Why Lovelady Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lovelady has a city population of 2,230 and sits within a growing West Texas metro area of 2.5+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 1.05% annually, local demand for driveway repairs, yard upgrades, and small construction projects is steady as homeowners adapt properties to a semi‑arid landscape. The climate in Lovelady — about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b — means materials must tolerate intense sun, occasional heavy rain, and soils that can shift between dry and wet seasons. Homeowners look for aggregates that provide reliable drainage, durable surfaces, and low long‑term maintenance; locally sourced gravel checks these boxes while matching regional color and texture. Gravel is especially well suited to Lovelady’s conditions: angular crushed mixes lock together for stable drive surfaces and help channel rainwater away from foundations, while rounded river gravel creates attractive, low‑maintenance walkways and garden accents. Properly chosen gravel reduces erosion on slopes and stands up to the high sun exposure common in the area. Hello Gravel simplifies sourcing by connecting you with local suppliers and dump‑truck delivery, letting you pick the right gravel for your project, schedule delivery online, and get expert guidance from our team when you need it.Popular Projects in Lovelady This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lovelady gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lovelady.
Delivered gravel to Lovelady typically ranges from about $30 to $70 per ton, which works out to roughly $40 to $90 per cubic yard depending on the material, local supplier, and haul distance. Prices vary with material type (pea gravel vs crushed stone), truck access, and whether you need spreading or other services. For an exact price, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote.
Common options around Lovelady include crushed limestone (good all-purpose stone), crusher-run/dense-grade aggregate, pea gravel, caliche (regional in parts of Texas), and river rock. Typical delivered price ranges are: crushed limestone $25–$45/ton, crusher-run $20–$40/ton, pea gravel $35–$70/ton, caliche $15–$35/ton, and river rock $40–$80/ton; local geology and supplier inventory affect final pricing.
Typical recommendations: walkways 1–2 inches of compacted decorative gravel over a fabric base; driveways 3–4 inches of surface gravel over a 4–6 inch compacted base of crusher-run or roadbase; parking pads or driveways with heavy loads may need 6–8 inches of base plus a 2–3 inch wearing layer. Always prepare a compacted subbase and consider a geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with native soil in Loveladys soils and seasonal rains.
Use these rough figures: one cubic yard covers 81 square feet at 1 inch depth and weighs about 1.2–1.4 tons (use 1.3 tons/yd3 as a rule of thumb). Example: a 12 ft x 50 ft driveway (600 sq ft) at a 3 inch surface depth needs about 5.6 cubic yards or ~7.5 tons. For accuracy, use Hello Gravels material calculator or request a quote with your exact dimensions.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve the Lovelady area; available quarries and truck fleets depend on your zip code. Our platform requires a minimum order of 3 tons, but some suppliers or rural deliveries may have larger truck or minimum-load requirements (commonly 5–10 tons) depending on distance and access. Enter your address on the site or contact our team to see which suppliers will deliver to your property.
For Lovelady, a compactable mix such as crusher-run or 3/4" crushed stone with a compacted base is usually best because it locks together and resists rutting after rain. Caliche can be economical locally but may soften under heavy standing water; pea gravel looks nice but shifts and can rut under vehicle traffic. Choose a compactable base and proper drainage to get the most life out of any surface in this climate.
Expect to do light maintenance (raking, filling small potholes) every year and a more thorough top-up or regrading every 1–3 years depending on traffic and storm runoff. Small patch repairs can be $50–$200 for DIY or local help; professional regrading and compaction for a typical driveway in the Lovelady area commonly runs $200–$800 depending on size and access. Keeping edges restrained and drainage clear will reduce frequency and cost.
Crushed gravel (crushed stone or crusher-run) compacts well and offers the best durability and load-bearing for driveways at a moderate cost. Pea gravel provides a smooth look but shifts and requires edging and more frequent replenishment. Caliche is often cheaper and common in parts of Texas but can be less durable in heavy rain; it performs best with good drainage and a proper compacted base.
Installation costs vary with prep work: a simple top-dress might run $1.50–$4.00 per sq ft, while a full install with excavation, 4–6 inches of compacted base, geotextile, and finish layer commonly runs $3.00–$8.00 per sq ft. Contractors may also quote by the ton; installation labor and grading premiums usually add $10–$25 per ton on top of delivered material costs. Get a local site quote through Hello Gravel for a tailored estimate.
Regulations vary: Lovelady city limits, Houston County rules, and any HOA can have different requirements for driveway location, width, drainage, and materials. Before you start, check with the City of Lovelady or Houston County permitting office and review any HOA covenants; if in doubt, our team can suggest common contacts and next steps. Compliance with drainage and erosion rules is especially important in areas with runoff concerns.
Effective measures include proper grading and crowning of driveways to shed water, geotextile fabric under the aggregate to separate soil and stone, firm edging (timber, concrete, or metal) to keep material in place, and installing culverts or French drains where runoff concentrates. These steps help prevent washouts during heavy rains common to Texas and reduce the need for frequent repairs.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
