Decorative Stone & Rock in Washington, TX

In Washington, TX, popular options include crushed granite, decomposed granite (DG), pea gravel, and river rock. Crushed granite and DG are common for paths and patios because they compact well and suit the West Texas color palette, while pea gravel and river rock are often used for accents, dry creek beds, and mulched areas. Local suppliers may also carry region-specific stone that reflects West Texas geology, so color and texture can vary.

West Texas is arid with hot summers, high sun exposure, and occasional strong winds, so materials that resist fading and shifting are best. Crushed and decomposed granite compact and stay put better in wind than loose river rock, while larger river rocks handle drainage and erosion around downspouts. Expect dust and occasional washout after heavy storms; selecting the right base and edging helps keep stone in place.

Typical estimates: a 10 ft x 20 ft patio at 2 in depth needs about 1.2 tons; a single-car driveway (12 ft x 40 ft) at 3 in depth needs about 6.7 tons; garden beds covering 100 sq ft at 2 in depth need about 1.4 tons. These are estimates—always use a material calculator or order a little extra (5-10%) to account for compaction and grading.

Hello Gravel generally requires a 3-ton minimum for delivery and uses local dump-truck fleets (usually tri-axle). Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Availability and delivery fees depend on local suppliers in small towns like Washington, so check your zip code during checkout.

Deliveries arrive by dump truck and materials are offloaded to your driveway or approved drop zone; trucks are typically contracted local haulers rather than Hello Gravel-branded vehicles. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout, but there is no guarantee this service will be provided. Be prepared with a clear drop area and consider hiring a landscaper if you need precise spreading.

Per-ton pricing for decorative stone in small West Texas towns often ranges depending on material and supply, commonly from about $50 to $150 per ton for common types like crushed granite, pea gravel, and river rock. Factors that affect price include stone type, color rarity, haul distance, local availability, and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout, but prices can vary by supplier and region.

In arid West Texas, expect to top up loose decorative stone every 2 to 5 years for appearance and to replace material lost to wind, foot traffic, and occasional storm runoff. Compacted materials like decomposed granite or crushed stone that are properly installed with a border and base may need topping far less frequently. Regular maintenance—raking, removing debris, and fixing washouts—extends the time between top-ups.

DIY material-only costs are usually your biggest line item; material plus delivery from Hello Gravel will depend on the tonnage you need. Professional installation for a stone driveway or patio typically adds labor and base prep costs ranging roughly $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft, depending on site access, grading, and edging needs. For accurate local quotes, get estimates from landscapers and factor in delivery, base material, edging, and any compaction equipment rental.

Washington is a small West Texas community, so first check any HOA or historic-district rules before selecting color and material; some areas restrict visible rock types or require specific colors. Local suppliers may have limited inventory, so regional sourcing can influence color and texture; ordering early and noting color preferences in your order notes helps. If supplies are limited locally, Hello Gravel can connect you with nearby suppliers and schedule delivery windows that work for smaller towns.
