Gravel: Heat-Ready Erosion Control For Live Oak • Next-Day Gravel Delivery In Live Oak
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 Live Oak Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Live Oak is a growing West Texas community of 16,377 residents, benefiting from steady development at a 1.00% annual growth rate. With 228 sunny days per year and 32.91 inches of rainfall, the local climate supports year‑round outdoor projects while still requiring materials that handle occasional heavy storms; the area's hardiness zone (9a) also favors durable landscaping choices. As part of a metro area of 2.5+ million, Live Oak sees steady construction and renovation activity—driveways, patios, drainage upgrades, and erosion control—which increases demand for reliable aggregates. Homeowners want gravel that stabilizes surfaces, improves drainage, and reduces maintenance compared with loose soil or thin topsoil cover.Popular Projects in Live Oak This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Live Oak gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Live Oak.
Per-ton pricing for gravel in Live Oak varies by material type (crushed limestone, pea gravel, etc.) and local supplier. Hello Gravel shows current per-ton prices and delivery fees at checkout for your zip code; our minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is typically scheduled 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; delivery charges depend on distance and truck access.
In West Texas climates, angular crushed limestone or crushed stone (3/4" to 1") and crushed concrete are top choices because they lock together and resist drifting in wind. Pea gravel and river rock look nice but tend to move and rut under vehicle traffic, especially in dry, loose soils. Choose a coarser base layer (3/4" minus) with a finer top wearing layer for best stability.
Hot, dry conditions make surfaces dusty and loose while heavy summer storms can wash out low spots and move material downhill. Drought can compact fines and reduce vegetation that otherwise helps hold edges, increasing erosion risk. Proper compaction, good drainage, and periodic regrading reduce dust, washouts, and rutting.
Use these rough estimates based on typical gravel density and compaction: 2" depth ≈ 115 sq ft per ton, 3" ≈ 77 sq ft per ton, 4" ≈ 58 sq ft per ton, 6" ≈ 39 sq ft per ton. Actual coverage varies by gravel type, compaction, and base prep, so order 5-10% extra for waste and settling. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a project-specific estimate.
For typical residential driveways, plan on light maintenance (raking and filling ruts) annually and adding 1/2" to 1" of new gravel every 2-4 years depending on traffic. Heavy-use driveways or those exposed to runoff may need more frequent topping and grading after storm season. Regrading and adding fresh material after major storms will extend the driveway's useful life.
Gravel is usually the lowest initial cost, provides the best natural drainage, but requires regular maintenance and periodic topping. Crushed concrete performs similarly to gravel for cost and drainage and is a sustainable option when available locally. Asphalt costs more up front and is more durable with less frequent maintenance, but it is less permeable and may need professional installation.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. We connect you with trusted local suppliers and haulers, so materials are sourced regionally and reflect local geology. Delivery radius and fees depend on the supplier serving your zip code; check availability and exact delivery details at checkout.
For erosion control on slopes use larger, angular crushed stone or riprap (1" to 3"+ depending on slope severity) and avoid small round gravels that wash away. Combine rock with geotextile fabric, terracing, check dams, and vegetated swales to slow runoff. For concentrated flows install properly sized drainage channels or French drains to protect downhill areas.
DIY can save money if you have the equipment and experience for grading, compaction, and drainage work; ordering materials only from Hello Gravel is common for homeowner installs. Contractor bids include labor, equipment, grading, and site prep, which often equals or exceeds material costs depending on scope. Get quotes from local contractors and compare them to material-only costs to decide which fits your budget and timeline.
Regulations vary by city, county, and HOA, so check with the City of Live Oak planning or your homeowner association before installing gravel in visible front-yard areas or altering driveways. Some HOAs or municipal codes have color, material, drainage, or setback rules and may require permits for driveway changes. Contact local authorities early to avoid rework or fines.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request spreading at checkout but this service is not guaranteed. Drivers typically do not perform compaction; plan to rent or hire a plate compactor or roller for proper consolidation, especially for driveways. Always note access constraints in Order Notes so the hauler can prepare appropriate equipment.
Slope finished surfaces away from foundations with at least 1% to 2% grade where possible, and keep a gravel-free perimeter or install a drainage swale alongside the house. Use a 4" to 6" compacted base of crushed stone under driveways and consider French drains or subsurface pipes in areas with concentrated runoff. Proper grading and erosion controls help prevent washouts during West Texas storm events.
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.
