Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Alice, TX

If you are laying a driveway, building a pad, or prepping a base for a patio, gravel and aggregate delivery in Alice, TX starts with the right base material. Texas Rock Supply brings bulk loads straight to your site, and for most jobs here, that means Flex Base.

Flex Base is the default Texas base material. Contractors across Jim Wells County use it to build a stable foundation that holds up under trucks, tractors, and trailers. The local clay soil moves with moisture, so the base you put down has to do the heavy lifting.

Materials for Alice Projects

Base depth is what keeps a driveway from rutting or washing out. Flex Base compacts into a firm, interlocked layer that spreads the weight of a vehicle and keeps the surface from punching through into the clay below. For a new drive or a ranch road, start with a compacted lift of Flex Base before you add a top surface.

• Flex Base for driveways, pads, ranch roads, and laydown yards. It is the workhorse base material for this area.
• Crushed Limestone Base as a solid alternative for base work and drive surfacing where you want a limestone-bound surface.
• Driveway Gravel to top a compacted base and give the drive a clean, finished look that sheds water.
• #57 Limestone for drainage layers, French drains, and as a topping stone that stays put.
• RipRap to armor a creek bank, pond edge, or culvert outfall against fast-moving water.

If you are surfacing an existing drive that already has a solid base, Driveway Gravel gives you a clean top layer without redoing the whole foundation. For a walkway or garden path, Walkway Gravel provides a finer, more stable surface underfoot.

Ground and Conditions in Alice

Alice sits on expansive clay, the same ground that covers much of south Texas. That clay shrinks when it is dry and swells when it gets wet, which is why a driveway or pad built directly on top of it will shift and crack over time. A proper base layer separates your surface from that movement.

Heavy downpours and flash flooding are the real test for any base job here. Tropical rainfall can dump several inches in a short window, and water has to have somewhere to go. That is why drainage stone and a compacted, sloped base matter more than frost depth. Base failures in this part of Texas come from water and clay movement, not freezing.

Work runs year round across most of the state. Wet spells, not cold, are what stop a base job. Plan your pour or compaction around the forecast, and let a fresh base cure before a hard rain hits it.
