Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Oak Ridge Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Oak Ridge's city population: 1.0+ million sits in West Texas, part of a growing metro area (metro area population: 2.5+ million) expanding at a growth rate: 0.70% annually. The region's semi-arid geography and climate (hardiness zone: 8b) bring long, sunny seasons—228 sunny days annually—and moderate precipitation (annual rainfall: 34.25 inches). That combination drives specific homeowner needs: durable, low-maintenance surfaces that handle intense sun and occasional heavy rains, reliable drainage for sloped lots, and erosion control for new construction or landscaping. As Oak Ridge expands, driveways, patios, walkways, and drainage upgrades are common, and homeowners increasingly choose quality aggregates to avoid dust, rutting, and washouts. Gravel is a practical choice because it balances affordability, permeability, and longevity for the local conditions, helping projects look finished while reducing ongoing upkeep. Gravel performs especially well in Oak Ridge because it promotes infiltration during storms (annual rainfall: 34.25 inches) and resists UV and heat exposure across 228 sunny days annually. Angular crushed gravel provides locked-in stability for driveways and paths, while rounded decorative gravel works for patios and planting beds; both help prevent erosion in semi-arid soils. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to local suppliers whose materials reflect regional geology, provides clear pricing and scheduling, and manages delivery with professional dump truck fleets (minimum order: 3 tons). Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.Popular Projects in Oak Ridge This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Oak Ridge gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Oak Ridge.
Costs vary by material, distance, and supplier, but expect material plus delivery in Oak Ridge to commonly fall in the range of $20 to $60 per ton. Hello Gravel often shows transparent pricing for local suppliers and sometimes offers free delivery in nearby areas; use your zip code to get an exact quote. Larger orders and regional materials can lower the per-ton price, while specialty decorative gravels cost more.
For hot, dry West Texas conditions with heavy truck traffic, use a compactable base like crusher-run or dense grade aggregate and top with angular crushed stone or 3/4" crushed limestone for traction. The base packs tightly and resists rutting, while an angular top layer sheds water and locks together under traffic. Regional suppliers in West Texas may offer locally sourced limestone or caliche that perform well, but availability varies by supplier.
A 12x40 foot driveway is 480 square feet. For a typical 4" top layer you would need about 8 tons, and for a sturdier 6" compacted build (recommended for heavy vehicles) plan on roughly 12 to 13 tons. Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons, so order size and depth will affect your total.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers serving Oak Ridge and the wider West Texas region; enter your zip code on our site to see available materials and live pricing. Prices change with material type, distance, and seasonal demand, so the online quote is the fastest way to get accurate local costs. If you prefer, contact our team at 855-241-8884 for assistance and supplier recommendations.
Use crusher-run (a mix of stone and fines) as a compactable base to create a firm foundation, and finish with crushed limestone or 3/4" crushed stone as the wearing surface for better traction and drainage. Crusher-run locks together under compaction, while crushed limestone gives a stable, attractive top layer. For heavy trucks, a thicker crusher-run base with a durable crushed stone surface is a common approach.
Delivery costs depend on distance and supplier; Hello Gravel lists delivery options with many areas offering no additional delivery fee, while next-day delivery may carry an extra charge. Mechanical spreading or hiring a contractor to grade and compact typically adds a labor or equipment fee, often ranging from $100 to several hundred dollars depending on driveway size and complexity. Tailgate spreading by the driver is possible at their discretion, but professional spreading and compaction by a contractor provide the most consistent results.
In West Texas' hot, dry climate a well-built gravel driveway can last many years if the base is correct and drainage is managed; heavy-traffic sections may need surface refreshes more often. Expect to top up the surface every 1 to 3 years and plan for more substantial refresh or re-grading every 5 to 10 years depending on traffic, maintenance, and soil conditions. Regular grading, adding material where ruts form, and keeping drainage clear will extend service life.
Geotextile fabric is recommended if you have soft or clay soils, poor drainage, or want to reduce mixing of subgrade with gravel—this helps the gravel base stay stable longer. Edging (timber, concrete, or metal) is helpful to keep material contained and reduce spreading, which is especially useful for driveways with heavy truck traffic. Both add initial cost but can reduce long-term maintenance in West Texas conditions.
Gravel is generally a lower upfront cost option than asphalt and works well for rural roads and driveways in Oak Ridge where traffic is moderate and budgets are limited. Gravel requires more frequent maintenance and periodic top-ups, while asphalt has higher initial cost and lower routine upkeep; typical cost ranges are roughly $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot for gravel versus $3.00 to $7.00 per square foot for asphalt, depending on depth and local pricing. Consider traffic levels, desired appearance, and maintenance willingness when choosing between the two.
For high-traffic driveways in hot West Texas summers, build a firm base of 6 to 8 inches of crusher-run or dense grade aggregate, compacted in lifts, and add a 2 to 3 inch wearing course of 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone. Proper compaction, drainage, and edge restraint are critical to prevent rutting and loss of material under heavy loads. Ask for regional material recommendations from suppliers in Oak Ridge since local stone types and grading practices can affect performance.
