Why Somerset Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Somerset is home to 5,630 people and is growing steadily at a rate of 0.71% annually. With 228 sunny days a year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate blends semi-arid heat with occasional heavy rains. That mix drives strong demand for materials that balance drainage and heat tolerance: homeowners and contractors need durable aggregates for driveways, erosion control, dry-stream features, and water-wise landscaping. Quality gravel is sought after because it improves runoff management, limits maintenance compared with turf, and matches local geology for a natural look that holds up under Somerset’s sun and storms.Popular Projects in Somerset This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Somerset gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Somerset.
In Somerset and the surrounding West Texas area, 1 ton of bulk gravel typically runs around $30 to $60 per ton, depending on the type (pea, crushed, river rock) and delivery distance. Prices vary with material choice, regional availability, and seasonal demand, so request a quote on Hello Gravel to get an exact delivered price for your zip code. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons for delivery.
Buying gravel in bulk by the ton is almost always cheaper than purchasing many small bags. For very small jobs, check local landscape suppliers who allow customer pickup, consider reclaimed materials like crushed concrete, or order the minimum 3 tons through Hello Gravel to avoid high per-bag costs and delivery markups. Always compare pickup vs delivered pricing for your exact location.
River gravel is smooth, rounded stone collected from riverbeds and usually comes in mixed sizes; pea gravel is small, nearly round stones about 1/8" to 3/8" in size. Pea gravel is commonly used for patios and walkways because it compacts into a soft surface, while river rock is decorative and used for berms, dry creek beds, and accent borders. In Somerset, regional color and texture will vary due to local geology.
For driveways in Somerset, a layered system is best: a compacted base of 3/4" crushed stone or road base, topped with 3/4" crushed stone or 3/8" crushed gravel for finish. Pea gravel is not recommended for driveways with regular vehicle traffic because it can shift. Choose crushed stone or road base for stability and local suppliers will recommend the best mix for West Texas soils.
A typical tri-axle dump truck serving Somerset carries roughly 10 to 14 tons of gravel depending on material density. The delivered cost is the per-ton price multiplied by the load size plus any delivery fee; for an accurate number request a Hello Gravel quote since factors like distance, material type, and access affect final price. Keep in mind our delivery minimum is 3 tons and standard delivery timing is 2+ business days.
To estimate, use length x width x depth and convert to cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for gravel. For example a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 3 inches deep: 100 x 12 x 0.25 ft = 300 cu ft = 11.1 cu yd, which is roughly 15 to 16 tons. Adjust for your driveway width and desired depth and order a little extra for compaction and spreading.
Costs depend on width, depth, and material price. As an example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide pad at 3 inches deep needs about 2.5 to 3 tons, which may meet our 3-ton minimum; at $30 to $60 per ton that material cost is about $90 to $180 plus delivery. For an exact delivered price get a quote from Hello Gravel for your Somerset address.
Two inches of gravel is usually too thin for a driveway and will shift and rut under vehicle traffic. We recommend at least 3 inches of compacted finish gravel over a 3 to 6 inch compacted base of crushed stone or road base for residential driveways in Somerset. Thicker sections are better for heavier vehicles or poor subgrade soils.
Recycled crushed concrete and reclaimed asphalt are commonly cheaper alternatives, and they compact well for driveways. Decomposed granite can also be less expensive for paths and patios, but availability and cost vary in West Texas. Always consider local availability and delivery distance when comparing prices in Somerset.
A 50 lb bag of pea gravel is roughly 0.5 cubic foot. That covers about 6 square feet at a 1 inch depth, about 3 square feet at a 2 inch depth, and about 12 square feet at a 1/2 inch depth. For larger jobs in Somerset it is more economical to order by the ton.
There is no universal '3-3-3' rule for gravel, but a common approach is to install a compacted sub-base of 3 to 4 inches of crushed stone and then a 2 to 3 inch layer of finish gravel. The exact thickness depends on use: walkways need less depth than driveways, and Somerset's local soil and drainage conditions can influence how much base you need. Consult Hello Gravel or a local contractor for a recommendation tailored to your site.
Avoid pea gravel where you need a firm, stable surface such as primary driveways, steep slopes, or areas used by wheelchairs and strollers because it shifts and can be uncomfortable to walk on barefoot. It also performs poorly in heavy traffic or where edging is not used to contain it. For durable surfaces in Somerset, choose crushed stone or road base instead.
You can, but it is not ideal—gravel placed directly on dirt will mix with the soil, sink, and wash out over time, especially with Somerset's occasional heavy rains. For best results, remove organic topsoil, install a geotextile fabric to reduce mixing, add and compact a crushed stone base, then add your finish gravel. Proper prep increases longevity and reduces maintenance.
In West Texas markets like Somerset, common lower-cost options are road base, crusher run, and larger-sized crushed limestone or screenings because they are widely produced and used for construction. Decorative river rock and specialty colored gravels tend to cost more. Local suppliers and Hello Gravel can confirm which option will be cheapest for your delivery address.
The best practice is a compacted base of crushed stone or road base (3 to 6 inches) over a well-prepared subgrade, with geotextile fabric between soil and rock where drainage or mixing is a concern. This combination reduces sinking, spreading, and weed intrusion while providing drainage suited to Somerset's soils. Adjust base thickness for vehicle weight and soil conditions and consult a local pro for heavy-use areas.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
