Gravel: Hill Country Drainage And Erosion Control • Next-Day Gravel Delivery When Available
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 Canyon Lake Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Canyon Lake is a growing Hill Country community with a city population of 19,940 and a metro area exceeding 2.6+ million. With steady expansion at 1.80% annually, homeowners and small contractors are actively investing in outdoor projects—from new driveways and patio bases to erosion control on sloped lots. The local climate averages 230 sunny days and 30.00 inches of rain each year and sits in USDA hardiness zone 8b, so materials must handle occasional heavy downpours as well as long sun exposure. That mix of sun, moderate rain, and Hill Country topography drives demand for durable, well-graded aggregates; Canyon Lake residents look for gravel that promotes drainage, resists washouts, and creates stable surfaces for vehicles and hardscapes. Gravel is especially well-suited to Canyon Lake’s environment because it improves water infiltration, reduces surface runoff, and withstands UV exposure without breaking down. Angular crushed gravel is a great choice for sloped yards, French drains, permeable driveways, and base layers because it locks together and directs water away from foundations. Hello Gravel connects Canyon Lake homeowners with regional suppliers and professional haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled dump-truck delivery (typically tri-axle) with a 3 tons minimum, and options like next-day delivery where available. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; contact our team for help sizing quantities and choosing the right gravel for your project.Popular Projects in Canyon Lake This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Canyon Lake gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Canyon Lake.
Yes, gravel can be used around waterfront and swimming areas, but choose washed, larger stone like pea gravel or 3/8" to 3/4" rounded river rock for safer footing and less mud. Avoid fine sand or crushed fines that wash into the lake; place fabric under the gravel and add edging to limit erosion. Check local shoreline and permitting rules before placing material near the waterline.
For a pedestrian path, plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel; for residential driveways, 6 to 8 inches is typical, and 8 to 12 inches for heavier trucks. Install a compacted base, landscape fabric, and edge restraints to prevent spreading, especially because Central Texas storms can cause washouts. Local soil in the Hill Country can be rocky or clayey, so adjust depth if your subgrade is soft.
Angular crushed limestone or #57 stone (roughly 3/4" size) performs well for drainage because it sheds water and compacts into a stable surface. These materials are commonly sourced locally and resist washout better than fine sand or dust. Use washed materials for patios and areas near water to keep fines from increasing turbidity.
Gravel itself does not attract snakes, but rock piles and loose edges can provide hiding spots for snakes and small rodents. Keep edges tidy, remove rock piles, and maintain short vegetation to reduce hiding places. If snake encounter is a concern, talk to local wildlife control for safe mitigation options.
Gravel is not a flood-control solution and small gravel will wash or shift if lake levels rise or heavy runoff occurs. For shoreline stabilization, larger riprap or engineered solutions are more appropriate and usually require permits. Use gravel on upland surfaces and consult local authorities before placing material where high water or erosion is possible.
You may need permits for work within the lake setback, shoreline, or floodplain; rules vary by county and the lake authority. Contact local permitting offices or the lake management authority before installing gravel near the water. Hello Gravel can supply material specs to support permit applications if needed.
For low-maintenance, light-colored crushed limestone or decomposed granite are good choices because they reflect heat, compact well, and look tidy with minimal upkeep. Pea gravel is comfortable underfoot for patios and walkways but may require occasional raking and topping up. Consider local climate—materials that lock together reduce dust and weed growth.
Multiply the area in square feet by the desired depth in inches, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards (area(ft2) * depth(in) / 324 = cubic yards). Most gravels weigh about 1.4 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard, so multiply cubic yards by that figure to estimate tons. Hello Gravel has a material calculator on the site and a 3-ton minimum order for delivery in most areas.
Hello Gravel serves nationwide with a network of local suppliers, so delivery is available to most Canyon Lake addresses—check your zip code on our site. Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries come on dump trucks (usually tri-axle) and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed.
Gravel, especially dark or angular stone, can become very hot in Central Texas summers and may be uncomfortable to walk on barefoot. Light-colored limestone and pea gravel reflect more heat and stay cooler, but footwear is recommended during midday heat. Provide shaded pathways or groundcover to make walking surfaces more comfortable.
Adding gravel directly into the lake or in the nearshore zone can change habitat and increase turbidity, which may affect fish spawning and water quality. If your project impacts the shoreline, use washed stone, avoid dumping fines, and consult lake management or a local biologist to minimize ecological harm. Best practice is to keep gravel work above the ordinary high water line and follow local guidance.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request order changes or cancellations; our team will try to accommodate requests before the order is processed or dispatched. Modifications are easier the earlier you call and may be limited once a supplier or truck is scheduled. See our order and refund policies or contact customer service for assistance.
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.
