Gravel in Teec Nos Pos, AZ

Material-only prices in rural northeast Arizona usually vary by type and distance to the quarry; expect roughly $15 to $50 per ton for common crushed gravels. Delivered cubic-yard pricing often sits between $20 and $65 per cubic yard depending on haul distance and truck access. If you add grading, compaction, and spreading, total installed costs can rise to roughly $40 to $100+ per ton-equivalent depending on site prep and access.

Angular crushed stone (3/4u0022 to 1u0022) and #57 crushed rock are top choices because they compact and lock together, resisting rutting and wind displacement. Decomposed granite is a good option for walkways and stabilized surfaces when mixed with a binder, but loose pea gravel and rounded river rock tend to move under traffic and create dust in windy, arid areas. Choose locally sourced material when possible so it matches regional weathering and color preferences.

For 100 sq ft: 2u0022 = 0.62 cubic yards (about 0.9 tons), 3u0022 = 0.93 cubic yards (about 1.3 tons), and 4u0022 = 1.24 cubic yards (about 1.7 tons). These calculations use 27 cu ft per cubic yard and a typical crushed-stone density of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard; denser materials may weigh more. Always round up and add 5-10% extra for compaction and waste.

Teec Nos Pos is remote, so the nearest bulk suppliers and quarries are commonly located in regional hubs such as Window Rock, Kayenta, Tuba City, or Holbrook, with some haulers sourcing from farther on the Navajo Nation or northeast Arizona quarries. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Teec Nos Pos; typical minimum order with many suppliers is 3 tons, but some haulers may require higher minimums for long hauls. We recommend checking availability for your ZIP code and requesting quotes to compare delivery fees.

For slopes and RV parking, use a combination of heavy-duty geotextile fabric, cellular confinement grids (gravel grids), and proper edge restraints to reduce migration and rutting. Resin or polymer binders can lock surface fines to cut dust and washout, but they add cost and can be vulnerable to extreme UV without the right product. Proper grading to shed water and mechanical compaction are essential in arid areas where sudden storms can cause erosion.

In arid Arizona, low-traffic residential driveways typically need a light topping every 2 to 5 years and a more substantial replenishment every 3 to 7 years, while high-traffic or exposed sites may need topping annually. Major factors are vehicle traffic, wind-driven dust, local storms that wash material away, and how well the base and drainage are prepared. Good compaction, edge restraints, and stabilization measures will extend the interval between replenishments.

Basic installed compacted gravel driveways in our region commonly run about $2 to $6 per square foot for straightforward sites with minimal grading. Sites that need excavation, significant drainage work, or heavy machinery access can cost $6 to $12 or more per square foot. For material-only DIY projects, expect to pay less — often $0.50 to $2 per square foot depending on depth and material chosen.

Gravel has the lowest initial cost and is easy to install and repair, making it a good fit for rural Teec Nos Pos properties and low-traffic driveways. Asphalt and concrete are more expensive up front but can provide smoother, longer-lasting surfaces for higher traffic; however, asphalt binder can be affected by high UV and heat, and concrete requires good subgrade and joint care. Consider gravel if you want permeability, lower cost, and easier winter or seasonal repairs; choose asphalt or concrete if you need a durable, paved surface for heavy use.

Minimum order is usually 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks, so check access and exact drop location when you order. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion. For best results, add delivery notes about drive access, gate codes, and where to place material, and call our team if you need help calculating quantities or comparing material types.
