Gravel in Rosedale, TX

Prices change with material type, supplier, and delivery distance, so we can’t give a fixed number here. Suppliers in the Rosedale/Austin area commonly price gravel per ton or per cubic yard and include delivery in the quote; use Hello Gravel’s online quote tool or call our team for an up-to-date delivered price to your zip code. Expect price differences by material (crushed limestone, pea gravel, 'dirty 6', etc.) and seasonality may affect availability and cost.

Local suppliers typically offer crushed limestone (3/4u0022 and 1u0022), #57 crushed stone, pea gravel, and 'dirty 6' or 6F base material. Crushed stone is good for driveways and base layers, pea gravel works for patios and drainage, and 'dirty 6' is often used as a compactable base under pavers or driveways. Because we source regionally, exact texture and color will reflect Central Texas geology.

Full truckload pricing varies by truck size, material, and delivery distance, so the best way to get an accurate price is to request a quote for your address. Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 13-18 tons depending on material), and suppliers will quote either per truckload or per ton/cubic yard for a full load. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, and delivery fees or next-day options can affect the final cost.

A typical full-size pickup’s payload is usually in the 1,000–2,000 lb range (about 0.5–1 ton), which equals roughly 0.5–1.5 cubic yards depending on the gravel type. Multiple trips add time, fuel, and wear on your vehicle, and many homeowners find it more cost-effective and convenient to order delivery if you need more than a few wheelbarrow loads. Also check your truck’s payload rating before hauling—overloading is unsafe and illegal.

Many local drivers can perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout but it is not guaranteed and may incur an additional fee depending on the supplier. For full spreading and compacting, independent landscapers or contractors are usually hired—Hello Gravel can help you find local providers. Minimums typically start at 3 tons through Hello Gravel, and spreading or installation fees depend on job complexity and local labor rates.

Yes—driveway work and changes in ground cover can be subject to City of Austin or Travis County rules and any homeowners association (HOA) requirements. Common restrictions include driveway approach permits, limits in city right-of-way, stormwater runoff controls, and HOA guidelines for material appearance. Before ordering large quantities, check with City of Austin permits, Travis County, and your HOA to avoid rework or fines.

Suppliers commonly price gravel per ton and per cubic yard for small to mid-size orders, and sometimes offer a per truckload rate for full loads. For long driveways or large projects a truckload price can be cheaper, while smaller repairs or garden projects are often easiest to price per cubic yard or per ton. Ask suppliers for both options when getting a quote so you can compare total delivered costs to your project size.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days after ordering, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-week delivery is frequently possible depending on supplier schedules and material availability; use our online checkout calendar or call the Hello Gravel team to get an accurate lead time for your address. Plan ahead for larger orders or specialty materials, which may require more lead time.

Some suppliers and local contractors offer spreading and compacting, but driver-provided tailgate spreading is discretionary and not guaranteed. Dedicated installation and compaction are commonly done by landscapers or local contractors; pricing varies by crew size, site conditions, and scope—ask for itemized quotes (labor, equipment, materials). Getting multiple estimates is recommended; if you want a turnkey install, request those services when you get your Hello Gravel quote so we can help coordinate.

Measure the area in square feet and the desired depth in inches, then use this formula: (Area in sq ft x Depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards of material. To convert cubic yards to tons, multiply cubic yards by about 1.3–1.6 (varies by gravel type); round up 5–10% for compaction and waste.
