Gravel: Built For Lockhart's Semi-Arid Climate • Next-Day Gravel Delivery For Lockhart Projects
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 Lockhart Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lockhart, Texas, home to 18,570 residents, sits in a rapidly changing part of West Texas with a 10.90% annual growth rate. The area’s semi-arid geography — about 228 sunny days a year and 34.44 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b — drives specific landscaping and construction needs: durable surfaces, reliable drainage, and materials that tolerate heat and periodic heavy storms. As new homes, driveways, and yards expand, homeowners increasingly look for quality aggregates to stabilize slopes, form long-lasting driveways, create low-maintenance paths, and improve drainage around foundations. Consistent gradation, good compaction, and local sourcing matter here because they affect longevity, dust control, and how well materials perform under Lockhart’s sun, occasional downpours, and alkaline soils.Popular Projects in Lockhart This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lockhart gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lockhart.
Typical delivered prices for common gravels in Lockhart vary, but expect roughly $30 to $70 per ton depending on the gravel type, distance from the quarry, and supplier. Decorative gravels and specialty colors are usually at the higher end; basic crushed stone or recycled material is usually cheaper. Get an exact quote for your zip code through Hello Gravel to see final material and delivery fees.
Crushed limestone or crusher-run (a mix of stone and fines) are common choices because they compact well and form a stable surface over clay soils. Start with a compacted base of larger stone and finish with a 3/4" top layer to improve drainage and reduce shifting. Pea gravel looks nice but tends to migrate on clay and needs strong edging if used.
For a 20x20 driveway (400 sq ft), a 3" layer requires about 5 tons of gravel and a 4" layer about 6.5 to 7 tons. Suppliers often sell by cubic yard, where 1 cubic yard is roughly 27 cubic feet and equates to about 1.35 tons, so you can convert between cubic yards and tons when ordering. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so plan accordingly.
Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers serving the Lockhart area, so the fastest way to find delivery and installation is to check availability on our site or call our team. Many local landscape contractors and driveway specialists in Lockhart offer base preparation, grading, and compaction—ask for references and photos of past work when requesting quotes. If you prefer to find contractors directly, check local business listings and reviews and confirm they handle material deliveries.
Stone itself is largely unaffected by heat, so gravel holds up well in Lockhart summers; the main issues are settling and fines baking into a crust on top layers. Heavy rain can cause washouts and ruts if the driveway lacks a proper compacted base, crown, and drainage features. With correct base prep, edging, and routine maintenance (adding and grading a bit of material every few years), gravel driveways perform well in this climate.
Crushed limestone compacts tightly and is a strong, affordable option for driveways in clay soils, offering good traction and low movement. Pea gravel is decorative and comfortable for walkways but shifts easily and is less suitable for driveways without solid edging and frequent maintenance. Recycled concrete is typically cost-effective and compacts well, but color and particle shape can vary by batch, so inspect samples before ordering.
Permit and HOA requirements vary: many private driveway resurfacing projects do not need a city permit, but curb cuts, new aprons, or changes to stormwater flow may require approval from the City of Lockhart or Caldwell County. If you live in an HOA, check its rules for surfacing materials and appearance before ordering. We recommend contacting the Lockhart building or public works department and your HOA (if applicable) before starting work.
A basic cost breakdown usually includes material (often $30 to $70 per ton for delivered gravel), delivery fees if applicable, base preparation (grading, removal, and compacting) which can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on scope, and compaction/edging labor or equipment rental. Decorative materials, stormwater work, or difficult site access will raise costs, so get itemized quotes for a clear comparison. Contact Hello Gravel for material-only pricing and local contractors for installation estimates.
Use a compacted base layer, install a slight crown so water sheds to the sides, and add geotextile fabric under the base to separate soil from stone. Install sturdy edging (concrete, timber, or metal) and consider swales, culverts, or French drains where runoff concentrates. Replenish worn areas seasonally and repair ruts quickly to prevent larger washouts.
Seasonal demand, quarry schedules, and weather can affect availability and price—summer and spring are busy for landscaping projects, while heavy rain can delay deliveries and increase erosion risks. Hello Gravel typically offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day delivery if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee; plan at least 1 to 2 weeks ahead for larger projects or specialty materials. Always confirm availability for your zip code and request a firm quote before scheduling.

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.
