Frequently Asked Questions - New Braunfels gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in New Braunfels.
Standard delivery in the New Braunfels area is typically 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Per-ton prices vary by material and season, but you can expect roughly $25 to $60 per ton for common driveway/base gravels and $50 to $100+ per ton for decorative river rock; final price depends on product, distance, and truck access. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and often includes free delivery in many areas—check your zip code at checkout for exact pricing and delivery fees.
For Central Texas, crushed limestone is a popular choice because it compacts well, resists dust, and matches local color palettes. Crushed granite is a good option for a more decorative, warm-toned look and provides decent drainage, while river rock is best reserved for accents or low-traffic areas because it tends to roll under vehicle traffic. Choose material based on function: compaction and stability for driveways, and appearance and drainage for landscaping beds.
Crushed limestone is usually the best all-around driveway choice in New Braunfels because it locks together when compacted and stands up to Texas heat and heavy rain. Crushed granite can work well too, especially for low-to-moderate traffic drives where aesthetics matter, but it may require more edging to keep it in place. River rock looks attractive but is not ideal for driveways since stones tend to shift and can create ruts.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and hauling partners in the New Braunfels and San Antonio-New Braunfels metro area to deliver bulk material. For installation, we recommend checking local landscape contractors’ reviews and asking for references and photos of past gravel driveways or hardscaping; if you need help finding installers, contact our team and we can point you to local pros.
A typical 1-car driveway (about 12 ft by 20 ft) at 3 inches depth needs roughly 2.2 cubic yards, which is about 2.8 to 3.0 tons—this aligns with Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum. A 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 20 ft) at 3 inches depth needs about 3.7 cubic yards, or roughly 4.5 to 5.0 tons. If you plan a thicker base (3–4 inches) or heavier traffic, plan on adding 25%–50% more material; use our online material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate.
Gravel itself handles Texas heat without degrading, but extreme sun and thermal cycling can reduce binders or fines used to help compaction over time. Heavy rain and occasional flash flooding in parts of the New Braunfels area can wash or move surface gravel if drainage is poor, so installing proper grading, swales, or perimeter edging is important. For properties in known flood-prone spots, avoid relying on loose gravel as the only surface and consult a contractor about erosion controls or engineered base layers.
Plan on light maintenance—raking, topping up, and regrading—every 1 to 3 years depending on usage and storm exposure; high-traffic drives may need attention more often. After heavy rains or flooding events, check for washouts and add material where ruts form. Regular edging, occasional compaction, and replacing displaced material will keep the surface stable and reduce long-term costs.
Deliveries are typically made by contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle) and Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons. You can select a delivery date at checkout; standard service is 2+ business days and next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST with an added fee. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it in your order notes but note that spreading cannot be guaranteed and depends on site access and safety.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, color and texture will reflect regional geology and may vary from online photos; you can add color preferences in Order Notes to help suppliers match your needs. If appearance is critical, ask for photos of the actual load before delivery or request a sample delivery to confirm. For performance, specify the use (driveway, path, drainage) when ordering so suppliers can recommend the appropriate size and blend.
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.
