Frequently Asked Questions - Mount Vernon gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mount Vernon.
Prices vary by material and hauling distance, but in the Mount Vernon area expect approximate ranges: crusher run or basic crushed limestone $15-$35 per ton, crushed granite $25-$60 per ton, and river rock $30-$80 per ton. For rough conversion, gravel usually weighs about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so divide per-ton price by 1.4 for a per-yard estimate. These are ballpark figures; request a local quote on Hello Gravel to see exact pricing for your zip code and delivery distance.
For Mount Vernon's hot summers and occasional heavy storms, crushed limestone or crusher run are common recommendations because they compact well and form a stable surface. Crushed granite is attractive and durable but can be more expensive; river rock looks nice but shifts more under vehicle traffic and is less suitable for primary driveway surfaces. Consider crusher run or a limestone base with a decorative topcoat for a balance of stability and appearance.
Hello Gravel partners with local quarries and haulers across North and West Texas and will show you available suppliers after you enter your zip code. Typical delivery radii for quarries serving Mount Vernon are 20-60 miles, but availability depends on stock and haul time. If your site is farther out, shipping fees may increase; we display delivery options and costs during checkout.
Use area and depth to estimate: a standard 2-car driveway (20' x 40') needs about 10-15 cubic yards (roughly 14-21 tons) at 4-6" depth. A 1-car driveway (10' x 20') needs about 2.5-3.7 cubic yards (3.5-5.2 tons). A 10' x 10' patio at 2-3" depth requires about 0.6-0.9 cubic yards (0.9-1.3 tons). A 20' x 30' parking pad at 4-6" needs about 7.4-11.1 cubic yards (10-16 tons). Keep in mind Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons and it is wise to order 5-10% extra for compaction and settling.
High heat in West Texas mainly increases dust and can dry fine particles, while heavy rain events can cause washouts, rutting, and redistribution of material. Proper compaction, a well-built base, good drainage and occasional regrading reduce these issues; using angular, well-graded gravel helps it lock together and resist movement. For driveways, adding a slight crown and installing edge restraints or geotextile fabric improves long-term performance in Mount Vernon conditions.
Full professional installations in rural Texas towns around Mount Vernon commonly range from about $2 to $6 per square foot depending on site prep, base depth, haul distance, and local labor rates. For an 800 sq ft two-car driveway that works out to roughly $1,600 to $4,800, but final prices can be higher if extensive grading, drainage work, or long haul distances are required. Ask contractors for detailed quotes that break out grading, materials, compaction, and hauling so you can compare value.
Gravel can slow surface runoff and reduce soil loss on gentle slopes if it is well compacted and paired with proper drainage, but it is not a standalone solution for steep or highly erodible terrain. Combine gravel with geotextile fabric, terraces or check dams, retaining walls, and vegetation or erosion-control blankets for better results. For channels or steep drainage ways, consider riprap or larger stone specifically designed to handle concentrated flow.
Replenishment frequency depends on traffic and weather; many Mount Vernon driveways need a top-up of 1-2 inches every 2-5 years and heavier replenishment every 5-10 years. Contractors in the region commonly offer maintenance services such as regrading, adding new material, and compaction on request, though services vary by company. Hello Gravel can deliver additional material as needed and you can request spreading notes at checkout, keeping in mind tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion.
Yes. Mount Vernon city ordinances, Franklin County rules, or local HOAs may have specifications for driveway materials, setbacks, culvert and drainage requirements, or curb cuts. Before you start, contact Mount Vernon city hall, Franklin County permitting office, or your HOA to confirm any rules, and document approvals if required. When in doubt, Hello Gravel's team can remind you to check local regulations before ordering.
Gravel has the lowest initial cost and is easiest to repair, usually lasting 5-15 years with maintenance, while asphalt costs more up front but gives a smoother surface and lasts 15-25 years, and concrete is usually the most expensive with the longest lifespan of 25-40 years. Typical installed cost ranges in rural Texas: gravel $0.50-$2 per sq ft for material and basic installation, asphalt $2-$5 per sq ft, and concrete $4-$8 per sq ft, though site prep and hauling can change numbers. Choose based on budget, desired maintenance levels, drainage needs and aesthetic preferences for your Mount Vernon property.
Deliveries are usually made by tri-axle dump trucks and Hello Gravel sets a preferred delivery date during checkout with standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option if ordered before noon CST. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it in order notes but understand it is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. For precise placement or spreading, ask about local contractor options who can follow the delivery for proper grading and compaction.
Measure your area and pick a realistic depth before ordering; use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for help with quantities. Enter your zip code to see local supplier options, note any delivery constraints in Order Notes (gate codes, preferred drop location), and request a delivery date; add color or texture preferences but expect regional variations. If you need spreading or installation, request it at checkout and consider hiring a local contractor for compaction and grading after delivery.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
