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 Lubbock Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lubbock, with a city population of 232,385 and a metro area population of 321,000, sits on the high plains and is seeing steady development as it grows at 0.90% annually. Homeowners and contractors in this region face a distinct set of demands: long, sunny stretches (268 sunny days per year), relatively low rainfall (19.00 inches annually), and a climate suited to USDA hardiness zone 7a. Those conditions drive interest in durable, low-maintenance landscaping and reliable base materials for driveways, patios, and drainage projects. Quality gravel is a go-to choice because it resists erosion, promotes drainage, and holds up under the region’s sun and soil conditions. Hello Gravel simplifies getting that material—online ordering connected to local suppliers, transparent pricing, a 3-ton minimum order, and scheduled dump-truck delivery make it easier to plan and complete projects on time.Popular Projects in Lubbock This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lubbock gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lubbock.
A typical tri-axle dump truck that serves Lubbock carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. Prices depend on material type, delivery distance, and supplier; Hello Gravel provides an exact delivered price for your zip code when you request a quote. Contact our team or use the online checkout to see firm pricing for your address.
One ton of gravel is roughly 0.77 cubic yards and will cover about 125 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. Coverage can vary by gravel size and how tightly it compacts, so use this as a general guide and check our material calculator for more precise estimates.
Buying bulk delivered gravel through a platform like Hello Gravel is usually cheaper than buying bagged material. Choose larger loads, compare local suppliers, and consider common local materials such as crushed caliche or recycled concrete for lower per-ton costs. Request a quote to compare delivered prices for your address in Lubbock.
Costs vary by material type, but common construction-grade sand and basic crushed gravel are often similar in price when delivered. Decorative gravels and specialty sands cost more; for projects where price matters, compare delivered per-ton rates in your zip code using Hello Gravel to pick the best value.
Cost depends on width, depth, and material. For example, a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 2 inches deep needs about 8 tons of gravel; multiply the tonnage by your quoted per-ton price and add any spreading or site-prep fees. Get a personalized estimate through our checkout to factor in local material choices and delivery.
For a functional driveway, 2 inches is usually too thin—it is most appropriate only as a light top dressing. For regular vehicle traffic, aim for at least 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel over a properly prepared base; heavier traffic or poor subgrade soils common in West Texas may require 4 to 6 inches. Drivers in Lubbock should consider local soil and drainage when choosing depth.
A 7x14 dump trailer's capacity depends on the side height and how full you load it, but for gravel expect roughly 3 to 5 cubic yards in typical configurations. Check your trailer's rated capacity and local regulations before loading, and remember gravel weights can limit legal payload even if the box appears large.
A 10x10 area is 100 sq ft. For 1 inch of pea gravel you need about 0.3 cubic yards (roughly 0.4 tons); for 2 inches you need about 0.6 cubic yards (roughly 0.8 tons). Choose depth based on use—1 inch for a thin decorative layer, 2 inches for light foot traffic.
A properly installed gravel surface can last many years, but top layers will need periodic maintenance. Expect to add or regrade some material every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic, wind, and storm runoff; heavier use and local runoff patterns in Lubbock can accelerate movement and thinning. Regular raking, occasional replenishment, and good drainage extend its service life.
In the Lubbock area, less expensive alternatives often include crushed caliche or recycled concrete, both commonly available and used as base or surface material. These options can be more economical but may differ in appearance and drainage, so weigh cost versus desired look and performance. Ask suppliers about local options when you request a quote.
Basic crushed stone, crushed caliche, and recycled concrete tend to be the most affordable options locally, while pea gravel and decorative river rock are typically pricier. Regional sourcing affects availability and price, so check delivered per-ton pricing for your specific zip code on Hello Gravel to confirm the best value.
Gravel is almost always cheaper upfront than concrete for driveway installation, especially for large areas. However, concrete has higher initial costs and lower routine maintenance, while gravel requires periodic topping and grading. Choose based on budget, intended lifespan, and how much maintenance you are willing to perform.
Sand pricing is similar to gravel pricing in that it varies by sand type, quantity, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel will provide a delivered price for sand to your Lubbock address through the online checkout or by contacting the team; compare that against gravel prices to decide which material fits your project and budget.
It depends on the project: sand is commonly used as a bedding layer for pavers or as a leveling layer, but it is not a substitute for proper subgrade preparation under a gravel driveway. For driveways and paths, focus on a compacted base and suitable aggregate layers; use sand only where specified for pavers or drainage needs. If unsure, ask our team for guidance on your specific Lubbock site.
A 50 lb bag of pea gravel is about 0.02 cubic yards and will cover roughly 3 square feet at a 2-inch depth. Coverage changes with depth and stone size, so use bags for small accents or borders and order bulk material for larger areas through Hello Gravel.
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.
