Gravel in St. Ashen, TX

Delivered price per ton in St. Ashen typically varies by material, grade, and distance, and you can expect a general range of about $35 to $70 per ton. Finer decorative or washed stone is toward the higher end, while basic crushed base is toward the lower end. Final price depends on the exact zip code, delivery access, and whether your order meets the minimum quantity.

A standard tri-axle dump truck holds roughly 10 to 12 tons of gravel, so multiply the per-ton price by the truck capacity and add any delivery or unloading fees. For example, at $45/ton a 10-ton load is about $450 plus delivery; difficult access, tight turns, or special unloading requests can add fees. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and will show exact truck and delivery cost for your address during checkout.

A good rule of thumb: one cubic yard covers 324 square feet at a 1-inch depth. Typical gravel weighs about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so one ton is roughly 0.71 cubic yards and will cover about 231 square feet at 1 inch. For common driveway depths: one ton covers roughly 115 sq ft at 2 inches, 77 sq ft at 3 inches, and 58 sq ft at 4 inches (compacted).

Installation costs vary by site prep, soil conditions, and whether excavation or base material is needed; a rough range for a basic two-car gravel driveway is $2 to $5 per square foot installed. For a 400 to 800 sq ft two-car driveway that puts total costs around $800 to $4,000 for material plus another $400 to $2,000 for site prep and compaction depending on scope. Get local contractor quotes and factor in drainage work, permitting, and any grading for a precise price.

Yes, heavy rain, saturated ground, and severe-weather events common to Texas can delay deliveries and make spreading or compaction unsafe, which may push out installation dates. Tornado or storm seasons can also disrupt truck availability and increase lead times. We recommend scheduling deliveries outside forecasted storms and being flexible if muddy conditions prevent safe unloading or spreading.

Many local suppliers offer volume discounts for large or repeat orders, especially when you buy multiple truckloads or palletized materials. Hello Gravel also negotiates local rates with suppliers, so contractors and landscapers often see better per-ton pricing for larger jobs. Contact our sales team or request a contractor quote in checkout to see available bulk pricing for St. Ashen.

Yes — periods of heavy regional construction can tighten supply and push up lead times and prices locally, because materials are sourced regionally and truck fleets get busy. During busy seasons or large development projects, plan ahead and book earlier to lock in a delivery window. Hello Gravel shows current lead times in checkout and can alert you to alternate material options if supply is constrained.

Requirements vary by St. Ashen city ordinances, county rules, and any homeowner association covenants, so you should check with St. Ashen city planning or your HOA before installation. Some areas regulate driveway width, drainage, or curb cuts and may require a permit or stormwater controls. Confirm rules early to avoid rework or fines and include any permit costs in your project budget.

For Texas clay soil we commonly recommend a layered approach: a compacted base of 3/4u0022 minus or crusher run (with fines) for stability, topped with 3/8u0022 to 3/4u0022 clean crushed stone for a wearing surface and better drainage. Angular, crushed stone locks together better on clay than rounded pea gravel. Washed or decorative stones tend to cost 10% to 30% more than basic base mixes, and final price depends on local availability and delivery distance.
