Gravel in West Meadowbrook, TX

Expect about $25 to $55 per ton for common gravels in the West Meadowbrook area, depending on type (crushed limestone, pea gravel, river rock) and local supply. Decorative or specialty rock is toward the top of the range, and delivery, minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum 3 tons), and seasonal demand can raise the total cost.

A tri-axle dump truck load in our service area usually carries about 10–14 tons; delivered cost for pea gravel in West Meadowbrook commonly runs $300 to $900 per load depending on the material price per ton and delivery fees. Next-day delivery, long haul distances, or special placement requests can add fees, so get a quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price.

Install a quality woven geotextile or landscape fabric over a compacted base to limit mixing with soil and reduce weed growth, and use 2–4 inches of compacted crushed stone beneath the gravel for stability. Add a firm edging (metal, stone, or paver) to keep gravel contained, and note that West Meadowbrook's local clay soils may need extra base and compaction to prevent settling.

Cut a clean edge and remove turf along the transition, install compacted base rock and geotextile fabric, then add and compact the finished gravel while installing a solid edging to separate materials. Work on a dry day for best compaction and pick a gradual slope for drainage away from structures; summer heat and occasional heavy rain in the Texas region can affect installation timing and compaction results.

A typical tri-axle load (about 10–14 tons, roughly 7–10 cubic yards) will cover approximately 1,100–1,600 sq ft at a 2-inch depth, 550–800 sq ft at a 4-inch depth, or 350–500 sq ft at a 6-inch depth. Exact coverage depends on the gravel type and how tightly it is compacted, so use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel with your dimensions for a precise estimate.

Costs vary by width, depth, site prep, and material, but for a 200 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (2,000 sq ft) expect a rough delivered material cost of $600 to $1,500 for typical gravel layers; full project costs including base prep, compaction, edging, and labor can range $800 to $2,500. Deeper base, heavy site prep to correct poor drainage or clay soils, or premium decorative rock will push the price higher; get a local quote through Hello Gravel for a tailored estimate.

For driveways in our Texas region, crushed limestone or crushed stone is commonly recommended for strength and compaction, while pea gravel or river rock is popular for decorative paths and patios. Choose crushed stone where vehicle traffic and drainage matter, and pea or decorative gravel where appearance and comfort underfoot are priorities; consult Hello Gravel to see what local suppliers carry and to match rock to your climate and project.
