Gravel in New Chapel Hill, TX

Typical delivered prices in the New Chapel Hill area for common gravels run about $45 to $70 per ton, depending on material, season, and supplier availability.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows final pricing during checkout.

A tri-axle dump truck commonly used for residential delivery carries roughly 12 to 14 tons of gravel. At $45 to $70 per ton, a typical truckload will cost about $540 to $980 delivered, though exact totals depend on material, local rates, and any delivery fees shown at checkout.

One ton of gravel covers approximately 120 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 80 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and 60 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. So a 12-ton truck would cover about 1,440 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 960 sq ft at 3u0022, or 720 sq ft at 4u0022, before compaction and settling.

Twenty tons covers about 2,400 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 1,600 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and 1,200 sq ft at 4u0022 depth. For most driveways you should plan for compaction and waste by ordering 5% to 10% extra.

Cost depends on driveway width and depth; for example, a 1,000 ft by 10 ft driveway (10,000 sq ft) at 4u0022 depth needs about 167 tons of gravel. At $45 to $70 per ton, material and delivery would typically run about $7,500 to $11,700, with installation, grading, and compaction charged separately by local contractors.

Yes, 3/4u0022 crushed stone is a common and durable surface layer for Texas driveways when used over a compacted base. A typical build is 4 to 6u0022 of compactable base (crusher run) topped with 1 to 2u0022 of 3/4u0022 stone; calculate tons using area and depth and add 5% to 10% for compaction and waste.

Quarry process (crusher run) is often the best value for driveways because the mix of fines and stone compacts tightly and resists movement. Crushed stone is a good wearing surface, while pea gravel usually costs less per ton but performs poorly for driveways unless well-contained and maintained.

Pea gravel tends to migrate, be noisy under traffic, and is harder to shovel or plow, making it a poor choice for high-traffic driveways. It is a good buy for decorative beds, drainage areas, walkways, or playground surfacing where drainage and appearance are priorities rather than vehicle traction.

The cheapest total option is usually locally sourced crusher run or recycled concrete because they are abundant and compact well, reducing labor time. Exact cheapest option depends on local supplier inventory and rates; get a Hello Gravel quote for side-by-side pricing and a local contractor estimate for installation.
