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.

Why Comal County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Comal County homeowners are working in a fast-growing Texas region with a city population of 1.1+ million and a metro area population of 4.6+ million, and the area is expanding at a 2.10% annual growth rate. That growth, combined with climate factors—218 sunny days per year, average annual rainfall of 38.97 inches, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8a—keeps demand high for durable, well-draining materials. Gravel is a common choice for driveways, pathways, erosion control, and basic drainage because it sheds water, stabilizes surfaces, and requires less frequent upkeep than organic coverings. As lots are developed and yards are reworked, homeowners need predictable delivery and clear guidance on material selection and quantities to avoid project delays and extra truck trips.Popular Projects in Comal County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Comal County gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Comal County.
Hello Gravel arranges dump-truck delivery (typically tri-axle) with a 3-ton minimum order. Many Comal County orders include free delivery, but fees when charged typically range from $0 to $150 depending on distance, driveway access, and order size; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. If a tailgate spread is requested, drivers may provide it at their discretion and may charge extra if they agree to do it.
Crushed limestone and crushed rock are the most commonly effective choices in Comal County because they are angular, compact well, and interlock on sloped surfaces. Caliche and crusher-run products provide a solid base in many local soils, while round river rock is attractive but tends to roll and is less stable on steep grades. For slopes, choose angular stone, consider a coarser base course, and use edging or stabilization to keep material in place.
Use these typical quantities: at 2" depth expect about 6.2 cubic yards (≈8.6 tons); at 3" depth about 9.3 cubic yards (≈13.0 tons); at 4" depth about 12.4 cubic yards (≈17.3 tons). Local material density varies, so plan on 1 cubic yard ≈1.3–1.6 tons and order a bit extra (5-10%) to allow for settling and compaction.
Hot summers dry and harden surfaces but ultraviolet and thermal cycles do not degrade stone itself; the bigger issues are intense summer storms that can cause washouts and rutting if the surface is not well graded or compacted. Good drainage, proper crown and compaction, plus periodic regrading after major storms will extend life and reduce washouts in Comal County.
For most residential driveways in the area, install a compacted subbase of 4"–6" of crusher-run or caliche and top with a 2"–3" wearing layer of 3/4" minus or crushed limestone. For heavier loads or poor subsoils increase the base to 6"–8" and consider geotextile fabric and edging. Always grade for surface drainage (slight crown or side slope) so water runs off rather than along the driveway.
Regulations vary by jurisdiction and by HOA; many unincorporated areas of Comal County allow gravel driveways, but some city limits and homeowners associations (New Braunfels, Bulverde, etc.) may have standards on material type, color, or surface. Before installing, check with the Comal County permitting office and your HOA for specific rules and any drive approach or drainage requirements.
Comal County is served by regional limestone quarries, river rock suppliers along the Guadalupe, and recycled-crush suppliers. Typical retail price ranges in the area are roughly: crushed limestone $25–$45/ton, crushed concrete $15–$35/ton, river rock $50–$100/ton, and caliche $15–$30/ton, though prices vary by source, color, and delivery. Contact Hello Gravel to see negotiated local pricing and specific supplier options for your zip code.
Labor and equipment for spreading and compacting typically run about $5–$15 per cubic yard for straightforward, accessible jobs, with higher costs for difficult access, steep slopes, or small minimums. Some contractors charge by the hour or a flat minimum (for example $200–$600) for small jobs, so get a site-specific quote if you need spreading and compaction included. Hello Gravel can connect you with local haulers who will note any additional service fees at checkout.
Yes—geotextile fabric, gravel grids (plastic cellular pavers), and polymer stabilizers can significantly reduce rutting and migration on slopes and in wetter areas. All three are available locally at landscape suppliers and big-box stores: geotextile fabric is the most affordable, grids are more expensive up front but cut maintenance, and polymers are product-specific and used more for high-traffic areas. These products usually reduce long-term maintenance, but they add to initial cost so evaluate based on slope, traffic, and drainage needs.
Gravel availability is generally steady year-round, but demand spikes in spring and fall landscaping seasons and deliveries can be delayed after heavy storms or during peak construction. Avoid scheduling major orders during or immediately after periods of heavy rain, as muddy conditions can delay trucks and spreading; for faster delivery choose the 2+ business day standard or next-day option if available and needed. Ordering ahead for spring projects can prevent seasonal delays.
Plan on light maintenance each year—raking and regrading low spots after storms—and a modest top-up every 2–4 years depending on traffic. Typical top-up quantities average 0.5–1.5 tons per 1,000 sq ft per year; expect material costs plus delivery of roughly $100–$400 for periodic top-ups for an average residential driveway, with additional costs for regrading or machine work. Weed control, edge repair, and periodic compaction are inexpensive but help prevent bigger repairs later.
Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and easiest to install, with good long-term repairability, but it requires more regular maintenance (regrading, topping up) than asphalt or pavers. Asphalt has higher initial cost, better rideability and dust control, and typically lasts 15–25 years; pavers cost the most upfront but can last 25+ years with low maintenance. Crushed concrete is a cost-effective recycled option that performs similarly to crushed stone for base material and can be a budget-friendly surface if compacted and graded correctly.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
