Gravel delivery in Lancaster, TX typically runs $150 flat for loads up to 7 tons, since Lancaster sits well within Kaufman Sand & Gravel's 20-mile flat-rate zone from our Scurry, TX yard. Add in per-ton material costs (which vary by gravel type and grade) and you're usually looking at a total delivered price in the $300–$600 range for a standard driveway job. Larger loads, multiple deliveries, or distances beyond 20 miles change the math — here's exactly how.
Gravel Delivery Lancaster TX: The Short Answer on Pricing
If you're planning a driveway, drainage project, or base layer for a slab in Lancaster, your delivered gravel cost comes down to two numbers: the material price per ton and the delivery fee. Kaufman Sand & Gravel charges a flat $150 delivery rate for loads up to 7 tons within 20 miles of our Scurry, TX (75158) yard — and Lancaster falls inside that zone. Beyond 20 miles, delivery is metered per mile. Multiple loads on the same job qualify for discounted delivery rates, which matters if you're covering a large lot or doing a commercial pad.
Material pricing itself depends on the type of gravel or stone you order. We'll quote exact per-ton pricing when you request a delivery quote, but the delivery side of the equation is straightforward and predictable — no hidden fuel surcharges or surprise fees tacked on after the fact.
What's Included in the $150 Flat Rate
The $150 flat delivery fee covers:
- Loads up to 7 tons
- Delivery within 20 miles of Scurry, TX (75158)
- Scheduled delivery six days a week (Sundays by request)
Lancaster sits comfortably within that 20-mile radius, so most residential driveway and landscaping orders qualify for the flat rate without any mileage adjustment. If your delivery address is farther out — say, a rural property on the edge of our service area — we'll calculate the metered rate when you call.
When You Need More Than 7 Tons
Projects larger than 7 tons (think full driveways, large parking pads, or drainage beds) still get delivered efficiently, but the pricing shifts slightly:
- 8–28 tons: Standard delivery truck, priced per load with multi-load discounts available if you need more than one delivery to complete the job.
- Over 28 tons: Requires dump truck delivery. Call (951) 239-9096 for a custom quote — we'll walk through load size, access, and timing.
Breaking a large order into multiple loads is often more cost-effective than you'd expect, especially with the multi-load discount applied. If you're unsure whether your project needs one load or several, give us a call before you order and we'll help you figure out the right tonnage.
Tonnage-to-Coverage Table for Common Lancaster Driveway Sizes
Gravel coverage depends on depth and the type of material, but here's a general guide for estimating tonnage on typical residential projects. These figures assume a standard 2-inch compacted depth, which is common for driveway base and resurfacing work.
| Project Size | Approx. Square Footage | Estimated Tonnage Needed | Delivery Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small driveway/walkway | 400–600 sq ft | 3–5 tons | Flat rate ($150) |
| Standard single-car driveway | 600–900 sq ft | 5–8 tons | Flat rate or just above |
| Double-car driveway | 900–1,400 sq ft | 8–14 tons | Standard delivery, may need 2 loads |
| Long or wide driveway | 1,400–2,200 sq ft | 14–22 tons | Multi-load, discount applies |
| Large commercial pad or lot | 2,200+ sq ft | 22–28+ tons | Multi-load or dump truck |
These numbers are estimates — actual tonnage depends on the gravel type (pea gravel, crushed limestone, road base, etc.) and how deep you're spreading it. If you give us your project dimensions when you call, we'll help you nail down the right order size so you're not short on material or paying for excess.
Why Location Matters for Delivery Cost
Kaufman Sand & Gravel covers a 60-mile radius around Scurry, TX — this is a geographic circle, not a driving-distance measurement, and it includes most of the DFW metro including Lancaster. Within that broader service area, standard scheduling and delivery apply. For material orders of 14 tons or more that fall outside the 60-mile circle, call (951) 239-9096 directly — we'll discuss whether delivery is feasible and what it involves, but we can't promise scheduling or extended-area pricing without a conversation first.
Since Lancaster is well inside both the 20-mile flat-rate zone and the larger 60-mile service circle, most customers here get straightforward, predictable pricing with no special arrangements needed. You can check your exact coverage on our service area page.
Multi-Load Discounts for Bigger Lancaster Projects
If your project needs more gravel than a single load can carry, ask about multi-load discounts when you call. These discounts are applied per project, not per random stacking of orders, so it's worth telling us upfront that you're planning a larger job. This is common for:
- New construction driveways
- Large drainage or French drain projects
- Commercial lots and parking areas
- Multi-phase landscaping jobs
We'll work out a delivery schedule that fits your timeline — six days a week standard, with Sunday delivery available by request for time-sensitive jobs.
Other Delivered Materials for Lancaster Projects
Gravel is rarely the only material on a job site. If you're also working with sand for bedding or leveling, or topsoil for grading and landscaping, we deliver those under the same flat-rate and mileage structure. Check out our sand delivery and topsoil delivery pages for material-specific details.
And if your project involves clearing out a garage, shed, or yard before the gravel goes down, our garage clean-out service might save you a separate trip to the dump. We drop a trailer for $350 (3-day rental) or offer a $250 live load (up to 45 minutes) where our crew loads it on the spot and hauls it away.
