Gravel: Built For Austin Drainage Needs • Next-Day Gravel Delivery For Metro
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Frequently Asked Questions - Austin gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Austin.
Delivered gravel prices in Austin typically vary by material and quantity; expect roughly $20 to $60 per ton for common gravels, though specialty stone can cost more. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and often includes free delivery in many areas; estimated material cost for a typical 2-car driveway (about 12-20 tons) would therefore range widely, so get a personalized quote to lock in price and delivery fees. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
For Austin’s clay soils, crushed limestone or crusher-run (a mix of fines and stone) is usually best because it compacts and forms a stable, interlocking base. Use a compacted crusher-run base of 3-6 inches with a 3/4" or 3/8" crushed stone surface for driveways; decomposed granite is an attractive option for low-traffic paths and patios but can wash out on steep slopes. Local geology means material color and texture may vary, so ask to see local samples before ordering.
A common 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 40 ft) needs roughly 10 to 20 tons depending on depth: about 13 tons at 4" depth and about 19 tons at 6" depth, using a conversion of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard. Your exact needs depend on driveway dimensions, desired compacted depth, and whether you already have a base. Hello Gravel’s material calculator can give a quick estimate and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Crushed limestone is durable and a good all-purpose choice for driveways and higher-traffic patios because it compacts well and resists shifting. Decomposed granite (DG) has a natural look that suits Austin landscapes and compacts nicely for low-traffic paths and patios, but it can erode in heavy rain and may need stabilizers. Loose pea gravel looks nice but moves underfoot and in vehicles, so it’s less ideal for driveways without edging and a solid base.
Gravel generally drains better than paved surfaces, but heavy storms and flash floods common in parts of Austin can wash away loose stone if the area is poorly graded. Use proper grading, edge restraints, geotextile fabric, and an appropriate base to reduce washout; consider additional drainage (French drains or swales) for low-lying or flood-prone areas. For properties near flood zones, evaluate alternative surfacing or engineered solutions with a contractor.
Professional installation costs vary based on site prep, grading, erosion control, and material type; typical ranges for a standard 2-car gravel driveway in the Austin area are about $1,500 to $6,000. The lower end reflects minimal prep and material-only work; the higher end includes heavy grading, removal of old material, compaction equipment, and drainage fixes. Get multiple local quotes and confirm what’s included (compaction, edging, hauling) before hiring.
Expect to regrade and redistribute gravel after heavy storms or high-traffic seasons, and plan to top up surface material every 2 to 5 years depending on use and drainage. Light maintenance like raking and filling low spots can be done yearly; high-traffic driveways may need more frequent attention. Good initial compaction and edge restraints will reduce how often you need to add material.
Austin has relatively mild freeze-thaw cycles, so freeze-thaw damage is less of a concern than drainage and standing water. Gravel performs well if you provide a stable, well-draining base and slope the site to shed water; in low-lying areas you should add engineered base layers, geotextile fabric, and drainage features to prevent settling and washout. If you have recurring standing water, consult a local contractor or civil engineer for a drainage plan before placing gravel.
Hello Gravel connects homeowners and contractors in Austin with local suppliers and dump-truck delivery—check your zip code on our site to see availability and get an instant quote, with a minimum order of 3 tons. You can also source bulk material from local quarries, landscape supply yards, and masonry yards in Travis and Williamson counties, but compare delivery fees and material specs. Always ask suppliers about particle size, crush rate, and whether the price includes delivery and spreading.
Rules vary: resurfacing an existing driveway with gravel often does not require a city permit, but changes that affect curb cuts, stormwater runoff, or increase impervious cover may trigger City of Austin requirements. Many HOAs have design covenants that restrict driveway material and appearance, so check your HOA guidelines before ordering. When in doubt, contact the City of Austin Development Services and your HOA to confirm local rules before you buy material.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
