One cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at 3 inches deep and about 162 square feet at 2 inches deep. For a 200-foot driveway, coverage depends on width: a 10-foot single-lane driveway needs roughly 12.4 cubic yards at 2 inches and about 18.5 cubic yards at 3 inches; a 20-foot driveway doubles those amounts. Always add about 10% for compaction and waste when ordering.

For materials and delivery only, a 10-foot by 200-foot driveway (2–3 inches deep) will usually cost about $400 to $1,500 depending on gravel type and local rates (material estimate based on 12–19 cubic yards and $30–$70 per ton). If you want contractor installation (grading, base prep, compaction), expect additional labor and equipment costs; a full install can range from roughly $1,500 to $5,000 or more depending on site prep and scope.

For most homeowners in Willowbrook, bulk delivery through a local supplier is the most convenient and often the most cost-effective option because it eliminates the need for truck rental and loading. Picking up from a quarry can be cheaper per ton if you have a suitable vehicle and help to load, but it adds time and labor. Contractor-supplied material can be convenient for turnkey jobs but may include markups for handling and scheduling.

A 20x20 patio (400 sq ft) at 2–3 inches depth requires about 2.5–3.7 cubic yards of gravel (roughly 3–5 tons).

This estimate excludes base preparation, edging, compaction, and labor, which will increase total project cost.

Yes, you can order specific gravel types for pickup or delivery in the Willowbrook area; suppliers commonly stock crushed stone, crusher-run, pea gravel, washed stone, and decorative rock. Decorative and screened materials (pea gravel, river rock) usually cost more than unwashed base stone—often $5 to $30+ more per ton depending on type and color. Add any material preferences in your order notes so suppliers can match availability in your region.

Some suppliers and haulers charge extra if the delivery requires short-haul moves (wheelbarrow work), difficult access, backing up a long drive, or tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion. Delivery fees in the Houston area range from free or included for nearby drops to $25–$150 or more for longer hauls or difficult drops; next-day deliveries or special services typically add fees. When you order, note any access issues and request delivery details so charges are clear.

Most private property deliveries do not require a permit, but you should check city, county, and HOA rules before scheduling large drops—especially if the truck will need to block a public street or dump in the public right-of-way. Harris County and local municipalities may have restrictions on truck routes, noise hours, or curbside dumping, and HOAs can have rules about materials and driveway work. If in doubt, contact local authorities or your HOA before delivery to avoid fines or delays.
