Gravel in Tioga, TX

Prices vary by gravel type and supplier, but in the Tioga/West Texas area expect common utility gravels to run roughly $30 to $75 per ton delivered. Decorative or specialty gravels can be higher. Final price depends on material, delivery distance, and whether you meet the minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons). Contact our team for a zip-code-specific quote.

River gravel is rounded, mixed-size stones good for dry creek beds and decorative areas; pea gravel is small, pea-sized rounded stones that pack well and are popular for patios and pathways. In Tioga's dry climate, pea gravel works well for walkways and play areas because it drains and stays comfortable underfoot, while river rock adds a more natural look in landscaping beds. Choose based on function: drainage and walking surfaces prefer pea gravel; visual accents can use river rock.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in this region carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel, and cost depends on the price per ton plus hauling. Expect a delivered load cost roughly between $300 and $1,000 depending on material type and distance from the supplier. Hello Gravel will show truck options and per-ton pricing for your zip code so you can compare exact load costs.

It depends on width and depth. For a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway with a 6-inch crushed-stone base (recommended) you need about 22.2 cubic yards, roughly 31 tons; a 4-inch base is about 21 tons. If you only need a 2-inch top layer, that adds about 6 to 8 tons. Use these examples to estimate and contact us for a precise calculation based on your exact width and desired depth.

Buying in bulk by the ton is almost always cheaper than buying bags; Hello Gravel's delivery minimum is 3 tons, which usually gives a much lower per-ton price than bags. Compare delivered per-ton pricing from local suppliers, consider ordering common utility gravel instead of decorative blends, and, when possible, consolidate orders with neighbors to save on hauling fees.

A 50 lb bag of gravel is roughly 0.5 cubic foot. At that volume it covers about 6 sq ft at a 1-inch depth, about 3 sq ft at 2 inches, or about 12 sq ft at a 1/2-inch depth. For most Tioga projects it is more cost-effective to buy by the ton for anything larger than a small accent area.

Yes. For walkways and patios aim for 2 to 3 inches of compacted decorative gravel over a 3 to 4 inch crushed-stone base; for driveways plan on a 4 to 6 inch compacted crushed-stone base with a 1 to 2 inch surface layer. In West Texas you want good base depth for washout resistance and to handle occasional heavy loads, so err toward the deeper side for driveways and access lanes.

Use a well-compacted crushed-stone base, add a small percentage of fines or stone dust in the top layer to lock particles together, and ensure proper slope and drainage away from paved areas. Installing geotextile fabric below the base can reduce mixing with soil, and edging (steel or timber) helps keep gravel in place during rains that can cause washout.
