Gravel: Drainage Built For Llano Climate • Choose Your Gravel Delivery Date
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 Llano Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Llano, Texas, has a city population of 5,860 and sits within a West Texas metro area of 2.5+ million, a region growing at a rate of 0.73% annually. With 225/year sunny days, 32.16 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, Llano homeowners are working in a climate that favors drought-tolerant landscaping but still sees enough rain to demand good drainage. That combination—steady growth, active home improvements, and a sun-forward climate—drives demand for dependable aggregates. Homeowners choose quality gravel to stabilize driveways and walkways, improve surface drainage, reduce mud and erosion, and create low-maintenance landscapes that suit the local environment and reflect the area’s geology.Popular Projects in Llano This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Llano gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Llano.
Prices vary by material, truck size, and haul distance, but expect a delivered tri-axle load (roughly 10-12 cubic yards or 12-16 tons) to commonly fall in the range of $400 to $900 in the Llano area. Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons, so smaller projects often cost proportionally less but may still have a delivery fee. Check your zip code on our site for an exact quote and available local suppliers.
For a 20-foot long driveway 10 feet wide at a 3-inch depth you need about 1.8 cubic yards (roughly 2 cubic yards or ~2.8 tons). If you plan a proper base (4-6 inches crushed stone plus 2-3 inches of top gravel) order closer to 4-6 cubic yards depending on base depth. Delivery costs depend on material and distance, but small orders to Llano commonly add $50 to $250; get a live quote on Hello Gravel to see exact pricing for your zip code.
No, 2 inches is usually not enough for a lasting driveway in West Texas. We recommend a compacted base of 4-6 inches of crushed stone or road base plus a 2-3 inch wearing layer of 3/4-inch gravel or similar; this helps control rutting, drainage, and the region's seasonal soil movement. In Llano's Hill Country soils, a good base and compaction are especially important to prevent washouts during heavy rains.
For a durable driveway, a combination works best: use G1 or crusher-run (a mix of fines and angular stone) compacted for the base, then a 3/4-inch crushed stone as the wearing surface. G1/crusher-run locks together when compacted and provides a stable base, while 3/4-inch offers good traction and drainage. Local suppliers around Llano often carry granite-based crushed stone that performs well in the Hill Country.
For patios and seating areas consider decomposed granite or 3/8-inch pea gravel for a comfortable, attractive surface; decomposed granite compacts well and has a natural look that suits Llano's Hill Country. For garden beds or paths, 1/2- to 3/4-inch decorative gravel gives good drainage and low maintenance. Keep in mind color and texture vary by regional sourcing, so request photos or samples when ordering.
There are stabilized gravel systems—polymer-modified mixes, resin-bound aggregates, and well-graded crusher-run compacted with a binding agent—that form a firmer surface than loose gravel. These products can significantly reduce shifting and dust but are not the same as poured concrete and have different load and maintenance characteristics. Talk to local suppliers about load requirements, permeability, and installation methods to pick the right product for vehicle traffic in Llano.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and covers about 324 sq ft at 1-inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2-inch depth, and roughly 108 sq ft at 3-inch depth. A 50 lb bag of gravel is about 0.0185 cubic yards, so you need around 54 of the 50 lb bags to equal 1 cubic yard. Bulk delivery is usually much more cost-effective than buying many individual bags for projects in Llano.
Putting gravel directly on native soil is possible for short-term or decorative uses, but for driveways and high-traffic areas we strongly recommend a compacted crushed-stone base and geotextile fabric to prevent mixing, rutting, and washout. In Llano's varied soils and Hill Country slopes, fabric plus a 4-6 inch base and a 2-3 inch top layer will give much longer-lasting results. Ask your driver about tailgate spreading at checkout and note that spreading is at the driver's discretion.
For most landscaping and driveway projects, bulk delivery is the most cost-effective option per ton once you exceed small quantities; Hello Gravel's network often provides free or low-fee delivery in many areas. Pickup can work for very small jobs if you have a suitable truck and time, while 50 lb bags are the most expensive option per cubic yard and best only for tiny projects or retail locations without bulk access. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so compare total cost including delivery before deciding.
