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.

Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Shallowater Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shallowater, with a city population of 6,390, sits in West Texas within a wider metro area of 2.5+ million and is experiencing modest growth at 0.80% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days a year, 34.32 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of intense sun, periodic heavy rains, and generally dry conditions that shape landscaping needs. That combination drives steady demand for quality aggregates: homeowners need gravel that promotes drainage during storms, resists washout on sun-baked soils, and creates low-maintenance driveways, walkways, and beds. With ongoing residential and infrastructure activity in the region, reliable bulk supply and consistent material performance matter for both DIY projects and contractor work.Popular Projects in Shallowater This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shallowater gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shallowater.
Prices vary by material type, supplier, and distance, but expect typical delivered costs in West Texas to range roughly from $30 to $70 per ton for common gravels. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers transparent quotes—use our zip code checkout to get an exact price and see if free delivery applies in your area.
Crushed limestone is a common choice for driveways because it compacts well and resists rutting in dry climates. Pea gravel and decomposed granite work well for patios and decorative areas but may shift more under vehicle traffic; river rock is best for accents and drainage. Consider color, dust, and whether you need stabilization for hot, arid conditions when choosing a material.
For standard residential driveways, plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel over a prepared base. Heavy farm entrances that see large equipment should have 8 to 12 inches of base rock with geotextile fabric and a well-compacted subgrade. Patios and walkways usually need 2 to 4 inches over a compacted aggregate base and an edge restraint to prevent spreading.
Remove topsoil and organic material, grade and compact the subgrade, and install geotextile fabric where needed to separate soil from aggregate. Add and compact a larger base rock first, then spread the finish gravel layer; proper drainage slope and edge restraints help prevent washouts during occasional heavy West Texas rains.
Plan on light maintenance such as regrading and filling ruts once a year, with topping up of the finish layer every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic. Major resurfacing intervals vary but commonly occur every 5 to 10 years; after heavy rains you may need spot repairs. Dust control options like periodic watering, polymer stabilizers, or magnesium chloride can reduce dust in hot, dry months.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. We work with local suppliers and haulers who may offer smaller loads in some areas, but availability varies—check your zip code or contact our team to see local options and delivery fees. Deliveries are typically made by dump trucks (often tri-axle) and tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion if requested at checkout.
Yes, rural deliveries can be affected by county road weight limits, narrow turns, low-hanging lines, and soft or steep driveways. Tri-axle dump trucks need sufficient turning radius, a clear path, and often 12 to 20 feet of width for safe access; provide photos or site notes at checkout so we can confirm accessibility. If roads or bridges have posted weight restrictions, the trucker or local authorities may limit delivery options or require a different route.
Permit and HOA rules vary by property and subdivision—some parts of Lubbock County and local HOAs allow gravel, while others have restrictions on material, color, or drainage. Check with the City of Shallowater, Lubbock County planning office, and your HOA before ordering to confirm local requirements. If you need help, contact our team and we can advise on common local practices but not official permitting decisions.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost but requires more frequent maintenance like grading and topping up, so lifecycle costs depend on traffic and how well you maintain it. Asphalt has a higher initial cost than gravel, needs periodic sealcoating and resurfacing, and performs well for higher-traffic rural driveways. Concrete is usually the most expensive up front but can last decades with relatively low routine maintenance, though it can crack in extreme temperature swings.
A quick rule of thumb: one ton of common gravel covers about 80 to 100 square feet at 2 inches depth, but coverage varies by stone type and compaction. For precise needs, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or give us your area dimensions and desired depth—our team can convert that into tons and help schedule delivery.
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.
