Why Driftwood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Driftwood is a growing West Texas community with a city population of 6,440 and an annual growth rate of 18.10%. Located in hardiness zone 8b, the area averages 228 sunny days per year and receives 35.23 inches of rainfall annually, creating a climate that combines strong sun exposure with occasional heavy storms. That mix—rapid growth, new construction, and weather swings—drives steady demand for reliable aggregates. Homeowners and small contractors in Driftwood turn to quality gravel for driveways, erosion control, drainage trenches, and low-water landscaping because it balances durability, permeability, and low maintenance in local conditions. Gravel performs especially well in Driftwood’s environment: it sheds water during sudden downpours, reduces mud on sloped sites, and holds up under prolonged sun exposure. Locally sourced gravel reflects the region’s geology, so color and texture will vary by supplier. Hello Gravel connects Driftwood homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery, and material guidance so you get the right gravel for driveways, pathways, drainage projects, and xeriscaping without the hassle of sourcing multiple vendors.Popular Projects in Driftwood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Driftwood gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Driftwood.
Costs vary by material type, amount, delivery distance, and whether you hire a contractor to spread and compact. Expect to pay for the gravel by the ton (or cubic yard) plus any hauling and labor; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery in 2+ business days with optional next-day service for an extra fee. For a rough estimate, calculate material needs (see size estimates below), then get a local quote through Hello Gravel to include delivery and any spreading or compaction charges.
Angular crushed stone (crushed limestone or crushed granite) is usually best for driveways in Driftwood because the pieces lock together and resist shifting during dry heat and storm runoff. Avoid loose pea gravel for primary driveways since it migrates and ruts under vehicle traffic. For better performance in heavy rains, combine a compacted aggregate base with a coarser drainage layer under the wearing course.
Use area x depth to calculate. Typical guidance at a 6-inch compacted base: 1-car (12 ft x 20 ft) ≈ 4.4 cubic yards (about 6-7 tons); 2-car (20 ft x 20 ft) ≈ 7.4 cubic yards (about 10-12 tons); 3-car (30 ft x 20 ft) ≈ 11.1 cubic yards (about 15-18 tons). Always add 10-15% for compaction, grading, and waste and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum.
Yes, discounts and minimums depend on the supplier and truck size. Hello Gravel’s platform shows local supplier pricing and enforces a 3-ton minimum; larger orders often receive lower per-ton pricing and contractors can get bulk pricing depending on the supplier. Delivery fees depend on distance, site access, and whether you request next-day service or spreading, so request a quote to see any volume discounts.
Gravel can erode or wash out if placed on steep slopes, improperly graded surfaces, or without edge restraints and a proper base. Prevent washouts by installing a stable, compacted base, using geotextile fabric where needed, adding edge restraint, and designing drainage paths or swales to divert runoff. Regular upkeep after big storms (regrading and adding material) also helps maintain the surface.
For drainage and durability, crushed granite or angular crushed limestone are generally better because they bind and lock when compacted while still allowing water to pass between larger pieces. Pea gravel drains well but shifts and can develop ruts, so it is better for decorative areas, walkways, or low-traffic spots rather than driveways. If drainage is a priority, use an open-graded base layer or larger drainage stone beneath the wearing surface.
Plan for light maintenance every year and more substantial topping every 3-5 years. Typical tasks include grading and re-distributing material after storms or winter, filling ruts, and adding 1-3 inches of fresh gravel as needed; a typical 2-car driveway often needs a few tons every few years. You can do basic grading yourself with a rake or hire a local contractor for periodic regrading and compaction.
Gravel is the lowest-cost option up front and is quick to install, but it requires regular maintenance and periodic topping; with care a gravel driveway can perform for 10-20 years. Asphalt and concrete cost more initially but typically last longer with lower routine maintenance (asphalt 15-30 years with resurfacing, concrete 25-40+ years depending on conditions). Local soil, drainage, and use (heavy trucks, equipment) affect lifespan, so factor those into your decision.
Yes; gravel is a common and cost-effective base for RV pads and equipment access when installed correctly. For light RV use, a compacted 6-8 inch base of crushed stone is common; for heavy equipment or repeated heavy loads, plan on 10-12 inches or more and consider crushed rock road base and geotextile fabric to improve load distribution. Proper compaction and drainage are key to preventing rutting and settling.
Regulations vary by location, HOA, and subdivision. Some HOAs or building permits restrict driveway materials or front-yard gravel, while unincorporated areas may be more flexible; Driftwood rules can differ depending on your neighborhood and county jurisdiction. Check your HOA covenants and Hays County or city planning office before ordering, and contact Hello Gravel’s team if you need help understanding local requirements.
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.
