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!

Why Big Lake Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Big Lake is a small but active West Texas community of 3,250 residents, experiencing steady development with a growth rate of 1.00% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 35.78 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of sun, occasional heavy showers, and dry spells that shape landscaping and construction needs. Homeowners and local builders are increasingly focused on durable, low-maintenance solutions for driveways, patios, drainage, and erosion control. That demand makes quality aggregates essential: well-graded gravel reduces rutting on driveways, improves surface drainage after storms, and provides a stable base for pavers and hardscape features in Big Lake’s environment. Gravel performs especially well in Big Lake’s conditions because it sheds water, resists compaction under sunlight-driven drying cycles, and blends with the region’s native soils and rock. For most residential jobs—driveway resurfacing, French drains, base layers for patios, and xeriscape pathways—3/4" to 1" crushed gravel or pea gravel offers the right balance of compaction and permeability. Hello Gravel sources locally to match Big Lake’s geology, connects you with trusted suppliers and haulers, and lets you choose a delivery date (standard delivery requires 2+ business days; next-day before noon CST may be available for a fee). We handle coordination so homeowners get the right gravel delivered where and when they need it.Popular Projects in Big Lake This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Big Lake gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Big Lake.
Delivered gravel prices in West Texas towns like Big Lake vary with material type, distance from the quarry, and truck accessibility. A common ballpark for delivered aggregate is roughly $25 to $60 per ton, although specialty stone can cost more; delivery fees may be included or added depending on route and minimums. Exact pricing for your address is available when you check your zip code or request a quote from Hello Gravel.
Angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or crusher run) and locally produced crushed limestone perform best in hot, arid West Texas because they compact well and resist wind and washing. Pea gravel and rounded river rock look nice but tend to migrate under traffic and wind, so they usually need edging or a compacted base. Ask for crushed, angular materials when you want a stable, low-maintenance surface in Big Lake.
Use compacted depth to estimate; 1 cubic yard of gravel is about 1.35 tons. Typical estimates: a 2-car driveway (approx. 20x24 ft) needs about 8 to 12 tons at 4" to 6" compacted depth. A 10x20 ft parking pad needs roughly 3 to 4 tons at 4" to 6", and a 100 ft long single-lane rural drive (12 ft wide) needs about 20 to 30 tons at 4" to 6"; increase quantities for softer soil or thicker bases.
Local aggregate comes from regional quarries serving Pecos County and surrounding West Texas; Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and haulers. Minimum order sizes commonly start at 3 tons through Hello Gravel, and delivery rules depend on truck access, driveway slope, and drop location. For exact supplier names, minimums, and localized fees, request a quote or check availability by zip code on our site.
In Big Lake's hot, dry, and sometimes windy environment, light top-offs are common every 1 to 3 years as fines blow away and high spots settle. More significant regrading or adding several inches of new material is typically needed every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic, erosion from storms, and how well the base was installed. Regular maintenance after heavy rain events or seasonal windstorms will extend the surface life.
Start with a well-drained, compacted base: excavate soft soil, install geotextile fabric over unstable areas, and place 4" to 6" of compactable base material (crusher run or caliche) compacted in lifts. Top with a 2" to 3" wearing course of angular crushed stone for traction and durability, and add edge restraints to stop migration. Proper pitch for drainage and compacting with a plate compactor or roller are especially important in West Texas to resist washouts during storms.
Gravel has a much lower upfront cost and is easier to install for rural Big Lake properties, often costing only a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on size. Asphalt or concrete requires a higher initial investment but generally lasts longer and needs less frequent top-ups; however, those surfaces can be more expensive to repair and may need local permits. For many Big Lake homeowners, gravel is the most practical balance of cost, drainage, and rural appearance, but long-term budgets and traffic should guide the choice.
When ordering in Big Lake, note clear drop coordinates, overhead wires, gates, and preferred side of driveway in Order Notes so the driver can plan the safest dump. Expect standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day options if placed before noon CST (fees may apply); tailgate spreading is possible but not guaranteed and is at the driver's discretion. If access is tight or you need exact placement, discuss options with Hello Gravel ahead of time to avoid extra fees or re-dumping.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and size can vary based on local geology, so the delivered gravel may not match photos exactly. You can add color or appearance preferences in Order Notes and ask for product samples or photos before delivery when available. If the material is significantly different than expected, contact customer service and we will work to address the issue according to our policies.
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.
