Gravel: Semi-Arid Drainage For Robert Lee • Next-Day Gravel Delivery In Robert Lee
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Robert Lee Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Robert Lee is a small West Texas community with a city population of 1,640 and a metro area population of 1,063. With a steady growth rate of 0.60% annually, local homeowners and small contractors are pursuing measured improvements rather than large-scale redevelopment. The semi-arid setting—about 246 sunny days per year and only 21.45 inches of annual rainfall, in USDA hardiness zone 8a—shapes material choices: low-water landscaping, erosion control, and dependable access roads are common projects. Quality aggregates like gravel matter here because they deliver drainage, reduce dust and rutting in dry conditions, and create stable bases for driveways, patios, and raised planting beds. Choosing the right gradation and local stone helps avoid settling and match the natural look of West Texas yards. In Robert Lee’s sun-dominant, low-precipitation climate, gravel performs especially well: it sheds occasional heavy rain quickly, reduces muddy spots, and resists wind-driven erosion on exposed soil. Locally sourced crushed or washed gravel typically blends with regional soils and tolerates the freeze-thaw and dry cycles common to zone 8a. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers to supply the proper gravel for driveways, drainage swales, and xeric landscaping. Order online, choose a delivery date (standard 2+ business days or next-day if ordered before noon CST), and get transparent pricing and guidance so your project receives the right material on schedule.Popular Projects in Robert Lee This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Robert Lee gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Robert Lee.
Prices vary by material and delivery distance, but typical delivered ranges near Robert Lee are: crushed limestone $25-$50 per ton, crushed granite $35-$60 per ton, and river rock $50-$90 per ton. Local supplier availability, truck access to your property, and small-town delivery distances can push costs toward the higher end. Contact our team for a firm quote for your zip code and site conditions.
For West Texas and clay subgrades, crushed limestone or crushed granite are common choices because they lock together and resist rutting better than loose round rock. Both drain well when installed over a compacted base, and crushed stone with some fine material helps create a stable surface in dry heat. Add a geotextile and proper base preparation to reduce mixing with clay and improve performance.
A 20x24 ft driveway is 480 sq ft. At 3 inches deep you need about 4.44 cubic yards, roughly 6.2 tons; at 4 inches deep you need about 5.93 cubic yards, roughly 8.3 tons (using 1.4 tons per cubic yard as a typical conversion). Always round up and remember our minimum order is 3 tons; order extra for settling and compaction.
Local suppliers in our network can deliver to Robert Lee, and deliveries are typically made by contracted dump truck fleets (often tri-axle). Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed—request it at checkout and confirm with the driver on arrival. Ask about delivery access, additional fees for remote sites, and any special handling requirements.
Gravel handles heat well because it does not soften like asphalt, and it provides good surface drainage when installed with a proper base and slope. However, heavy rains on a saturated clay subgrade can cause rutting and washouts if the base and drainage are inadequate. Prevent problems with proper grading, edge restraints, compacted base, and, when needed, larger stone in drainage swales.
Expect routine upkeep like periodic grading, adding 1 inch or so of new gravel every few years, and repairing low spots after heavy rains. With proper installation and maintenance, a gravel driveway can perform well for 10-20 years, but lifespan depends on traffic, drainage, and how well the base is prepared. Seasonal checks after storms help catch issues early.
Gravel is usually the most affordable installed option: rough ballpark national ranges are gravel $1-$3 per sq ft, asphalt $3-$7 per sq ft, and concrete $5-$12 per sq ft, but local prices vary. Gravel has lower upfront cost but higher regular maintenance, while asphalt and concrete cost more initially but can require less frequent upkeep. Get local quotes to compare true installed costs for your specific site and traffic needs.
Decomposed granite (DG) gives a smooth, natural look and compacts well for low-traffic walking paths and patios, but it can break down under heavy use or during intense rain. Crushed limestone is more durable, drains better, and handles vehicle traffic and heavier foot traffic more reliably. Choose DG for decorative, low-use areas and crushed limestone where durability and drainage matter.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Deliveries to rural Robert Lee are typically made with tri-axle dump trucks that carry around 12-14 tons, though smaller single-axle trucks may be used for tight access. Remote driveways, long drives, or off-road drops can incur extra charges—confirm access, desired drop point, and any gate or road restrictions before ordering.
Rules vary: some HOAs and property covenants may specify acceptable driveway materials and finishes, while city or county codes can also set standards for drainage or curb cuts. Before installing a gravel driveway in Robert Lee, check your HOA documents and contact Robert Lee city offices or Concho County planning for any local requirements. If you need help, our team can point you to local contacts and recommend materials that meet common standards.
Clear a level drop area, remove obstacles, and mark the desired dump location so drivers can see where to unload. Ensure access roads can handle a loaded dump truck, check for low-hanging wires or overhangs, and communicate any gate codes or cattle guards ahead of delivery. Compact a suitable base and consider marking edges or using geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with native soil.
Use the basic formula: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) = cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to convert to tons for crushed stone (adjust if using a different material). You can also use our online material calculator or contact our sales team for help with precise estimates and to account for compaction and waste.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
