Gravel in Sterling County, TX

Gravel prices in Texas vary by size and type; typical per-ton retail ranges in the state are about $12 to $40, but in rural Sterling County delivered prices are often higher because of hauling distance and limited local supply. Expect roughly $20 to $60 per ton delivered for common crushed stone or driveway gravel, depending on material, quantity, and exact delivery location. For an accurate price, get a quote through Hello Gravel or call our team at 855-241-8884.

Cost depends on the truck size, the tonnage, and per-ton price. A small 6-8 cubic yard truck typically carries about 8 to 12 tons while a tri-axle can carry about 13 to 21 tons; multiply the tons by the per-ton price and add any local delivery fee to estimate total cost. As a rough example, at $30/ton a tri-axle load of 15 tons would be about $450 before any extra delivery charges; request a tailored quote from Hello Gravel for a firm number.

Truck capacity varies by truck type: a small 6-wheel dump usually holds 6 to 8 cubic yards (roughly 8 to 12 tons of gravel), while a tri-axle commonly used by suppliers holds 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 13 to 21 tons). Actual tonnage depends on the gravel's density (1 cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.3 to 1.7 tons). Confirm the truck size with your Hello Gravel delivery notice if you need an exact figure for your site.

For a 1-car driveway about 10 ft by 25 ft at a 3-inch depth you need roughly 2.5 cubic yards (about 3.5 to 4.5 tons); a 2-car driveway 20 ft by 25 ft at 3 inches needs roughly 5 cubic yards (about 7 to 9 tons). If you want a thicker base or top dressing increase depth to 4-6 inches and round up 10% for compaction and waste.

Because Hello Gravel sources locally, gravel reflects the geology of Sterling County and surrounding regions, so color and texture will vary from photos. Images are representative; you can add color or size preferences in the Order Notes at checkout and ask suppliers for photos when available. If the delivered material looks substantially different, contact customer service promptly and we will work to resolve the issue.

Standard delivery is 2 or more business days from order processing, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Rural locations like Sterling County can have slightly longer lead times depending on supplier availability and distance, so choose your preferred delivery date in checkout and confirm with our team if you have a tight schedule. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request this service at checkout so the driver knows to assess the site on arrival. Spreading is not guaranteed and will only be done if it can be done safely and without damaging the property. For consistent spreading across larger areas, we recommend arranging a local contractor to finish the job.

For base layers and roads in Sterling County's semi-arid conditions, crusher-run or 1.5u0022 minus road base provides a stable, compactable foundation; 3/4u0022 to 1u0022 crushed stone is a common top layer for driveways. Pea gravel is better for decorative areas but not ideal for heavy traffic; consider local drainage and compaction needs when selecting material. Our sales team can recommend the best product for your specific road conditions and traffic levels.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible by phone at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734; changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate modifications, but ability to change or cancel depends on supplier scheduling and whether the load has been dispatched. If you have concerns after delivery, contact customer service and we will work to resolve the issue according to our policies.
