Why Lakewood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lakewood has a population of 58,330, and a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually suggests a continuous demand for home improvements, landscape refreshes, and infill construction rather than sudden building booms. With 228 sunny days each year, 34.80 inches of average annual rainfall, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, local projects need materials that tolerate strong solar exposure while managing episodic moisture. That mix of conditions favors aggregates and soils that balance permeability and water retention, UV-stable surface materials for paths and driveways, and mulches or topsoil blends that support heat-tolerant planting. Being part of a wider metro area of 2.5+ million people also means a busy supply chain—reliable, locally sourced bulk materials help keep schedules on track and reduce the risk of rework. Lakewood's climate and soil behavior create practical performance requirements: intense sun can dry and fade surface layers, while periodic heavy rains test drainage and erosion control. Seasonal soil compaction and movement mean properly graded bases and appropriate particle-size mixes are essential for long-term stability across patios, driveways, garden beds, and grading projects. For homeowners, this translates to choosing materials based on function—drainage, support, or growing medium—rather than appearance alone. Hello Gravel simplifies that decision by connecting you with local suppliers familiar with regional geology, offering quantity guidance and scheduled delivery so you get the right materials for Lakewood's specific conditions.Popular Projects in Lakewood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lakewood Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lakewood.
Lakewood's hot, dry summers and occasional heavy storms mean you should choose materials that resist washout and fading. For projects using gravel, sand, dirt, stone, pick textures and sizes that shed water and compact well, and allow for good drainage so materials do not migrate during storms. Plan for UV exposure and seasonal temperature swings when estimating maintenance and replacement intervals.
Many West Texas yards around Lakewood have clay or clay-loam and areas with caliche or sandy pockets, which affect drainage and compaction. When working with gravel, sand, dirt, stone, prepare the native soil with proper grading and, if needed, a compacted base or geotextile to prevent mixing and sinking. Testing a small area first helps confirm how the local soil will interact with your chosen material.
Prices vary by material, availability, and distance from source, but typical delivered ranges in West Texas can be roughly $20 to $60 per ton or $25 to $85 per cubic yard for common aggregates. Final cost depends on the material type, seasonal demand, delivery distance, and any add-on services like spreading. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows transparent pricing at checkout so you can compare options.
Some Lakewood properties have narrow gates, low-hanging wires, weight limits on private drives, or tight turns that make tri-axle truck delivery difficult. For any order of gravel, sand, dirt, stone, provide delivery notes, photos of access, and gate measurements at checkout so drivers and suppliers can plan the safest drop. If access is tight, consider smaller drop-off locations or staging areas and ask our team for guidance.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. In Lakewood, plan major outdoor work for spring or fall when temperatures are milder; avoid peak summer heat for labor-intensive installs and check forecasts for stormy periods that can delay delivery. Order changes are easiest before dispatch, so schedule early and confirm timing with our team.
HOAs and the city may have rules about driveway materials, colors, width, and impervious surface limits that affect projects using gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Before ordering, check local city codes and your HOA guidelines, and get written approvals if required to avoid rework or removal. When in doubt, request documentation or a contact from your HOA to confirm allowed materials.
Maintenance and lifespan depend largely on use, base preparation, and drainage rather than the material alone; high-traffic areas need thicker bases and more frequent topping. For gravel, sand, dirt, stone, expect periodic raking, replenishing, and regrading—driveway surfaces may need topping every few years, while well-prepared beds can last longer with minimal upkeep. Good prep and proper edging reduce migration and extend service life.
Calculate volume by multiplying area by depth: 1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so for example a 1,000 sq ft area at 2 inches depth uses about 6 cubic yards. Typical guidance: landscape beds 2-3 inches, paths 2-4 inches, and driveways require a compacted base 4-6 inches plus a surface layer; convert cubic yards to tons using our material calculator or ask our team for an estimate. Hello Gravel's online calculator and sales team can help convert your measurements into tons or cubic yards and account for compaction and waste.
Prioritize grading to slope water away from structures, compacting a stable base, and installing proper drainage to handle sudden storms common in West Texas. Use a separating fabric where native soil is weak, and add edging to keep gravel, sand, dirt, stone in place; poor prep leads to settlement and migration under Texas weather extremes. If you are unsure, consult a local installer or request supplier recommendations through our platform.
Yes, Hello Gravel connects customers with local suppliers and contracted haulers, and many suppliers in the network can provide referrals or coordinate with local installers for full-service projects involving gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Availability of installation varies by supplier, so request installation quotes or ask for references when you check out. Always verify licensing, insurance, and references before hiring any installer.
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.
