Gravel in Pecos, TX

Delivered gravel prices in Pecos vary by material, distance, and truck access; expect common landscape and driveway gravels to range roughly $30 to $75 per ton. A tri-axle truckload (about 10 to 18 tons depending on material) will often total roughly $300 to $1,200 delivered, and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Final price depends on the gravel type, whether spreading is requested, and local supplier rates, so check your zip code for exact quotes.

For Pecos driveways we generally recommend 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crusher-run (3/4u0022 minus) because it compacts well and sheds water in arid West Texas conditions. These mixes lock together for a stable surface over vehicle traffic and resist rutting better than rounded stones like pea gravel. For steep or sandy subgrades, add a base layer and consider geotextile fabric to prevent washout.

Texas black gravel may be available in parts of West Texas but availability depends on local suppliers and regional sourcing; color and texture can vary by supplier. You can add a color preference in Order Notes at checkout and we will try to match it; deliveries are by local dump truck with standard 2+ business days or next-day service for an extra fee if ordered before noon CST.

Buying bulk by the ton through Hello Gravel is usually the most economical option compared with bagged material, since you avoid bagging costs and multiple trips. Choose standard delivery (2+ business days), confirm easy truck access to avoid extra unload fees, and consolidate your needs into a single order to reduce per-ton delivery charges. Also check for local supplier promotions or contractor rates if you need large volumes.

River gravel is rounded, larger stones with a natural look and good drainage, while pea gravel is small, pea-sized rounded stone (about 1/8u0022 to 3/8u0022) that is soft underfoot. For decorative beds and drainage in Pecos, river gravel is a durable choice; use pea gravel for pathways, play areas, or accents but avoid it for driveways or steep slopes where it can shift and wash.

Use this quick method: multiply area (feet) by depth (inches), divide by 324 to get tons. For example, a 12 ft x 40 ft driveway at 3 inches deep needs about 6.2 tons (480 sq ft x 3 in /324). A tri-axle dump typically holds about 10 to 18 tons depending on material, so many home driveways are less than a full truckload and meet our 3-ton minimum.

Avoid pea gravel for driveways, steep slopes, and high-traffic or vehicle-turn areas in Pecos because it tends to scatter and rut. Alternatives include 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crusher-run for driveways, decomposed granite for stabilized walking surfaces, and angular drainage rock (1/2u0022 to 1u0022) for erosion control. For dusty or loose sandy sites, consider a compactable base and stabilization fabric before top dressing.

Common picks: 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crusher-run for driveways and base layers; 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022 pea or decorative gravel for pathways and accents; 1/2u0022 to 1u0022 angular rock for drainage and erosion control; and decomposed granite for compacted walking surfaces. Choose angular crushed stone where compaction and traction matter, and rounded gravels for decorative beds and water features.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days from order processing; next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are by local dump truck (typically tri-axle), require a clear access route and safe unload area, and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed.

Drivers may be able to provide tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed due to safety, steep driveways, or site constraints. Request spreading in the Order Notes and confirm accessibility before delivery; if spreading is essential, consider hiring a local landscaper or contractor to finish the grade. Hello Gravel will note spreading requests but cannot promise driver-provided spreading.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture can vary from photos, especially in West Texas where local geology differs. If your order doesn't match expectations, contact customer service promptly with photos and order details so we can work to resolve the issue and explain refund or replacement options per our policy. Adding a color preference in Order Notes helps our team try to match your request before dispatch.
