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.

Why Karnes County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Karnes County homeowners are working in a rapidly changing region with a city population of 36,000 and a metro area population of 4.6+ million, growing at 2.10% annually. That steady growth, along with a warm climate—218 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 38.97 inches, and hardiness zone 8a—keeps construction and landscaping activity steady year-round. Gravel is a practical choice for common projects here because it provides reliable drainage, resists surface washout, and stands up to frequent sun exposure. Homeowners choose quality gravel to reduce maintenance on driveways and paths, protect foundations from storm runoff, and create stable bases for additions or landscape features. Because local suppliers source material from nearby quarries, color and texture reflect regional geology, so picking the right size and type matters for performance and appearance.Popular Projects in Karnes County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Karnes County gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Karnes County.
Delivered prices vary with supplier, distance, and material but typical ranges in Karnes County are: crushed limestone about $20 to $40 per ton (roughly $15 to $30 per cubic yard), and decorative river rock about $45 to $90 per ton (roughly $35 to $70 per cubic yard). These are estimates based on regional sourcing; exact pricing appears at checkout after you enter your zip code and supplier availability. Ask Hello Gravel for a local quote to see current rates and any delivery fees.
For Karnes County conditions (hot summers and clay soils), 3/4" crushed limestone or caliche are the most common and reliable choices because they lock together, drain reasonably well, and compact firmly. Crushed concrete can be economical but quality and fines vary, so it is best for budget projects or temporary roads. Avoid loose round pea gravel as a primary surface on high-traffic ranch roads because it shifts and ruts easily.
A 24x40 pad at 4 inches equals about 11.8 cubic yards (24 x 40 x 0.333 ft / 27). Using a common conversion of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, that is roughly 16.5 to 17 tons. We recommend ordering 10-20% extra for compaction and grading, so plan for about 19 to 20 tons and note Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons.
Local suppliers and contracted truckers delivering through Hello Gravel will deliver by dump truck; the company minimum order is 3 tons. Delivery fees in rural areas around Karnes County often range from no fee (for nearby quarries) up to $100 to $150 for longer hauls, but many orders qualify for free delivery depending on route and quantity. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at the driver’s discretion or for an extra fee; request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety and feasibility on arrival.
High summer heat dries and loosens fines, which can make surfaces dusty and shift-prone, while heavy rains can cause washouts, ruts, and potholes—especially where underlying clay holds water. Proper drainage (crowns, ditches, culverts) and occasional regrading, spot-additions of stone, and compaction after wet spells keep a gravel driveway serviceable. Plan for seasonal maintenance and inspect driveways after major storms to repair low spots quickly.
Many rural properties in Karnes County won’t need a permit for a private gravel driveway, but if you connect to or cross a county road you may need a county permit or a culvert installation approved by the county road department. If you live inside a city limit or a homeowners association, local ordinances or HOA rules can restrict surface materials or require specific construction details. Before ordering, check with Karnes County Precinct offices, the local city building department, or your HOA to confirm any rules.
Gravel has the lowest upfront material cost and fastest installation, making it attractive in rural Karnes County, but it requires regular maintenance (periodic regrading, added stone, and occasional compaction). Asphalt and concrete cost more initially but typically last longer and need less frequent routine upkeep; typical installed ranges in the region are roughly $3 to $6 per square foot for asphalt and $4 to $8 per square foot for concrete, though local contractor bids vary. Choose gravel when budget and quick access are priorities, and choose asphalt or concrete when lower long-term maintenance and a smoother surface are important.
Contractors in South Texas typically build a compacted base of 6 to 8 inches for residential driveways and 8 to 12 inches for heavy-use ranch roads, using good-quality crushed stone or caliche in 2- to 3-inch lifts with compaction between lifts. On clay subgrades, installers often use a geotextile fabric or a layer of larger rock to improve stability and reduce washouts. Finish with a 3 to 4 inch surface layer of 3/4" crushed stone and compact well to create an interlocking surface that resists rutting.
Decomposed granite and pea gravel can work for low-traffic pathways, patios, or decorative areas, but they are not ideal for high-traffic driveways or ranch roads in Karnes County because they tend to move, rut, and require frequent replenishing. Crushed stone (3/4" down) or caliche is preferable for surfaces that must support trucks and trailers because it locks together and compacts into a firmer, more durable surface. If you prefer the look of DG or pea gravel, consider using them over a stable crushed-stone base with edging to control spread.
Karnes County is served by regional quarries and aggregate yards that commonly stock Texas-specific materials such as crushed limestone and caliche; many nearby suppliers in surrounding counties deliver here. Hello Gravel will show available local suppliers and the specific products they carry when you enter your zip code, so you can compare materials, prices, and delivery options. If you need caliche or a particular stone type, include that in your order notes so we can match you to suppliers who stock it.
Clear a 10 to 12 foot wide path free of low-hanging wires, vehicles, and obstacles so the dump truck can reach the drop point, and mark the exact spot with flags or cones. Confirm the truck size and delivery window, request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to try it, and factor in extra material (10-20%) for compaction and grading. Contact Hello Gravel customer service with site photos or questions before ordering if you have tight access, steep driveways, or special placement needs.
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.
