Why Gun Barrel City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gun Barrel City, with a population of 1.0+ million, sits in West Texas where steady growth and a sunny, semi-arid climate shape homeowner needs. The region’s 0.70% annual growth is driving new driveways, patios, and landscape upgrades across residential neighborhoods and lakeside lots. With 225 sunny days per year and average annual rainfall of 34.40 inches, materials must perform through long dry spells and occasional heavy rain events. Gravel answers that need by providing durable, permeable surfacing that reduces runoff, limits erosion, and requires less maintenance than turf or poured surfaces. Homeowners choose quality aggregates for their stability under heat, effectiveness at channeling water away from foundations, and the aesthetic variety local stone delivers; regional sourcing means texture and color will reflect West Texas geology and local suppliers’ offerings. Gravel works especially well in Gun Barrel City’s conditions: angular crushed stone creates interlocking strength for driveways and slopes, while open-graded mixes improve drainage after storms and minimize puddling during the 34.40-inch wet season. In hardiness zone 8b with 225 sunny days/year, locally sourced gravel resists UV-related fading and stays stable under repeated temperature swings. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery so you get the right gravel type and quantity when you need it. We provide transparent pricing, a material calculator, and delivery windows starting at 2 business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST, helping homeowners and contractors complete projects efficiently.Popular Projects in Gun Barrel City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gun Barrel City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Gun Barrel City.
Prices vary by material and season, but expect common gravels delivered to Gun Barrel City to run roughly $30 to $60 per ton. For a typical driveway-sized order (about 15 tons) that works out to approximately $450 to $900 before optional fees for fast delivery or spreading. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and often includes standard delivery in the quoted price; enter your zip code or get a quote for an exact local price.
For Gun Barrel City’s hot summers and occasional heavy rains, 3/4" crushed limestone or crusher run are reliable for driveways because they compact and shed water well. Pea gravel is attractive for yards and patios but shifts under vehicle traffic and may need edging and a compacted base. For lakefront or erosion-prone spots, larger angular stone or riprap is usually better than loose decorative gravel.
A 100 ft x 12 ft area at 3 inches deep is about 11.1 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 14 to 15 tons of typical crushed stone. We recommend ordering at least 15 tons and adding 5 to 10% extra (about 16 to 17 tons) to allow for compaction and grading. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and our calculator can give a precise recommendation for your chosen material.
Yes — crushed limestone, pea gravel, and screenings are commonly available from suppliers serving Henderson County and Gun Barrel City. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and hauling partners and will show which products are available to your zip code during checkout. If a particular material is scarce, our team can suggest close alternatives that match appearance and performance.
Installation costs depend on site prep, drainage work, and whether geotextile fabric is used; in this region expect installed prices roughly $2 to $6 per square foot. For a 100 ft x 12 ft driveway (1,200 sq ft) that translates to about $2,400 to $7,200, with the wide range reflecting differences in excavation, base material, and contractor rates. Get local contractor bids and ask for line-item pricing for grading, fabric, base stone, finish gravel, and compaction.
Gravel can help with surface drainage, but for lakefront erosion control at Cedar Creek Lake you’ll usually need larger, angular rock or engineered riprap and proper shoreline stabilization. Loose decorative gravel alone can wash away on sloped or wave-exposed banks. Consult local contractors or conservation authorities to match material size and anchoring methods to your shoreline conditions.
Choose crushed stone when you need a stable, compacted walking surface or driveway; it locks together and handles rain well. Pea gravel is attractive and comfortable for patios but will move unless installed over a compacted base with edging and possibly polymeric stabilizers. Recycled gravel can be a budget-friendly choice but may vary in size and cleanliness, so inspect samples or order a small trial delivery first.
A gravel driveway properly installed with a compacted base can last 10 to 25 years, but it needs periodic maintenance like regrading, topping off, and compaction. Budget for small top-up deliveries every 3 to 5 years (often 1 to 3 tons) and occasional weed control, plus repairs after heavy rains. Regular edging and keeping drainage channels clear will greatly extend the life of the surface.
Gravel is the most affordable upfront option and offers good drainage, but it requires more ongoing maintenance and may need topping every few years. Asphalt and concrete cost more initially but provide smoother, longer-lasting surfaces with lower routine upkeep; concrete lasts longest but is the most expensive. Choose gravel if budget and permeability are priorities; choose asphalt or concrete if you want lower maintenance and a more permanent surface.
Permit and HOA rules vary: some neighborhoods and HOAs restrict surface materials or require approval, while the city may have ordinances about driveway connections and drainage. Check with the City of Gun Barrel City and your HOA before ordering materials. Many local contractors in Henderson County have experience with gravel driveways and shoreline projects; ask for local references and examples of work in similar conditions.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
