Gravel in St. Johns, TX

In the St. Johns area of Texas, expect most common gravels to range about $20 to $60 per ton depending on type (crushed limestone and caliche tend to be on the lower end; decorative pea gravel and river rock are pricier). Final price depends on stone type, local supplier, and delivery distance; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may include delivery in the quoted price. For an exact number, check your zip code on our site or contact our team for a local quote.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards (about 10 to 18 tons, depending on material). That amount will cover about 900 to 1,300 sq ft at a 2-inch depth or about 400 to 650 sq ft at a 3-inch depth, though actual coverage varies by stone size and compaction. Ask us for a site-specific estimate and tell us desired depth so we can match load size to your project.

Cost depends on driveway width and depth; for a common 10-foot-wide driveway at a 3-inch finished depth, a 200-foot length is roughly 2,000 sq ft and needs about 18 to 25 tons of gravel. At $20 to $60 per ton that material cost is generally $360 to $1,500, plus delivery and any spreading or site prep costs. Prices vary with stone type (base rock vs decorative finish) and local availability, so get a quote on Hello Gravel for a precise cost.

A 20x20 area is 400 sq ft; at a 3-inch depth you need about 3.5 to 5 tons of gravel. With typical local pricing that usually translates to roughly $100 to $300 for material, plus delivery and any optional spreading charges. If you want a thicker base or decorative stone, budget toward the higher end and request a quote through Hello Gravel.

For a small garden bed or walkway, a useful rule is 1 ton covers about 80 to 100 sq ft at a 1-inch depth. For example, a 100 sq ft bed at 2 inches needs roughly 1.5 to 2 tons, which in St. Johns commonly costs $40 to $120 for material depending on stone type. Ordering at least our 3-ton minimum may still be economical because delivery is often included in the quote—check our calculator to see exact amounts.

Buying in bulk is almost always cheaper than buying bags; choose locally common materials like crushed limestone or caliche since they are sourced nearby and cost less to haul. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier prices, schedule delivery to avoid rush fees, and order the minimum that matches your project (note: our minimum order is 3 tons). If you need only a small amount, consider a nearby landscape yard for bags, but expect a higher per-ton cost.

Pea gravel is typically more expensive than base rock; in the St. Johns area expect pea gravel to run roughly $30 to $70 per ton. A single dump truck load (about 10 to 18 tons) therefore commonly ranges from about $300 to $1,300 for material, plus delivery and any spreading fees. Get an exact local price through Hello Gravel since availability and load size vary by supplier.

Measure the length and width of the area and decide on the finished depth in inches. Convert area to cubic yards by multiplying length x width x depth (in feet), then dividing by 27 (for cubic yards), and multiply by approximately 1.2 to 1.5 to convert cubic yards to tons depending on stone density. Or use Hello Gravel’s online material calculator and enter your dimensions; we tailor the estimate to local materials and delivery options.
