#67 Stone Delivery for Kilgore, TX
Before you order, work out how much the job needs. Measure the length and width of the pad, then multiply by the depth you plan to place. That gives you the cubic yards, and that is the number you will use when you order gravel and aggregate delivery in Kilgore, TX. Texas Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and the yard, so you can match the quantity to the project.
For most driveways and pads in the Piney Woods, the base starts with Flex Base. This crushed limestone with fines packs down hard and holds its shape under truck traffic. It is the default material that local contractors ask for by name.
Materials for Kilgore Projects
Raising a low spot or building up a pad for a shop or shed calls for the right fill and sub-base. Caliche fill, sold on the site as Fill Dirt, is a solid choice for building grade in layers. Spread it in lifts, wet it down, and compact each one before adding the next. That locks in the grade and keeps the finished surface from settling into a dip later.
On top of the compacted fill, Flex Base does the real work. It binds into a firm, dust-free surface that handles daily use. For a driveway that needs a little more bite in wet weather, a top layer of 3/4 inch crushed stone or a clean #57 limestone keeps the surface from tracking mud into the road.
For drainage around a foundation or a low spot that holds water, use a washed stone that lets water move through. #57 limestone is the standard size for a French drain. It stays open, so it does not clog the way fines will. Where you need a heavier layer, rip rap holds creek banks and culvert outfalls against scour.
Ground and Conditions in Kilgore
Kilgore sits on expansive clay that shrinks and swells with the season. A base that is too thin will crack and shift as the ground moves under it. That is why depth matters more here than in many other places. A proper base of 6 to 8 inches of compacted Flex Base spreads the load and rides out the clay movement.
Water is the other enemy. Heavy downpours and flash flooding can hit the region, and a saturated base will fail fast. A crowned driveway that sheds water to the sides, plus a drainage layer of #57 limestone where runoff collects, keeps the base dry and stable.
Work runs year round in most of Texas. Wet spells, not cold, are what stop a base job. Frost is minimal across most of the state, so base failures here come from water and clay movement, not frost. Plan your pour around the forecast, compact in lifts, and the surface will hold.

What is the best base under pavers in Kilgore?
For pavers in Kilgore, start with a compacted base of Flex Base at 4 to 6 inches. That gives the pavers a firm, stable sub-base that resists the shifting clay beneath. On top of that, add a 1-inch layer of stone screenings to level and bed the pavers. The screenings lock the pavers in place without leaving gaps for weeds.
