Why Lakewood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lakewood is a fast-growing West Texas city with a population of 993,588, located inside a metro area of 2.7+ million residents. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, 228 sunny days a year, average rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local landscaping and construction projects lean on durable, low-maintenance materials. Homeowners in Lakewood face heat, occasional heavy rains, and soils that benefit from stable surface cover and good drainage. That drives demand for quality aggregates like gravel for driveways, drainage swales, patio bases, and xeriscape beds. Gravel helps prevent erosion, reduces mud after storms, and creates long-lasting surfaces that match West Texas design and climate needs, so buyers prioritize material consistency and reliable delivery when planning projects. Gravel is particularly well suited to Lakewood’s climate: it sheds water, resists sun-driven breakdown, and stabilizes sandy or clay soils common in the region. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and trusted haulers to source regionally appropriate gravel, provides transparent pricing, and offers scheduled delivery (standard 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST). We handle coordination from order to drop-off, so Lakewood homeowners can get the right gravel delivered on their schedule and move projects forward with less hassle.Popular Projects in Lakewood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lakewood gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lakewood.
Buying in bulk by the ton is usually the most cost-effective option in Lakewood. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers so you can order the minimum 3 tons and avoid higher per-unit costs of small bags. Compare common types (road base vs decorative pea gravel) and request a quote to see the best price for your project and delivery distance.
Generally you do not need sand under loose gravel unless you are installing pavers or creating a compacted walking surface. For driveways and paths in Lakewood's clay soils, a compacted base of crushed rock or road base with geotextile fabric is a better choice to prevent sinking and rutting. Sand can be used as a leveling layer for pavers, but it washes out more easily in heavy West Texas rains.
For patios and pathways, pea gravel or 3/8" decorative gravel works well because it is comfortable underfoot and drains quickly. For driveways or heavy-traffic areas, 3/4" to 1" crushed stone or crusher run provides better stability and compaction. Regional color and texture vary in West Texas, so request photos from your local supplier if appearance matters.
Pea gravel is often priced similarly to other decorative gravels but can be more expensive than basic road base or recycled crushed material. Price depends on local availability and demand in the Lakewood area. The fastest way to know is to request a quote through Hello Gravel for the exact material you want.
Per-ton prices in Lakewood vary by material type, season, and hauling distance, so costs change frequently. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing and delivery estimates for your zip code; contact us for a current per-ton quote. Note that tri-axle trucks commonly deliver 10 to 12 tons, and our minimum order is 3 tons.
Coverage depends on depth: one ton of typical gravel covers roughly 80 to 100 sq ft at 1" depth, about 30 to 40 sq ft at 3" depth. Actual coverage varies with stone size and compaction, so use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a project-specific estimate. Always round up a bit to account for settling and uneven areas.
Costs depend on width, depth, and material. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) at a recommended 3" depth needs about 1.85 cubic yards (roughly 2.8 tons), but Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons so you would order 3 tons. Contact Hello Gravel for a local price per ton and delivery fee—prices vary by material and distance.
You can place gravel directly on dirt, but without prep it often shifts, sinks, or weeds will come through—especially in Lakewood's clay soils. For longer-lasting results remove vegetation, grade and compact the subgrade, install geotextile fabric, and add a compacted base layer before topping with finish gravel. Proper prep reduces maintenance and helps with drainage during heavy Texas storms.
Recommended depths: 2" for decorative beds and walking paths, 3" for light-use patios, and 3" to 6" for driveways depending on traffic. Heavier vehicle use or poor subgrade (common on parts of Lakewood) may require a thicker base and more compactable material. Always plan for compaction and some settling over time.
A 50 lb bag of gravel is about 0.018 cubic yards and covers roughly 6 sq ft at a 1" depth or about 3 sq ft at a 2" depth. For larger projects in Lakewood, bulk delivery by the ton is more economical and easier to place than many small bags. Use these bag estimates only for very small patch jobs or sample areas.
Gravel that contains fines and crushable particles, such as crusher run or road base, compacts very tightly and can form a firm surface similar to a stiff base. For an actual hard, concrete-like surface you need stabilization—either adding a binding agent (cement or polymer stabilizer) or using a concrete or permeable paver system. Talk to your Hello Gravel supplier about stabilized mixes available in the Lakewood area if you need a firm, long-lasting surface.
Gravel can help reduce moisture and limit hiding places for some pests near foundations, but it is not a guaranteed pest barrier. In West Texas you should still manage moisture, avoid piling gravel against wood foundations or tree trunks, and follow pest-control best practices. If pest prevention is a priority, combine gravel with proper drainage and professional advice.
Avoid pea gravel on slopes, in high-traffic driveways, or where wheelchair accessibility is required because it shifts underfoot and under tires. Pea gravel also does not compact well for driveways and can migrate into lawn or garden beds during heavy rain common in West Texas. Choose crushed stone or crusher run for stability when you need a firm surface.
The "3-3-3" phrase is typically a mulch guideline rather than a gravel rule; it often means keeping mulch shallow (about 3 inches) and away from plant stems or trunks. For gravel, the important practices are different: keep gravel a few inches away from tree trunks and foundations, ensure proper depth for the intended use, and provide drainage. If you're switching from mulch to gravel in Lakewood, leave a small gap at trunks and use fabric beneath gravel to protect roots and reduce weeds.
At 2" depth, 200 sq ft requires about 1.23 cubic yards (roughly 1.9 tons); at 3" depth it needs about 1.85 cubic yards (roughly 2.8 tons). Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so you would order 3 tons if you want delivery, and the extra material can be used to increase depth or keep for future touch-ups. Request a local quote to confirm exact weights and delivery for your Lakewood zip code.
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.
