Gravel: Heat-Tolerant Drainage For Lakehills • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Available Locally
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.
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.

Why Lakehills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lakehills (city population 125,000) sits within a rapidly growing West Texas metro (metro area population 2.5+ million) expanding at 2.20% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners face a mix of intense sun and episodic heavy rain that shapes soil behavior and drainage needs. That steady growth fuels demand for residential and commercial projects—new driveways, patio bases, erosion control, and xeriscape borders—all of which rely on quality aggregates. Gravel is a practical, low-maintenance material that stabilizes surfaces, promotes drainage, and complements local landscaping, so Lakehills homeowners and contractors both prioritize dependable supply and materials suited to the region's geology and climate. Locally sourced gravel performs well in Lakehills because angular particles shed water during heavy downpours and resist movement in sunny, dry periods. Different gravel types—crushed stone, pea gravel, and river rock—serve distinct uses from patios and pathways to base layers and drainage trenches, so matching size and shape to the job matters. Hello Gravel simplifies sourcing by connecting you with trusted local suppliers and professional dump truck delivery, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery dates, and regional material options that reflect Lakehills' geology. Order online, check availability for your zip code, and our team can help you pick the gravel best suited to local conditions and your project goals.Popular Projects in Lakehills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lakehills gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lakehills.
Gravel prices in the Lakehills area commonly range by type from about $25 to $60 per ton, with crushed limestone and road base at the lower end and specialty or colored gravels at the higher end. Final price depends on material type, delivery distance, and whether you need spreading; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers online quotes so you can see local pricing for your zip code.
For Lakehills' hot, semi-arid climate, angular crushed limestone or caliche are popular for driveways because they lock together and resist rutting; decomposed granite is a good option for walkways and low-traffic paths for a natural look. Pea gravel and river rock are decorative and drain well but can shift under vehicle traffic, so they are better for walkways or accent areas than main drive lanes.
A quick rule: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons. For a 10x30 driveway (300 sq ft) at 3" depth you need roughly 3.9 tons; at 2" depth about 2.6 tons. For a 12x40 driveway (480 sq ft) at 3" depth you need about 6.2 tons; at 4" (better for a base) expect about 8.3 tons.
Hello Gravel coordinates delivery by local dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle) with a 3-ton minimum order; many areas qualify for free standard delivery and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for a fee. Drivers may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and may incur an extra charge.
High heat and drought can dry out fine materials and reduce binding, while intense rains can cause washouts, rutting, and loss of fines from the surface. Proper compaction, a well-graded base, crown for drainage, and periodic top-ups help reduce weather damage in Lakehills' climate.
Expect light maintenance like raking and filling washouts every 6-12 months, with regrading or fresh top dressing (1-2 inches) every 2-4 years depending on traffic and storms. Costs vary with access and material needs, but small maintenance jobs are often a few hundred dollars while larger regrades or adding several tons can run into the low thousands; get a local quote for precise pricing.
On slopes use larger, angular stone for surface protection and channel bottoms (for example 1-2" crushed rock), install geotextile fabric under the material, and add check dams or contour terraces to slow runoff. Combining gravel with vegetation, edge restraints, and proper drainage outlets will greatly reduce erosion risk in Lakehills' seasonal heavy-rain events.
Permit and HOA rules vary by location—rural Bandera County areas often allow gravel driveways, while subdivisions or HOAs around Lakehills may have restrictions on surface material, color, or drainage. Check county permitting (or your HOA guidelines) before ordering gravel so you can meet any requirements or drainage standards.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is easiest to repair, but it requires more ongoing maintenance and periodic top-ups; asphalt costs more initially and holds up better with less frequent maintenance. Pavers are the most expensive to install but offer low long-term maintenance and a finished look; choose based on budget, traffic, and how much maintenance you want.
Local pricing is commonly quoted per ton or per cubic yard for delivered material, with separate line items for hauling and optional spreading labor charged by the hour or as a flat fee. Hello Gravel displays per-ton pricing with a 3-ton minimum and will show delivery options and any spreading fees during checkout so you can compare line-item costs before you buy.
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.
