Gravel in La Salle, TX

For La Salle's West Texas conditions, crushed limestone or local caliche blends are commonly used because they compact well and resist washout. A 3/4u0022 crushed stone or 3/4u0022 minus base is a typical choice for driveways; add a 1-2u0022 top layer of smaller stone for a finished surface. Regional sourcing means texture and color will vary, so note any color preferences at checkout.

Measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide your desired depth in inches, then use: (area in sq ft) x (depth in ft) / 27 = cubic yards. For a quick estimate, contact our team and we can convert cubic yards to tons for you; remember our minimum order is 3 tons. We recommend a 3-4u0022 finished depth for driveways and 2u0022 for patios or walkways.

Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks, require a minimum order of 3 tons, and standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion.

No; because we source materials regionally, color, texture, and size can vary based on local geology and supplier stock. Photos are representative; if color or appearance is important, add notes to your order and contact our team for guidance. We cannot guarantee an exact visual match.

Most residential driveway deliveries do not require a permit, but rules vary by La Salle County and by municipality, and some road crossings or changes to a right-of-way may need permits. Check with La Salle County and your city offices before ordering if your delivery requires truck access over public roads or curb cuts. If you belong to an HOA, review its rules for surface materials and approvals.

Yes—properly specified gravel can help with drainage and erosion control in West Texas. Use larger drain rock (1-2u0022) or washed stone around French drains and culverts, and larger riprap where concentrated flow occurs; crushed limestone or caliche is better for driveable surfaces but not a substitute for engineered drainage. Always pair gravel with proper grading and subdrains to protect against heavy rain events.

Common sizes you’ll find locally include pea gravel (3/8u0022) for patios and decorative uses, 3/4u0022 crushed stone for driveways and base layers, 1-2u0022 drain rock for French drains and swales, and larger riprap (2u0022+) for erosion control. Local materials may be limestone or caliche-based, so appearance and compaction behavior will vary. Contact us if you need help matching a size to your project.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; modifications are easier before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but changes are not guaranteed once the hauler has been scheduled; call 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 for fastest help.

Clear a safe access route and mark the preferred drop location with flags or cones, and note any low-hanging wires, narrow gates, or soft shoulders that could block a dump truck. Keep vehicles and animals away from the drop zone and understand that drivers will make a best-effort placement but may refuse unsafe maneuvers. If you need spreading assistance, request tailgate spreading at checkout and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely on arrival.
