Gravel: Built For West Texas Drainage • Choose Your Gravel Delivery Date
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Elmendorf Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elmendorf sits in West Texas with a city population of 9,380 and a steady growth rate of 2.41% annually. That growth, combined with a climate averaging 225 sunny days per year, USDA hardiness zone 8b, and 32.91 inches of annual rainfall, is driving steady demand for practical outdoor projects: driveways, drainage upgrades, patios, and erosion control. Homeowners here look for aggregates that stand up to strong sun, handle occasional heavy rainfall, and match local soil conditions. Quality gravel is valued because it improves drainage on clay-prone soils, reduces dust on high-traffic areas, and provides a durable, low-maintenance surface that complements new construction and landscaping as the city expands.Popular Projects in Elmendorf This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elmendorf gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Elmendorf.
Delivered price varies by material and local supply, but typical ranges in the Elmendorf/West Texas area are: crushed limestone $30-$55 per ton, crusher run $25-$45 per ton, and river rock $40-$70 per ton. Prices depend on truck access, delivery distance, and seasonal demand. Contact Hello Gravel for an exact local quote and check minimum order requirements (3 tons).
For heat resilience and drainage in Elmendorf's hot, occasionally wet climate, angular crushed stone (3/4" crushed limestone or crushed rock) is best because it compacts well and sheds water. For visible surfaces or dry creek beds, river rock or larger washed stone (1"+) offers good drainage and stays cooler in sun. Always account for local soil—high-clay soils may need a deeper stone base and geotextile fabric to keep drainage consistent.
Approximate estimates: a 12' x 100' driveway at 3" deep needs about 16 tons; a 10' x 10' patio at 2" deep needs about 1 ton; a 50' drainage trench 12" x 12" needs about 3 tons. These are starting points—measure your area, use our material calculator, and round up for compaction and waste. Local suppliers can confirm once you give exact dimensions and desired depth.
Hello Gravel standard delivery is usually included in upfront pricing for many areas, but costs depend on distance and access; expect delivery fees to rise for sites off a paved road or with difficult access. Tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion and may incur an extra fee of roughly $50-$200 depending on the job size and local contractor policies. Minimum orders start at 3 tons, and typical delivery trucks are tri-axle dump trucks.
Standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Lead times can lengthen in spring and early summer when landscaping and construction demand peaks, and after major storms. We recommend booking ahead for larger projects or specific delivery dates.
Rules vary by project type and location, so check with Elmendorf city or Bexar County permitting offices for commercial work or new driveway ties to public roads. Common requirements include driveway permits, setbacks, and dust-control measures for commercial sites. Hello Gravel can help you plan materials, but you should verify permits before starting work.
Plan to inspect and do light maintenance annually: rake low spots, add 1/2" to 1" of topping gravel every 2-4 years depending on traffic. Major regrading or topping (1"-2") typically costs material plus delivery; homeowners can expect small refreshes of a few hundred dollars, while larger driveways may run into the low thousands. Heavy summer heat and occasional downpours can increase erosion, so check after storms.
Gravel has lower upfront cost and easier repairs compared with asphalt or concrete, making it a practical choice for many Elmendorf homeowners. Asphalt and concrete offer longer lifespans and lower dust and grading needs but have higher installation costs and may require permits or HOA approval. Consider budget, desired maintenance level, local drainage, and HOA rules when choosing.
On slopes, start with a compacted base of 4"-6" of crushed stone (base material) and then add a 2"-3" wearing layer of smaller gravel; use geotextile fabric to separate soil from stone and slow migration. Install terraces, swales, or edging to control runoff on steeper slopes and direct water to proper drains. Proper compaction and grading are essential in West Texas where heavy rains can cause sudden washouts.
Contract bids usually include material cost (40%-55% of total), delivery and truck fees (10%-20%), labor for spreading and grading (20%-35%), and any additional services like compaction or edging (5%-15%). Exact percentages vary by project size and site difficulty; get itemized bids and confirm whether delivery and spreading are included. Hello Gravel can provide materials and coordinate local haulers so you can compare contractor line items easily.
Gravel reflects local geology, so color and texture can vary across West Texas and Elmendorf; photos are representative but not exact. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes at checkout, and our suppliers will try to match requests when possible, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed. If appearance is critical, request a sample or contact our team for options before ordering.
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.
