Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Mico, TX

Planning a patio job in Mico, TX and need gravel and aggregate delivery in Mico, TX? Texas Rock Supply brings the materials you need to the site. For a solid paver base, start with Flex Base, the local standard for a compacted layer that holds flatwork in place.

On Medina County clay, the bedding layer under those pavers does the real work. Get the base right, and the surface stays true for years.

Materials for Mico Projects

Your patio starts with a stable base. Flex Base, known locally as TxDOT Item 247 flex base, compacts into a firm layer that resists shifting. Spread it at a minimum depth of 4 inches, wet it, and run a compactor over it. That forms the foundation your pavers rely on.

On top of the base, stone screenings create a smooth bedding layer. Screened to a consistent size, they let you set each paver level without high spots. Rake them to a uniform 1 inch before laying the pavers.

For the joints between pavers, use a washed stone that locks tight. #89 crushed stone or mason sand both work well for sweeping into the gaps. If your patio edges need a drain line, drain rock moves water away from the base and keeps the clay underneath from swelling.

Ground and Conditions in Mico

Expansive clay across the Blackland Prairie and much of north and central Texas shrinks and swells with the season, which is why base depth and drainage carry the job. When that clay gets wet, it moves. A thin base lets that movement push up through your patio and crack the surface.

The fix is simple: build your base deep enough and give water a way out. Heavy downpours and flash flooding on the Gulf Coast can saturate the ground in hours. A proper drain rock layer along the patio edge keeps that water from pooling under the pavers.

Work runs year round in most of Texas; wet spells, not cold, are what stop a base job. Frost depth is minimal in most of the state, so you do not dig for frost lines here. You dig for clay movement and drainage instead. Compact the base well before the rainy season hits.

Delivery to Mico and the Surrounding Area

Ordering bulk material for a Mico project starts with figuring out how much you need. Material is sold by the ton or by the yard, and the right measure depends on your project. For a base layer, calculate the square footage times the depth, then convert that to tons based on the material weight.

Texas Rock Supply delivers across Medina County, including Castroville and Hondo nearby. When the truck arrives, make sure the driver has clear access to the drop point. You can order online and the material comes sized to your project, so you order what you need without guesswork.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Mico?

For a driveway in Mico, Flex Base is the standard choice. It compacts into a hard, stable surface that holds up under vehicle weight. Lay it at least 4 inches deep and compact it well. For a top layer that sheds water, #57 limestone or 3/4 inch crushed stone gives a clean finish that stays put.

How much material will my project need?

Measure the length and width of your project area, then multiply by the depth you plan to use. For a patio base at 4 inches deep, that works out to about 1.3 tons of Flex Base per 100 square feet. Bedding screenings at 1 inch deep run roughly 0.4 tons per 100 square feet. If you are unsure, call or check the calculator on the product page to confirm the quantity before ordering.
