Frequently Asked Questions - Princeton gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Princeton.
Delivery costs vary by distance, truck type, and supplier. Many Hello Gravel orders in our service area include free delivery, but when fees apply you can expect a typical local range of about $15 to $40 per ton or a flat minimum delivery fee in the $75 to $200 range for short hauls; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. For an exact, up-to-date price for your zip code, get a quote through our website or contact our team.
The most common local options are crushed limestone (a regional favorite), pea gravel, and recycled crushed concrete. You may also see river rock, screenings, and specialty decorative gravels; exact mixes and color will reflect local geology, so samples can vary by supplier.
For most Princeton driveways we recommend a layered approach: a well-compacted base of 3/4" crushed stone or recycled crushed concrete, 6 to 8 inches compacted for standard passenger vehicles, and 2 to 3 inches of a finer surface stone (or 3/4" crushed stone) on top. For heavy-vehicle access or frequent truck traffic, build to 8 to 12 inches, add a geotextile fabric, and use larger aggregate for the base to improve drainage and durability.
Weights vary by rock type and moisture, but typical conversions are: crushed limestone about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, pea gravel about 1.4 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard, and crushed concrete about 1.3 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. Use these ranges for estimates and confirm exact weights with your supplier when ordering.
West Texas heat and seasonal heavy rains increase dust, washboarding, and erosion; drought makes fines blow away and create dust, while clay or expansive soils under the gravel can cause settling and rutting. Good drainage, a stable compacted base, edge restraints, and occasional top dressing are key to longer performance in Princeton’s climate.
Labor rates vary by job size and equipment, but expect general contractor fees in the Princeton area to roughly range from $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot for spreading, grading, and compacting a driveway. Smaller or complicated sites, hauling from the street to the site, and equipment rental can raise costs, so get several local quotes for an accurate estimate.
Yes, many suppliers offer bulk discounts or special contractor pricing for larger orders and repeat accounts. Discount thresholds and rates vary by yard and material, so contact Hello Gravel or the local supplier to request a contractor rate or a quote for larger tonnages.
Crushed limestone compacts well, binds with fines, and provides a stable, low-maintenance surface suited to Princeton’s climate. Pea gravel drains well and looks attractive but shifts under heavy loads and needs edging and more frequent regrading. Recycled crushed concrete is often the most economical and compacts reasonably well, but it may contain more fines and can be dustier depending on the source.
Permit and HOA requirements vary: some neighborhoods and the City of Princeton have rules about driveway materials, setbacks, or drainage changes, while HOAs may have design covenants that restrict gravel. Before ordering, check with Princeton city building/engineering departments and your HOA to confirm rules and any permit needs.
With proper construction, a gravel driveway in Princeton typically lasts 5 to 15 years before a major rebuild is needed; regular maintenance extends life. Expect to regrade and fill ruts annually, add 1 to 2 inches of top material every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic, and recompact after major rain or freeze-thaw cycles.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess safety and site access on arrival and decide whether spreading can be done.
Clear the planned drop area of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles and mark the desired delivery spot in Order Notes so the driver knows where to dump. Make sure access roads and driveways can handle a tri-axle dump truck, protect underground utilities, and notify neighbors if street parking or temporary blocking may occur.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
