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.
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 Amarillo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
The city of Amarillo has a population of 206,128 and sits in the Texas Panhandle with a steady growth rate of 0.80% annually. With a semi-arid climate—270 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 19.00 inches, and hardiness zone 7a—local landscaping and building projects prioritize materials that handle heat, wind, and episodic heavy rains. That steady growth and ongoing residential development create consistent demand for durable aggregates for driveways, drainage, erosion control, and low-water landscaping. Homeowners here want gravel that resists shifting in wind-exposed yards, promotes quick drainage on compacted soils, and complements the region’s natural color palette. Because local geology affects texture and shade, sourcing regionally appropriate gravel helps projects look integrated and perform better over time.Popular Projects in Amarillo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Amarillo gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Amarillo.
Prices vary by type and supplier, but typical Amarillo ranges are: crushed limestone $25-$45 per ton, pea gravel $40-$70 per ton, and river rock $60-$120 per ton. Local supply, truck distance, and seasonal demand cause variation, so get a quote for your zip code. Hello Gravel will show available local pricing and delivery fees during checkout.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers in Amarillo rather than using in-house trucks. Delivery fees commonly range from free up to $150 depending on distance, material, and minimum order; our minimum order is 3 tons. For specific supplier names and exact delivery fees, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or call our team for a local quote.
Crushed limestone or crushed rock with angular particles is usually best as a base because it locks together and handles the Panhandle's alkaline clay and seasonal rain well. Pea gravel and river rock are good decorative top layers but will shift on clay unless you have a solid base and edging. Using a geotextile fabric and a compacted base helps performance in Amarillo's hot, low-humidity summers and occasional heavy storms.
Assuming a 4" finished depth and about 15% compaction: a 2-car driveway (roughly 20'x24') typically needs 12-18 tons including base and top dressing; a 1-car driveway (10'x20') needs about 6-10 tons. A 10'x10' patio at 4" needs 2-3 tons, and a 20'x30' parking pad at 4" needs about 15-22 tons. These are estimates; steeper slopes or deeper base requirements increase quantities, and Hello Gravel's calculator can give a precise amount for your site.
Requirements vary by neighborhood and HOA. Many residential projects do not need a city permit, but drainage, runoff, curb cuts, or work in a public right-of-way can trigger city review or permits with Amarillo Planning and Zoning. Always check your HOA rules and contact the City of Amarillo or your local permitting office before starting work to avoid fines or required changes.
Routine regrading or top-ups are commonly needed every 1-3 years for driveways and higher-traffic pads, and sooner after heavy storms that cause washouts. In Amarillo, spring and the occasional intense summer storms are the most likely times for erosion, so inspect your gravel after major rains. Regular maintenance like filling ruts, topping 1-2 inches, and regrading low spots keeps surfaces usable longer.
Costs vary by scope, but a basic breakdown: excavation and grading $500-$2,000, geotextile fabric $0.50-$1.50 per sq ft installed, base rock 6-8" at $25-$45 per ton, top gravel 2-3" at $25-$70 per ton, and compaction labor $250-$1,000 depending on size. Total installed costs for a homeowner-grade gravel driveway in Amarillo often range from $1,000 to $6,000 or more depending on length, access, and drainage solutions. Ask Hello Gravel for local supplier and contractor quotes to get an accurate job estimate.
Key practices are proper grading with a slight crown, directing water to swales or culverts, and installing edge restraints to keep material in place. French drains, rock-lined swales, and perforated pipe underdrains help where runoff concentrates, and geotextile fabric prevents mixing with underlying clay. Because Amarillo sees occasional heavy downpours, address concentrated flow paths first to prevent repeated washouts.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is quick to install, typically $1-$4 per sq ft installed, but requires more ongoing maintenance like periodic regrading and topping. Asphalt and concrete have higher upfront costs (asphalt roughly $3-$7 per sq ft, concrete $4-$10 per sq ft) but lower routine maintenance; however, they can crack from freeze-thaw or subgrade movement and cost more to repair. For many rural Amarillo properties, gravel is a practical, lower-cost choice if you accept periodic upkeep and proper drainage.
Contractors commonly recommend 6-8 inches of compacted crushed base (angular rock) topped with 2-3 inches of finish gravel for driveways, with 8-12 inches of base for heavy loads. Installing geotextile fabric beneath the base reduces mixing with native clay and limits weed invasion. Proper compaction in several lifts is essential, especially on Amarillo's clay soils, to reduce settling and rutting.
Decomposed granite and crushed limestone are popular for low-maintenance pathways and patios because they compact well and create a firm walking surface. Pea gravel is pleasant to look at but tends to migrate and requires edging and occasional replenishment. Choose materials and edging based on the amount of foot or vehicle traffic and whether you want a firm, walkable surface or a decorative finish.
Expect delivery by local contracted dump trucks, typically tri-axle, with a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Add site notes at checkout for access instructions, and our team will confirm any special requirements before dispatch.
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.
