Why DeSoto Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
DeSoto is a West Texas city with a population of 49,802 and a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate combines extended sun with periodic heavy rains—conditions that influence how landscapes and driveways perform over time. That mix creates ongoing demand for durable, well-graded aggregates: homeowners and contractors need materials that provide reliable drainage, resist washout during storms, and hold up to sun-driven surface wear. For many projects—from driveways and pathways to French drains and landscape beds—locally sourced gravel delivers the right balance of stability, permeability, and natural appearance that fits DeSoto’s soils and building patterns.Popular Projects in DeSoto This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - DeSoto gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in DeSoto.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10-18 tons of gravel depending on truck size and material density. In DeSoto, delivered gravel often ranges roughly $25 to $60 per ton depending on type and distance, so a full truckload can run approximately $300 to $1,080. Prices vary by supplier and material, so get a quote through our site for an exact price.
One ton of gravel equals roughly 0.7 cubic yards and covers about 230 sq ft at 1 inch depth. At common depths for projects, expect about 115 sq ft at 2 inches and about 77 sq ft at 3 inches. Use these numbers to estimate needs, and remember to account for compaction and settling in DeSoto's climate.
The most cost-effective option is to buy in bulk directly from local suppliers to avoid multiple delivery fees, and to choose a basic crushed or recycled material rather than decorative stone. Using Hello Gravel connects you with local haulers with transparent pricing and often lower delivery rates. Also consider picking up material yourself if you have a truck and spreader to save on delivery fees.
Crusher-run (also called road base) or recycled concrete are typically the most affordable and practical choices for driveway bases because they compact well and lock together. For a finished surface, 3/4" crushed stone or pea gravel are common, but they may cost more than base materials. In DeSoto, choosing locally sourced road base lowers haul costs and performs well in our seasonal rains.
Costs depend on width and depth; for a single-car 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) at a typical 4" compacted depth you need about 1.8 cubic yards (roughly 2.5 tons) of material. Material-only costs in DeSoto will often fall between $60 and $150 for that amount, but most suppliers require a 3-ton minimum order and you should budget extra for base prep, compaction, and delivery. For an accurate total, request a quote including delivery and site prep.
For a driveway that carries vehicle traffic, 2 inches is generally not sufficient—plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted base to prevent ruts and washouts. A thinner layer may work for a temporary path or decorative area but will require regular maintenance in DeSoto's occasional heavy rains. Proper subgrade preparation and compaction are as important as thickness.
A 7x14 dump trailer with typical side heights can hold about 5 to 7 cubic yards by volume if filled to the top. However, because gravel is heavy, trailer payload limits often mean you can safely haul closer to 3 to 4 tons of gravel, which is roughly 2 to 3 cubic yards of stone. Always check your trailer's payload rating and local road weight limits before loading.
A 10x10 area is 100 sq ft. For a 2-inch depth you would need about 0.9 tons (roughly 0.6 to 0.7 cubic yards); for a 4-inch depth plan on about 1.8 tons (about 1.3 cubic yards). Keep in mind Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum order, so most DeSoto customers order extra for future touch-ups or share material with a neighbor.
A gravel driveway or path can last many years with regular maintenance—typically 5 to 15 years between more significant replenishment—depending on traffic, drainage, and upkeep. In DeSoto, heavy rains can cause washouts and rutting, so periodic grading, adding new stone, and maintaining edges will extend life. Well-prepared subgrade and proper drainage reduce maintenance needs.
Recycled concrete or crusher-run (road base) are common lower-cost alternatives that perform well for driveways and base layers. These materials compact tightly and usually cost less than washed decorative stone or colored gravels. If aesthetics are important but budget is limited, consider using a thin top layer of decorative stone over a cheaper compacted base.
A common and practical choice is 3/4" crushed stone for the finished surface with a compacted crusher-run or 3/4" minus base underneath. The 3/4" size interlocks well and provides good traction while allowing water to drain. Local suppliers in the DeSoto area can recommend mixes based on your soil and expected traffic.
Ten cubic yards is roughly 14 cubic tons (about 14 to 16 tons, depending on material density). At typical delivered rates of $25 to $60 per ton in the area, material-only cost for 10 cubic yards often ranges from about $350 to $960, not including any site prep, compaction, or spreading fees. Request a Hello Gravel quote for an exact delivered price to your zip code.
A tri-axle load of about 12 to 18 tons will cover roughly 1,380 to 2,070 sq ft at 2 inches depth (using 115 sq ft per ton at 2" depth). At 4 inches of compacted depth that same load covers about 690 to 1,035 sq ft. Actual coverage depends on the truck load size, material density, and compaction, so get exact numbers from your supplier before ordering.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft; at a common 4" compacted depth you'll need about 4.9 cubic yards (roughly 6.5 to 7.5 tons). Material-only delivered costs in DeSoto typically range from about $175 to $450 depending on material type and supplier, plus additional costs for grading, base prep, compaction, and any spreading services. For a complete estimate, request a quote that includes delivery and site prep through Hello Gravel.
Standard gravel compacts firmly (crusher-run) but does not harden into concrete on its own. For a concrete-like, firm surface consider resin-bound or polymer-stabilized gravel systems, or opt for a cement-stabilized base installed by a contractor. These options offer a hard, low-dust surface but will cost more than traditional loose gravel.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
