For an exact price, request a quote with your zip code and desired material.

Expect roughly $35 to $80 per cubic yard in the Pecan Grove area, with pea gravel usually a little more expensive than standard crushed or recycled gravel. Prices vary with material, regional availability, and delivery distance; conversion note: 1 cubic yard of typical gravel is roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons. Ask for a delivered per-cubic-yard price to include trucking and any small-order fees.

A single tri-axle truck delivery to a Pecan Grove residence commonly costs between $400 and $1,000 depending on truckload size (10-14 cubic yards), material type, and any residential access or drop fees. Smaller loads, difficult access, or requested spreading can increase the price. Get a truckload quote if you need a full delivery so the supplier can factor driveway access and permit needs.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used for residential deliveries holds about 10 to 14 cubic yards of gravel, which is roughly 12 to 16 tons depending on material density. Smaller single-axle trucks generally carry 6 to 10 cubic yards. Always confirm with your supplier because truck sizes and local legal weight limits vary.

Physically, many full-size pickup beds can hold about 1 cubic yard of gravel, but the limiting factor is payload weight: 1 cubic yard of gravel usually weighs about 2,000 to 2,800 pounds depending on type. Typical pickup payloads are roughly 1,500 to 3,000 pounds, so a full cubic yard may overload some trucks. Check your truck's payload rating before loading and consider using a small dump or contracted delivery to avoid damage or safety issues.

Costs depend on width and depth; for example, a single-car 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 4u0022 depth needs about 2.5 cubic yards of gravel. With delivered material costs and basic labor for grading/spreading, expect a rough total of $400 to $1,600. Higher-cost factors include thicker base layers, heavy site prep, edging, or specialty gravel—get a local site quote for an accurate estimate.

Pea gravel looks attractive but shifts and migrates more easily, making it harder to drive on and requiring edging and more frequent top-ups; annual maintenance might mean raking and adding a few inches every 1–3 years. Crushed stone compacts and locks together better, reducing movement and long-term topping needs, though it may cost more up front to install and compact. In Pecan Grove's climate, expect weed pressure and settlement in both materials; plan for occasional topping and edging repairs as part of yearly maintenance.

Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons; many local suppliers follow similar minimums, though smaller curbside drops may be available with surcharges. Standard delivery is often included in the quoted price for typical loads, but small orders, long driveways, tight access, or special drop locations can add delivery fees. Always confirm minimums, delivery windows, and any residential access charges when you request a quote.

Some drivers will offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout, but it is not guaranteed and may be declined for safety or access reasons. If a supplier or driver agrees to spread, there may be an extra fee for labor or time on site, and the amount charged varies by provider. For a guaranteed spread or precise grading, hire a local landscaper or contractor—this will add to the total project cost but gives a more reliable finish.

Standard lead time is generally 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-week delivery is commonly possible in the Pecan Grove area but depends on supplier stock, truck availability, and weather; busy seasons can extend lead times. When you need material quickly, check availability with Hello Gravel and request next-day or expedited delivery options.
