57 crushed stone are popular because they compact well and shed water; pea gravel is attractive for walkways but shifts more on driveways. Regional sourcing means material texture and color vary; tell us your preferred look in Order Notes and our team can advise the best local option.

Use this quick guide: single-car driveway (12'x50') needs about 10 to 16 tons depending on 4u0022 vs 6u0022 depth, two-car driveway (20'x50') needs about 17 to 26 tons, and a 12'x20' parking pad needs roughly 4 to 6 tons at 4u0022 to 6u0022 depth. These estimates assume about 1.4 tons per cubic yard; always order a small overage (5-10%) to account for compaction and grading.

Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and easiest to repair, making it a common choice for rural New Boston properties, while asphalt and concrete cost more initially but offer smoother, lower-maintenance surfaces. Gravel performs well on rural properties for drainage and flexibility, but it needs regular maintenance (grading and top-ups), whereas asphalt/concrete require less frequent upkeep but higher installation cost.

Gravel can work on clay soils found in Bowie County, but preparation is key: remove soft topsoil, grade to shed water, install a compacted subbase of crushed stone (4u0022 to 6u0022) and consider geotextile fabric to stabilize the subgrade. Proper compaction and good drainage keep gravel from sinking and rutting on clay, so prepare the base before placing surface stone.

For a durable driveway in New Boston, install a compacted base of 4u0022 to 6u0022 of crusher-run or #57 stone, compacted in lifts, then add a 1u0022 to 2u0022 wearing layer if desired. Compact each layer with a plate compactor or roller, and ensure slopes and drainage are handled before finishing—poor drainage is the main cause of early failure.

With regular maintenance, gravel driveways in the hot, variable West Texas climate can last many years; expect to regrade and fill ruts annually and add a top-up of gravel every 3 to 5 years. Heavy rains can wash material into ditches, so inspect after storms, relevel, and address drainage issues promptly to extend life.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets serving Bowie County and New Boston; standard delivery is by tri-axle dump truck with a 2+ business day window and a 3-ton minimum. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout but note there are no spreading guarantees.

Permit and HOA rules vary: some properties in New Boston or Bowie County may require permits for driveway changes, curb cuts, or work in the public right-of-way, and HOAs may have surface or appearance rules. Check with City of New Boston planning or your HOA before ordering, and confirm any setback or drainage requirements to avoid rework.

Installed gravel driveways in the New Boston area commonly range from about $1.50 to $4.50 per square foot when you include material, delivery, basic spreading, and grading—so a typical single-car driveway (600 sq ft) could run roughly $900 to $2,700. Prices depend on stone type, required depth, site access, and whether a contractor is hired for grading and compaction; request a local quote for an exact figure.

Order at least the Hello Gravel minimum of 3 tons, confirm delivery access and truck turning/maneuvering space, and add a 5-10% overage for compaction and waste. Because materials are regionally sourced, expect color and texture variation and include any color preference in Order Notes; contact our team if you need help calculating quantities or scheduling delivery.
