A rule of thumb is to calculate cubic yards then convert to tons using about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed stone. For example: a 12' x 100' driveway at 4u0022 depth needs about 15 cubic yards (~21 tons); a 10' x 10' patio at 2u0022 needs ~0.6 cubic yards (~0.9 tons); a 20' x 20' parking pad at 4u0022 needs about 5 cubic yards (~7 tons). Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for precise estimates using your dimensions.

Hot, dry summers and occasional heavy rains in West Texas can cause settling, dust, and washouts if gravel is not properly graded and drained. Clay soils common in the region can hold water and cause rutting, so good base prep, compaction, and slope for drainage are important to maintain longevity.

For dust control, use crushed limestone or crusher run with fines, which lock together and reduce loose dust; applying a dust suppressant (e.g., calcium chloride) is an option after installation. For erosion control on slopes or drainage channels, use larger stone like 1-2u0022 crushed rock or riprap with geotextile underlayment to slow runoff and protect soil.

Permit requirements vary by location and project scope; Sullivan City or Hidalgo County may have rules for driveway connections, curb cuts, or drainage changes. Check with the City of Sullivan City public works or building department before starting and consult local code or your HOA if applicable.

A professional install in West Texas including grading, base, and compaction commonly ranges from about $2 to $6 per square foot depending on prep needs and material choice. A DIY approach lowers labor costs but still requires material (3+ tons minimum for Hello Gravel), heavy equipment rental for grading and compaction, and time; calculate materials plus rental to compare accurately.

Prepare a stable base by removing organic soil, installing geotextile fabric if needed, laying 4u0022 to 6u0022 of compacted road base or crusher run, and finishing with a top layer of chosen gravel. Grade the surface with a crown (about 1/4u0022 per foot) and provide positive drainage to avoid standing water that leads to rutting in the region's clay soils.
