Gravel: Sun-Tough Drainage For West Texas • Next-Day Gravel Delivery In De Kalb
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 De Kalb Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
De Kalb is a West Texas community with a city population of 4,830 and is part of a metro area of 100,000. With a modest growth rate of 0.50% annually, homeowners and local contractors are steadily investing in property upgrades and outdoor projects. The local climate—about 205/year sunny days, 36.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 5b—creates a mix of intense sun and seasonal moisture that affects erosion, drainage, and plant choices. That combination drives demand for reliable aggregates: durable gravel is sought for driveways, drainage swales, patios, and water-wise landscaping. Residents want materials that resist washout, provide a stable surface under vehicles and foot traffic, and complement the regional color palette while suppliers need predictable orders and timely deliveries.Popular Projects in De Kalb This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - De Kalb gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in De Kalb.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Typical delivered prices in smaller West Texas towns like De Kalb vary by material and distance: expect roughly $20-$45 per ton for common base gravels and crushed limestone, and $40-$75 per ton for decorative or river rock; delivery may be free in many areas or carry a small fee (commonly $0-$120) depending on supplier distance and site access. For an exact price enter your zip code or contact our team.
For driveways in the De Kalb area, crushed limestone or a #57/3/4" stone is a durable, well-draining choice that compacts well and resists rutting. For erosion control use larger stone (1" to 3" crushed rock or riprap) or washed river rock in channels and swales; river rock looks good and slows water but does not compact well for driving surfaces. Match the stone size to the use: small angular stone for compaction, larger rounded stone for water velocity and bank protection.
Many properties around De Kalb have fine, clay-rich soils that can hold water and promote potholes if you skip proper base work. A compacted sub-base, a geotextile fabric in soft spots, and a crowned surface that sheds water (1-2% grade) will greatly extend life. Also plan for drainage features such as ditches, culverts, or French drains where runoff concentrates.
Estimates assume 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons and typical depths noted: a 1-car driveway (10x20 ft) at 3" depth needs about 2.5-3.5 tons; a 2-car driveway (20x20 ft) at 3" depth needs about 5-7 tons. A 10x10 pad at 3" depth needs roughly 1.2-1.5 tons. A rural lane 12 feet wide by 100 feet at 3" depth is roughly 14-18 tons; increase quantities 30-50% for deeper bases or heavy traffic. Use our material calculator for a precise quote.
Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve De Kalb; availability varies by zip code so check our site for exact partners near you. Delivery is typically by tri-axle dump truck and hauling is included in your order where listed; spreading is sometimes offered but is discretionary and depends on truck type and site access. If you need spreading or installation, request it at checkout and confirm with the driver or ask our team to help arrange local contractors.
Prices vary with material and local supply, but typical ranges are: common drive-grade crushed stone or base gravel $20-$35 per ton (about $14-$25 per cubic yard); crushed limestone or #57 stone $25-$45 per ton (about $18-$32 per cubic yard); decorative or river rock $40-$75 per ton. Local quarry distance, seasonal demand, and delivery access are the biggest drivers of price differences.
In De Kalb’s hot, dry conditions you should plan to regrade and recompact high-traffic gravel driveways every 1-3 years and add a thin top dressing or “topping up” every 3-7 years depending on use. Keep vegetation trimmed, fix low spots quickly, reestablish crown to shed water after storms, and replace washed material in drainage areas. Proper initial base construction and periodic compaction reduce long-term maintenance needs.
Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and easiest to repair for rural De Kalb properties, but it requires periodic grading and topping up. Asphalt offers a smoother, lower-dust surface with moderate upfront cost and periodic sealcoating and resurfacing over decades. Concrete is the most expensive to install but tends to be low maintenance long term; however, concrete can crack and is less practical for long, low-traffic lanes common in rural settings. Choose based on budget, traffic, and maintenance willingness.
Clear a drop zone free of wires, low branches, fences, cars, and soft ground before delivery; trucks are typically tri-axle dump rigs and need room to maneuver. Note driveway width and overhead clearance at checkout and add delivery instructions in Order Notes; request tailgate spreading there if you want the driver to consider it. For tight or remote rural sites expect additional fees or alternate delivery arrangements.
Measure your area and choose depth based on use (2-3" for top dressing, 4-6" for base under driveways) and pick material suited to the job (crushed limestone for driveways, larger stone for erosion control). Use Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact our team for a custom estimate; we connect you with local suppliers, show transparent pricing, and let you select delivery dates. Include any color preferences or site notes at checkout to help suppliers source the best match.
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.
