Gravel: Built For West Texas Drainage • Next-Day Gravel Delivery For Dripping Springs
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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
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!

Why Dripping Springs Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dripping Springs, West Texas, Texas has a city population of 24,920 and sits within a rapidly growing metro area with a population of 2.3+ million. With a growth rate of 16.90% annually, demand for new driveways, yards, and small-scale construction is rising across the community. The local semi-arid conditions—232 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.30 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—mean homeowners need materials that handle both intense sun and seasonal downpours. Gravel is a practical, cost-effective choice for many projects: it improves drainage, reduces erosion on slopes, minimizes mud after storms, and provides a durable, low-maintenance surface for driveways, walkways, patios, and dry creek beds. Homeowners often seek consistent gradation, good compaction, and a regional color that blends with native stone so finished projects endure the area's climate and ongoing construction activity.Popular Projects in Dripping Springs This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dripping Springs gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dripping Springs.
Delivery costs vary with supplier distance, truck size, and order size. In West Texas, some orders qualify for free delivery while others may incur a local delivery fee; typical short-haul delivery fees are often in the low hundreds, and per-ton haul charges can vary depending on distance and supplier. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST. For an accurate estimate, request a quote for your zip code and project size.
Common choices around Dripping Springs include crushed limestone, crushed granite, decomposed granite (DG), pea gravel, and river rock. Crushed limestone and crushed granite are popular for driveways because they compact well and provide a stable surface, while DG and pea gravel are often used for pathways and decorative areas. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary, so request photos or notes at checkout if color matters.
Crushed limestone performs well in hot, dry Texas climates because it compacts readily and provides a firm surface. On steep slopes around Dripping Springs, however, limestone can migrate downhill if not installed with proper base, edging, and drainage. For hilly sites, add a well-graded base, use edge restraints, and design drainage to limit washouts.
Quantities depend on driveway size and whether you are adding a topcoat or building a full base. For a typical single-car area (about 12' x 20'), a 3-4 inch topcoat requires roughly 3–4 cubic yards (approximately 4–6 tons), while a full build with a 6–8 inch base plus a topcoat needs about 6–8 cubic yards (about 8–12 tons). A standard two-car driveway (about 20' x 20') typically needs 6–8 cubic yards (8–11 tons) for a topcoat only, or 12–18 cubic yards (16–25 tons) for a full base and topcoat.
Costs vary by material, local supplier rates, and whether installation includes base work and compaction. As a general guide, material-only costs often fall in a broad range and installed driveway costs commonly range from about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot depending on prep and materials. Per-ton material prices depend on type and region; ask for an itemized quote so you can compare material, delivery, and installation costs for Dripping Springs.
You should check with the City of Dripping Springs planning or building department and review any applicable Hays County rules before installing a driveway. Many HOAs have rules about surface types, color, and visibility from the street, and some neighborhoods require approval for front-yard materials. Contact your HOA and city planning office early to confirm any setback, drainage, or material requirements.
Start with a well-graded crushed stone base (angular material) and compact each 3–4 inch lift with a plate compactor or roller. Use geotextile fabric on weak or clayey soils to reduce rutting and consider edge restraints to keep material in place on slopes. Design the driveway crown and add swales or culverts as needed so water is directed away from the surface to minimize washouts on hilly Dripping Springs sites.
Gravel is typically the most affordable upfront option, simple to install, and good for rural or hilly properties, but it requires ongoing maintenance. Crushed concrete offers similar performance to gravel and can be cheaper when recycled material is available. Asphalt and pavers provide a longer-lasting, low-maintenance surface but are higher cost and may require more site prep; choose based on budget, desired look, and maintenance willingness for Dripping Springs' climate and terrain.
Yes, suppliers and landscape yards serving Dripping Springs commonly operate out of the greater Austin/West Texas region, with regional sourcing that affects color and texture. Many suppliers have minimum orders (Hello Gravel's minimum is 3 tons) and typical delivery radii range from 20 to 50 miles, but exact availability and minimums vary by supplier. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a local quote to see nearby suppliers and delivery options.
Plan on annual grading to smooth ruts and redirected water, with topcoat additions every 2–5 years depending on traffic and weather. Keep edges defined and address weeds with periodic weed control or fabric underlay. For many homeowners in the area, adding a few tons of topcoat every couple of years keeps driveways functioning and looking good; larger repairs after heavy rain or washouts may require more material.
