Why Granite Shoals Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Granite Shoals has a city population of 4,800 and sits within the Austin-Round Rock metro area. With a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually, local building and landscaping demand is rising as homeowners update properties and new construction appears. The local climate—about 230 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates conditions where good drainage and erosion control matter: long dry spells increase evaporation and heavy rain events can cause runoff. For homeowners, reliable aggregates like gravel help stabilize driveways, form base layers for patios, and create low-maintenance landscape beds that stand up to Granite Shoals' sun and occasional downpours. Because materials vary regionally, Granite Shoals gravel often reflects West Texas geology, so homeowners look for suppliers who can deliver consistent grades and textures suited to local soil and slope conditions.Popular Projects in Granite Shoals This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Granite Shoals gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Granite Shoals.
Locally you can find crushed stone (commonly called #57 or base rock), pea gravel, river rock, and decomposed granite-style products. Appearance and gradation vary because Hello Gravel sources from nearby suppliers, so color and texture will reflect West Texas and Hill Country geology. Tell us your project type at checkout and we can suggest the best local option.
River gravel is rounded, larger, and used for decorative beds and low-maintenance drainage; pea gravel is small, rounded, and good for walkways, play areas, and patios. In Granite Shoals both drain well, but pea gravel can shift more underfoot and may require edging or stabilizer on slopes or driveways. Choose river rock for larger accent areas and pea gravel for soft, decorative surfaces.
Match the gravel to the job: use crushed stone or #1 gravel for driveways and heavy load areas, pea gravel or decorative river rock for patios and landscaping, and decomposed granite-style mixes for compact walking paths. Consider local climate and drainage near Lake LBJ: heavier, angular stone is better where vehicles travel and where good drainage is needed. If you are unsure, use our material calculator or contact our team for a recommendation.
You can lay gravel directly on soil for low-traffic decorative areas, but for driveways and lasting surfaces we recommend removing topsoil, installing a compacted sub-base, and using landscape fabric or a geotextile to limit mixing and weed growth. Proper compaction and a base layer of crushed stone help prevent rutting in Texas clay soils after heavy rain. Hello Gravel drivers can deliver the material but note spreading is at the driver's discretion.
No. For a driveway you should plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel over a stable base for typical cars; heavier traffic or poor subgrade may need 8 inches. Two inches works only for decorative coverings or temporary pathways, not for vehicle traffic. Local soil and drainage conditions around Granite Shoals make a thicker, compacted base a better choice.
Avoid pea gravel on steep slopes, primary driveways, or high-traffic areas because it shifts easily and can track into the house. Also skip pea gravel where you need a firm, compacted surface for vehicles or equipment. If you like the look, consider stabilizers or edging to keep it contained in problem spots.
A 50 lb bag of pea gravel is about 0.5 cubic foot and will cover roughly 6 square feet at a 1-inch depth or about 3 square feet at a 2-inch depth. For pathways and patios most homeowners use 2 inches or more, so plan about 3 square feet per bag for 2 inches. For larger jobs in Granite Shoals, ordering by the ton is usually more economical.
Number 1 gravel refers to large, angular crushed rock (often 2-3 inches) used as a structural base for roads, heavy-duty driveways, and as drainage rock for septic trenches. It provides strong support and excellent drainage but is not suitable as a finished walking surface. Use it where load-bearing strength and drainage are priorities.
Material cost depends on depth, gravel type, and current local prices; as an example, a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 4 inches thick is about 200 sq ft and needs roughly 3 to 4 tons of material. Multiply the tonnage by your local per-ton price and add delivery, grading, and compaction labor to get a full estimate; use Hello Gravel's calculator or get a quote to see current local pricing for Granite Shoals zip codes. Installation costs vary, so we recommend getting a quote before you order.
Common mistakes include using the wrong particle size for the application, not installing a proper base and compaction, failing to plan for drainage, and skipping edging which lets material spread into lawns. Also avoid mixing many different rock sizes and colors without a plan, which can look cluttered. Consider seasonal runoff and local soils around Granite Shoals when planning layout and slope.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets who deliver bulk gravel; minimum orders start at 3 tons. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed, so request it at checkout and plan for the possibility of needing a separate spreader or landscaper. Check delivery windows when you schedule your date.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible by phone or text; changes are easiest before an order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but changes or cancellations may be limited once the supplier or truck is scheduled. Refer to your order confirmation for contact details and timing guidelines.
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.
