Gravel: Sun-Hardy Drainage For West Texas • Next-Day Gravel Delivery 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 Crystal City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Crystal City, Texas, with a city population of 6,330 and situated within a metro area of 2.5+ million residents, is a small but steadily growing West Texas community (0.40% annual growth). With 228 sunny days each year, about 34.25 inches of rainfall annually, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners balance heat-tolerant landscaping with occasional heavy rain events. That climate and the region's sandy, often calcareous soils drive demand for durable, well-graded aggregates: gravel stabilizes driveways, improves surface drainage, forms effective base layers for patios and pavers, and reduces erosion on sloped yards. Homeowners and contractors alike need materials that resist washout, compact reliably, and match local color and texture—so choosing the right gravel matters for performance and long-term maintenance.Popular Projects in Crystal City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Crystal City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Crystal City.
Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect delivered gravel to run roughly $25 to $70 per ton for common materials in the Crystal City area, with total delivered cost for a small driveway typically in the $100 to $600 range. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and works with local haulers, so exact price depends on the gravel type, distance to the quarry, and whether you request next-day delivery or spreading.
Crushed limestone (3/4" to 1") is the most common choice for Crystal City driveways because it compacts well and drains, while pea gravel and rounded river rock are good for decorative beds and low-traffic paths. Decomposed granite gives a natural look for walking paths but can be dustier and softer; local suppliers may also offer caliche-based mixes reflecting regional geology.
Yes—gravel performs well in hot, dry West Texas because it drains quickly and does not soften from heat. Expect more dust, potential displacement after heavy storms, and occasional washouts; proper base, edging, and periodic maintenance will keep a gravel surface functional in this climate.
A 20x20 ft driveway (400 sq ft) requires about 5.2 tons at 3 inches, about 6.9 tons at 4 inches, and about 10.4 tons at 6 inches using a typical conversion of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons. Round up to the next whole ton to allow for compaction and ordering constraints, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum per delivery.
With a proper base and regular upkeep, the base can last many years while the top layer typically needs attention every 3 to 10 years depending on traffic and storms. Plan to regrade after heavy rains, add 1 to 2 inches of fresh gravel every 2 to 5 years, and perform minor repairs (fill potholes, recompact) as needed.
Crushed limestone compacts well, drains, and is relatively affordable, making it a popular local choice; decomposed granite offers a natural look but can be softer and dustier. Asphalt gives a smoother, lower-maintenance surface but costs more, reduces permeability, and requires different long-term care; choose based on budget, desired appearance, and drainage needs.
Hello Gravel connects you with local quarries and haulers serving Crystal City so you can get bulk gravel delivered to your address—check your zip code for availability and current pricing. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle); tailgate spreading can sometimes be done at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed.
Installed gravel driveways in rural West Texas commonly run about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot, depending on site prep, base material, and access—so a 20x20 driveway might cost roughly $600 to $1,600 installed. Exact bids vary with grading complexity, need for imported base, truck access, and compaction equipment, so get multiple local quotes for an accurate price.
For French drains, use clean 3/4" crushed stone (or similar washed gravel) with 6 to 12 inches of stone under and around the pipe and a trench width of about 12 to 18 inches, wrapped in geotextile fabric to keep soil out. For slope erosion control use larger stone (1" to 3" or riprap) in areas with concentrated flow, and always pair stone with fabric and proper grading to manage West Texas storm runoff.
Stabilized or resin-bound gravel provides a firmer, lower-dust surface that resists rutting and displacement, so it is worth considering if you regularly park heavy vehicles or want a tidy, low-maintenance look. The upfront cost is higher and requires professional installation, so for only occasional heavy loading a properly prepared compacted base with a thicker gravel layer may be a more economical choice.
Use a geotextile fabric under the gravel, add sturdy edging to keep material contained, and compact the base thoroughly during installation to reduce migration and dust. Regularly remove weeds, use a weed barrier or pre-emergent, and add fresh gravel or recompact high-traffic areas every few years to keep the surface stable.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
