Frequently Asked Questions - Van Alstyne gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Van Alstyne.
Delivered price for common gravel in Van Alstyne typically ranges from about $40 to $70 per ton, depending on type, local supplier, and delivery distance. Prices can fluctuate with fuel and seasonal demand, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote for an exact delivered price.
A 20 ft by 100 ft driveway is 2,000 square feet. For a 4-inch compacted layer you will need about 25 cubic yards (roughly 35 tons using 1.4 tons/yd3); for a 3-inch layer you will need about 18.5 cubic yards (about 26 tons). Adjust depth to suit traffic and drainage needs.
Using the 4-inch example (about 35 tons) and a delivered price of $40 to $70 per ton, expect material + delivery to run roughly $1,400 to $2,450. That estimate does not include compaction, labor, grading, or optional spreading, which can add several hundred dollars depending on contractor rates.
Tri-axle dump trucks commonly used for Hello Gravel deliveries typically carry about 10 to 15 cubic yards of gravel. At 4-inch depth that covers roughly 40 to 60 square feet per cubic yard, so one truckload (10-15 yd3) will cover about 400 to 900 square feet depending on truck size and compaction.
Natural round gravel is often slightly cheaper but depends on local supply; crushed stone (angular) can cost a bit more but locks and compacts better for driveways. For driveways in Van Alstyne, crushed stone or a crushed stone top layer is usually recommended because it provides better traction and interlock on North Texas soils.
Texas black gravel usually refers to dark-colored crushed stone or slag used for decorative landscaping. Availability in Van Alstyne depends on regional suppliers; Hello Gravel can check local inventory—add a color preference in Order Notes or request a quote to confirm availability and any price premium.
G1 (also called crusher run or DGA in some regions) contains a mix of stone sizes and fines that lock together, making it an excellent base. 3/4" gravel is a uniform, crushed stone used as a wearing surface; many installers use G1 for the base and 3/4" for the top layer for the best balance of stability and drainage.
Yes, properly sized gravel and crushed stone provide good drainage compared with compacted soils; however, Van Alstyne area soils can include clay layers that shed water. To ensure good drainage, use a free-draining base (larger crushed stone), proper grading, and consider a subbase or drain line in low spots.
No common loose gravel will harden exactly like concrete, but mixes such as crusher run, recycled concrete, or stabilized aggregates (with polymer binders) compact into a firm surface that behaves similarly for driveways. If you need a rigid, roadway-like surface, consider concrete or asphalt; for a firm, low-cost alternative ask suppliers about stabilized or compacted crusher run.
Multiply cubic yards by the material's density in tons per cubic yard. A practical range for gravel is about 1.3 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard; using 1.4 tons/yd3 is a common rule of thumb (for example, 25 yd3 x 1.4 = 35 tons). For an exact conversion, ask Hello Gravel for the specific material density used by your local supplier.
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.
