Gravel in El Paso, TX

Typical delivered truckloads (residential dump truck, ~8-12 cubic yards) in El Paso currently range widely depending on material and supplier - expect roughly $250 to $900 per truckload as a rule of thumb. Lighter, recycled, or base materials sit at the low end; specialty decorative gravels (pea gravel, river rock, colored rock) sit at the high end. These are estimates - get an exact Hello Gravel quote for current local pricing and availability.

Coverage depends on material density and depth. A practical range: - 2" depth: about 90 to 115 sq ft per ton - 3" depth: about 60 to 75 sq ft per ton - 4" depth: about 45 to 60 sq ft per ton Use these as estimates; heavier aggregates (crushed rock) cover less area per ton than lighter materials (pumice, very porous rock). For precise needs, convert area to cubic yards then to tons using the exact material density on your Hello Gravel quote.

A 5-gallon bucket is about 0.67 cubic feet. One ton of typical gravel is roughly 18 cubic feet (this varies with density), so you can expect approximately 25 to 30 five-gallon buckets per ton.

A 50 lb bag contains about 0.45 cubic feet of material (depending on type). At a 2" depth (0.1667 ft) that covers roughly 2.5 to 3 sq ft. If you need to cover larger areas, bulk delivery is almost always more economical than buying many bags.

10x10 is 100 sq ft. Common depths and approximate amounts: - 2" depth: ~0.6 cubic yards (~0.9 - 1.1 tons) - 3" depth: ~0.9 cubic yards (~1.4 - 1.6 tons) - 4" depth: ~1.2 cubic yards (~1.8 - 2.2 tons) Round up for compaction and waste and ask Hello Gravel for an exact estimate using the material density you plan to use.

Recommended depths: - Light-use residential driveway: 4 to 6 inches compacted (with a crushed stone base if traffic is frequent). - Heavy trucks or RVs: 6 to 8 inches compacted. - Walkways and decorative areas: 2 to 3 inches. In El Paso's arid climate, a well-compacted base and proper edge restraints help prevent washout during infrequent heavy rains - consider geotextile fabric under the base to stabilize subgrade.

For driveways in El Paso, common choices: - Crushed limestone or crushed granite (3/4" minus or 1 1/4") - Crusher-run or crushed rock as a base - A 1-2" wearing layer of 3/8" to 3/4" crushed rock or decomposed granite for smoother finish Pea gravel rolls and shifts, so it is not ideal for driveways unless contained with solid edging. Choose materials with angular particles (crushed stone) for better interlock and compaction under desert conditions.

Cheapest options are typically: - Recycled concrete (crushed concrete) - Bank run or pit-run material - Crusher run or coarse base material These are low-cost because they are produced from local, unprocessed or recycled sources. Decorative or washed gravels (pea gravel, river rock, colored stone) cost more.

Yes - many homeowners DIY. Key steps: 1) Calculate quantities. 2) Excavate to grade and remove organic material. 3) Install geotextile fabric if needed. 4) Add and compact a base layer (4-6" of crusher-run). 5) Install edging to contain material. 6) Spread and compact surface layer (1-2"). 7) Compact and water to settle fines if using crusher run. Regular maintenance - raking, filling low spots, and regrading - keeps the driveway functional.

Residential dump trucks used by local suppliers commonly carry: - Small trucks: 6 to 8 cubic yards - Standard residential trucks: 8 to 12 cubic yards - Larger commercial trucks: 12 to 20+ cubic yards When you order on Hello Gravel you will see the truck size options; if access limits truck size, notify the supplier so they can plan appropriately.

Using a standard 10 cubic yard load as an example: - 2" depth: about 1,620 sq ft - 3" depth: about 1,080 sq ft - 4" depth: about 810 sq ft If using a different truck size, scale linearly (e.g., a 5 yd3 truck covers half the area of a 10 yd3 truck at the same depth). Bear in mind tonnage depends on material density, so area-by-ton estimates will vary.

Main factors: - Material type (base rock vs decorative stone) - Quantity ordered (bulk discounts) - Truck size and access difficulty - Delivery distance and local hauling rates - Supplier availability and seasonal demand - Special handling (offloading by hand, placing in tight spots) Ask for a detailed Hello Gravel quote to see itemized pricing for your job.

Often yes, depending on supplier inventory and scheduling. Next-day is commonly available for standard materials; same-day is possible if you order early in the day and a local supplier has stock and a truck available.

Typical patterns: - Minimums: many suppliers prefer a minimum of one truckload (commonly 6-8 yd3) or a minimum order of 1 to 3 cubic yards for small deliveries. - Discounts: per-yard or per-ton pricing often improves for orders above roughly 10 to 20 cubic yards. Exact minimums and discounts vary by supplier and material - get a quote on Hello Gravel to compare local offers.

Yes - before installing: - Check your HOA covenants for permitted surface materials, colors, and edging rules. - Verify local city or county drainage rules - improper grading can cause runoff or violate stormwater regulations. - If you are within a historic or special overlay district, additional rules may apply. Contact the City of El Paso or your HOA for local requirements.

Delivery placement depends on truck type and site access. Most drivers will dump at a curbside or end-of-driveway location that is safe and legal. If you need material placed deeper into the yard, options include: - Smaller dump trucks that can go closer - Additional labor for wheelbarrow placement (usually extra fee) - Scheduling a delivery with a supplier that offers skid-steer or small-loader placement Discuss access and placement needs in your Hello Gravel order notes to get an accurate quote and avoid surprises.

Maintenance tips: - Re-compact after heavy use and after initial settlement. - Rake and fill low spots with fresh material every 1-3 years. - Install edging to contain material and reduce spreading. - Use a weed barrier or weed killer to control vegetation. - Infrequent heavy rains - ensure drainage swales are clear to avoid washouts. Regular light maintenance extends lifespan and reduces long-term costs.
