Gravel in Somerville, TX

Prices vary by material type and local supply, but in West Texas you can generally expect roughly $30 to $80 per cubic yard depending on gravel type and color. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee.

For Somerville driveways, crushed rock or crushed limestone (3/4u0022 minus or 3/4u0022 clean) is usually best because it compacts and locks together for vehicle traffic; pea gravel and river rock look nice but tend to shift under cars. To estimate quantity, a one-car driveway about 12 ft by 50 ft at 3u0022 depth needs roughly 6 cubic yards (about 8.4 tons using a 1.4 tons/yd3 estimate). Use Hello Gravel’s calculator or send your driveway dimensions for a precise delivered quote.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so it covers about 324 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, 162 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, and 108 sq ft at 3u0022 depth. Actual coverage can shift slightly based on stone size and how tightly it is compacted, so round up when ordering for Somerville projects to allow for settling and waste.

A 50 lb bag contains about 0.018 cubic yards and covers roughly 5.8 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, so you need about 55 bags per cubic yard. Bulk delivery (dump truck) is usually far cheaper per cubic yard than bagged product and is better for large jobs; bagged gravel is more expensive per cubic yard but convenient for small, tight-access jobs. Tri-axle dump trucks commonly carry around 10–15 cubic yards, but get a Hello Gravel quote to confirm truck sizes and delivered cost to your Somerville address.

Hello Gravel works with local West Texas suppliers and can match you with nearby sources for Texas black gravel when available; availability depends on local quarry stocks. Most suppliers in our network will deliver to rural Somerville addresses, but extra fees, road restrictions, or minimum distance charges may apply, so check your zip code and mention rural access when requesting a quote.

For large areas, bulk delivery is usually the most cost-effective option because the per-yard price is lower and labor is minimized. Picking up directly from a nearby quarry can be cheaper if you have a heavy-duty truck and trailer and the quarry is close, but hauling costs and your equipment limits matter. Palletized bags are the most expensive per cubic yard and best only for very small projects or locations where trucks cannot dump.

A 50 lb bag covers about 5.8 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, about 2.9 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, and about 1.9 sq ft at 3u0022 depth. Bags can be cost-effective for very small patches or where you need a neat, controlled delivery, but for anything over about one cubic yard (roughly 55 bags) bulk delivery will almost always be cheaper and faster in Somerville.

River rock is larger, rounded, and often used for dry creek beds or decorative borders; it is heavier and stays put but can make walking or driving difficult. Pea gravel is small and rounded, good for patios and drainage areas, comfortable underfoot but it can migrate and is less stable for driveways; crushed rock or limestone is more stable for driveways. Pricing varies by size and color and by local supply in West Texas; decorative stones like Texas black may cost more than common crushed stone.

Example: a 12 ft by 50 ft one-car driveway at 3u0022 depth needs roughly 6 cubic yards, which is about 8.4 tons using a 1.4 tons/yd3 estimate. To get a delivered quote, enter your zip code and driveway dimensions on Hello Gravel or contact our team with delivery address and any access notes; we’ll match you with a local supplier and provide final pricing, delivery windows, and any rural access fees.

Some drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading and drivers will assess safety and access on arrival. For full spreading, grading, or compaction you should hire a local contractor; those services are commonly available but usually billed separately and often vary by job size and site conditions. When checking out, request spreading in Order Notes and ask our team to connect you with local contractors if you want a bundled quote.
