Materials Available for Delivery
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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.

Why Lakeside Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lakeside has a city population of 58,330, and the area’s steady 0.70% annual growth points to consistent, ongoing demand for residential and small commercial projects rather than a sudden building boom. Backed by a metro area population of 2.5+ million, local contractors and homeowners can expect steady work for yard remodels, driveway repairs, and outdoor living upgrades. With 228 sunny days per year and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, materials must balance sun exposure and occasional wet periods: think durable surface aggregates that resist fading and breakdown, soils and amendments that retain moisture without compaction, and drainage-friendly blends to manage runoff. These local trends mean homeowners in Lakeside are choosing low-maintenance, well-draining mixes, erosion-control materials, and stable base layers that perform in both bright, dry stretches and moderate rains.Popular Projects in Lakeside This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lakeside Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lakeside.
Homeowners and contractors in Lakeside often choose a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, pathways, patios, and beds. Choice depends on intended use, appearance, drainage needs, and local soil conditions, so consider material toughness for driveways and finer products for planting areas.
Choose materials that tolerate heat and sun exposure and match your soil drainage: harder, angular stone tends to lock and resist movement, while finer materials work better for leveling or top dressing. Expect regional variation in color and texture, and factor in dust, compaction, and how materials will perform in Lakeside's climate.
Common projects include driveways and driveway repairs, walkways and patios, garden beds and raised planters, grading and backfill, erosion control, and lawn/topsoil installation. Both DIY homeowners and contractors order bulk materials for these jobs, selecting products and quantities to match the project scope.
Measure the area in square feet and decide the desired depth in feet, then multiply area by depth and divide by 27 to get cubic yards (area x depth / 27). Convert cubic yards to tons using a material-specific density (or use Hello Gravel's online calculator) and add 5-15% extra for compaction, waste, and grading.
Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Minimum orders usually start at 3 tons, and materials are delivered by contracted dump truck fleets; you pick the preferred delivery date during checkout.
Many suppliers serve rural addresses, but delivery depends on road conditions, gate access, overhead obstructions, and local truck restrictions. Provide clear access notes and photos at checkout so suppliers can confirm feasibility; drivers will assess site access on arrival and may decline unsafe placements.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading or limited placement at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety and equipment. Request spreading in the order notes and consider hiring a local crew or renting small equipment for precise spreading and finish work.
Costs depend on distance from local suppliers, order size, material weight, site access, and delivery speed (standard vs next-day). Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing online and may include free delivery in many areas; check the final cost at checkout for site-specific fees.
Possibly. Local building codes and HOA covenants can restrict driveway widths, surface types, visible colors, and drainage changes, so check with the Lakeside municipality and your HOA before ordering. Permits may be required for structural work or significant grade changes.
Spring and fall are generally the best times for outdoor material deliveries and installations in West Texas because temperatures are moderate and soils are easier to work. Summer heat can make work harder and affect material handling, while wetter months can delay deliveries or compaction work.
Maintenance needs vary: loose surfacing often needs periodic replenishment and regrading, planted beds require top-ups and weed control, and compacted bases may need occasional repair under heavy traffic. Lifespan depends on material choice, installation quality, and usage, so plan routine upkeep to extend performance.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; contact customer service as soon as possible to request changes or raise concerns. Hello Gravel will work to resolve issues and can advise on next steps, but order modifications are easiest before the supplier dispatches the truck.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
