Why Lake Dallas Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lake Dallas, with a population of 12,700, is part of the fast-growing Dallas-Fort Worth region (metro population 2.7+ million) and has seen steady development driven by a 1.35% annual growth rate. The city’s climate—characterized by 228/year sunny days and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in Hardiness Zone 8b—creates year-round demand for outdoor improvements. Homeowners in Lake Dallas are investing in durable driveways, low-maintenance landscaping, erosion control, and drainage upgrades as lots are developed and yards are reworked. That rising construction and renovation activity makes reliable access to quality aggregates essential: properly graded gravel improves drainage, reduces mud and washouts after storms, and creates solid base layers for patios, walkways, and drives. Gravel performs well in Lake Dallas’s mix of sun and seasonal rain because it promotes fast surface drainage and resists compaction under vehicle traffic when properly installed. Pea gravel and 3/4" crushed stone are common choices for walkways and decorative beds, while larger, angular crushed gravel provides a stable base for driveways and retaining areas that see runoff. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers who source materials that match regional geology, schedules deliveries with professional dump trucks, and offers guidance on quantities and delivery timing so projects get the right gravel delivered when you need it.Popular Projects in Lake Dallas This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lake Dallas gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lake Dallas.
For a waterfront yard near Lake Lewisville, rounded river rock or pea gravel (1/4" to 1" sizes) gives a natural look and drains well, while larger 1" to 2" river stones work for edging and erosion control. Local suppliers often offer tan, gray, and brown tones that match area landscaping; note that color and texture vary by region. Add color preferences in your Order Notes at checkout to help your supplier match what you want.
Both types are used locally. River rock and rounded stones are natural and common near Lake Lewisville, while crushed stone (manufactured) like crushed limestone or granite is often used for driveways and bases because it compacts better. Suppliers in the DFW area source regionally, so expect some variation in appearance.
For most Lake Dallas driveways, a compacted base of crushed stone (3/4" minus or crusher-run) topped with 3/4" crushed rock is standard: plan on 4" to 6" compacted for cars and 6" to 8" for heavier trucks. Crushed stone locks together and holds up to Texas storms and heavy use better than pea gravel. Order at least the minimum (3 tons) and ask us for a contractor-grade mix if you need compaction.
Yes, changing shoreline materials can alter habitat and local water quality if not done carefully. Avoid dumping fines or contaminated material, and check with the Lake Lewisville management and city permits before altering the shore; simple paths and small decorative beds usually have fewer hurdles than major shoreline fills. Use clean, inert stone and avoid blocking native vegetation that supports fish and birds.
Washed gravel removes fines and dust and is a better choice for patios, walkways, and areas where dust is a concern in the summer heat. Unwashed or 'crusher-run' material is cheaper and compacts well for base layers but can create dust and leave residue. If you want a cleaner finish, request washed material in the Order Notes.
Gravel is generally not ideal for barefoot swim entries because most sizes are uncomfortable and can shift underfoot; sand or engineered beach mix is usually preferred for swimming access. Gravel can work for paths down to the water or above the high-water line, but always check local rules if you plan to modify a public shoreline. For private properties, use rounded pea gravel for gentler footing if you must use stone.
Avoid placing gravel in low-lying or poorly drained areas where water pools, since gravel can wash away or trap moisture against structures. Also avoid floodways, drainage easements, and shoreline setback zones that may be subject to local restrictions. If you are unsure, contact the City of Lake Dallas planning or our support team before ordering.
You may need permits for shoreline work, especially if you're changing grades or adding material below the high-water line; rules are administered by local agencies and lake authorities. For work on private yards above the shoreline, city or county rules may still apply. Hello Gravel can deliver the material, but we do not manage permitting—check with the City of Lake Dallas and the North Texas Municipal Water District before you start.
Use this simple method: multiply length x width x depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to convert to tons (density varies by material). For example, a 20 ft by 30 ft driveway at 4" depth is about 8.9 cubic yards, roughly 11.5 tons. You can also use our online material calculator or contact our team for a quick quote.
For drainage, open-graded rock like 3/4" clean stone or pea gravel works well because it lets water pass through while resisting clogging. Use larger stone (1" to 2") for French drain rock and a finer, washed stone for top dressing if you need a neat appearance. Always include a geotextile fabric where soil migration could cause clogging.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST, but heavy rains, storms, or municipal closures can delay deliveries. Park and shoreline closures can also affect where drivers can dump material, so schedule with extra lead time during storm season or public events. We will notify you of any supplier or truck-specific delays once your order is confirmed.
Prices vary by rock type, color, and delivery distance; in the DFW area delivered bulk gravel commonly ranges from about $40 to $100 per ton depending on material and services. Exact prices depend on availability and haul distance—use our Get a Quote tool or contact our sales team to see current, transparent pricing for your zip code. Remember minimums and any optional services like tailgate spreading when budgeting.
For pavers and patios, plan on a compacted base of 4" to 6" of crushed stone (3/4" minus) plus a 1" bedding sand layer for pavers. Increase to 6" to 8" for driveways or areas with vehicle traffic. Compaction and proper edge restraint are key to preventing shifting in our local freeze-free but storm-prone climate.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, size, and texture will vary and may not match photos exactly. We recommend adding color or texture preferences in the Order Notes, and you can request a specific supplier sample or ask our team to suggest the closest match available in the Lake Dallas area. Photos are illustrative; expect natural variation.
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.
