Gravel in Woodlawn Hills, TX

Retail prices in the Woodlawn Hills/San Antonio region vary by type and supplier, but expect a typical range of about $25 to $60 per ton for common gravels (crushed limestone and base rock on the low end, decorative pea gravel on the high end). Final price depends on stone type, color, local availability, and delivery distance. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact, up-to-date quotes.

Most Hello Gravel orders include delivery pricing in the quote, and many local deliveries are free or low-cost depending on supplier agreements. If a delivery fee applies, residential drop fees in the area typically range from about $50 to $200 depending on distance, driveway access, and truck size. A standard tri-axle dump truck often carries about 10 to 14 tons, so material cost plus any delivery fee gives the total delivered price.

Using a typical crushed stone density (roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard), you will need about 0.43 ton for 100 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, about 0.86 ton at 2u0022, and about 1.30 tons at 3u0022. Densities vary by material (pea gravel, crushed stone, decomposed granite), so use these as a guideline and run your exact numbers in Hello Gravel's material calculator. Always round up slightly to allow for compaction and grading.

One ton of gravel is roughly 0.7 cubic yards, which will physically fit in many full-size pickup beds, but the truck’s payload rating may not safely handle 2,000 lb. Check your vehicle’s payload capacity before loading; if your truck can’t carry the weight, consider multiple smaller loads or a delivered dump. Some local yards allow customer pickup loading, but Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons for delivery—contact our team to discuss pickup options or supplier yard pickup availability in your area.

Permit requirements vary by municipality, county, and HOA rules. Woodlawn Hills homeowners should check local city or county public works rules and any HOA covenants for restrictions on bulk material delivery, street obstruction, or long-term storage. If the delivery requires street parking, blocking sidewalks, or heavy equipment, contact your city and your HOA ahead of time to avoid fines or scheduling delays.

In the San Antonio/Woodlawn Hills area you’ll commonly find crushed limestone (popular for driveways and base layers), base rock (3/4u0022 minus) for compaction and foundations, pea gravel and river rock for decorative beds and drainage, and decomposed granite for pathways. Crushed stone and base rock are best for structural uses like driveways and compacted bases, while pea gravel and river rock are better for aesthetics and drainage. Regional suppliers may offer local color/texture variations, so request photos or samples if appearance matters.

Yes. The broader San Antonio area commonly has clayey soils and caliche layers that affect drainage and compaction. Expansive clays can hold water and cause shifting, so use a well-draining gravel base, proper subgrade preparation, and consider geotextile fabric to separate soil from aggregate. For driveways and structural uses, a compactable base rock with good drainage will perform better than decorative round rock alone.

Crushed stone and base rock are widely available and typically the most economical per ton because they are standard construction materials. Pea gravel and river rock are often pricier per ton due to higher demand for decorative uses and sometimes longer transport distances. Availability and exact pricing can vary by supplier; Hello Gravel shows local options and live pricing based on your zip code.

Yes. Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks, which need adequate access, turning room, and overhead clearance. Drivers will assess site safety and may refuse tipping if access is unsafe; tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion but not guaranteed.
