Why Runaway Bay Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Runaway Bay is a small but growing West Texas community with a city population of 1,503 that sits within a broader metro of 2.5+ million. With steady growth at 0.88% annually and a climate marked by 232 sunny days per year, homeowners and local builders are increasingly tackling landscaping and driveway projects that need reliable aggregates. Annual rainfall of 32.20 inches and a hardiness zone of 7b mean yards and driveways must handle both strong sun and periodic wet spells, so materials that manage drainage and resist washout are in demand. Gravel is a common, practical choice—it stabilizes surfaces, improves drainage, and offers low-maintenance durability while reflecting the local geology and colors homeowners in Runaway Bay expect.Popular Projects in Runaway Bay This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Runaway Bay gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Runaway Bay.
Costs vary by stone type, distance from the quarry, and whether you want spreading. Typical delivered material prices in West Texas run roughly $40 to $100 per ton for common gravels; decorative or specialty blends can cost more. Tailgate spreading is charged separately or done at the driver’s discretion; spreading labor or a flat spreading fee commonly adds $75 to $300 depending on job size. For an exact price, check your zip code at checkout or call our team at 855-241-8884.
Crushed limestone (#57 or 1" minus), 3/4" crushed stone, and crush-and-run (crusher run) are good, durable choices for West Texas driveways because they compact well on clay soils. Pea gravel looks nice but shifts under vehicle traffic and is not ideal for primary driveways. For a finished surface, use a compacted crushed base with a top layer of #57 or 3/4" stone; consider geotextile fabric under the base to help separate weak clay subgrade.
A quick rule of thumb: 1 ton of typical gravel covers about 75-80 sq ft at 3" depth, about 55-60 sq ft at 4" depth, and about 35-40 sq ft at 6" depth. For example, a 12' x 40' driveway (480 sq ft) at 4" depth needs roughly 8 to 9 tons. Always round up for compaction and waste, and use our material calculator or contact sales for a precise estimate.
Hot, dry conditions increase dust and can break down finer binders, while heavy clay subsoils hold water and can lead to rutting and washouts after storms. Good drainage, a compacted crushed stone base, and fabric separation from clay help prevent sinking and potholes. Expect to regrade after heavy rains and add top dressings periodically to keep the surface stable.
Gravel surfaces can last many years if properly installed and maintained, but they require periodic upkeep: light regrading and patching yearly, and a top dressing of fresh gravel every 3 to 5 years for moderate use. Major rework such as adding a new base or regrading may be needed every 7 to 15 years depending on traffic and drainage. Budget for small annual maintenance costs and a larger refresh every few years rather than expecting a one-time installation to be permanent.
Installed cost depends on site prep, edging, depth, and materials, but basic gravel installations typically run about $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft for a simple path or patio in our service area. Driveways or areas with extensive base prep, geotextile, and edging can cost more when contractor labor is included. For a material-only estimate, calculate tons needed (see our coverage rules) and get local delivery pricing through our site.
Upfront, gravel is usually cheaper than asphalt or concrete and is easier to repair and alter. Asphalt and concrete cost more initially ($3+ and $6+ per sq ft respectively) but require less frequent topping and grading; however, on clay soils in West Texas they must be engineered for movement to avoid cracking. Choose gravel if you want lower initial cost, permeable surface, and easier future changes; choose asphalt or concrete for a smoother, lower-maintenance driving surface if budget allows and proper subgrade prep is done.
Hello Gravel partners with trusted local quarries and haulers across West Texas to supply material near Runaway Bay, with deliveries made by contracted dump truck fleets. Minimum order size is 3 tons and delivery radius and fees depend on the supplier location; many customers receive free or included delivery within a reasonable radius, but longer hauls may have a distance fee. Enter your zip code on our site or call 855-241-8884 to see available local materials and exact delivery charges.
Regulations vary by neighborhood and property: some HOAs and portions of Runaway Bay may limit front-yard gravel, colors, or driveway materials. Always check your HOA covenants and contact Runaway Bay city offices or Wise County planning before installing to confirm setback, drainage, and surfacing rules. If you have an HOA, get written approval before ordering materials to avoid rework.
Use good grading to move water away from buildings, install a geotextile fabric under the gravel, and add edge restraints, berms, or rock-lined swales to slow and direct runoff. On steep slopes or near the lake, consider check dams, riprap, or retaining walls and work with local erosion-control rules to avoid sediment entering Lake Bridgeport. Proper slope design and a compacted base greatly reduce washouts after storms.
Crusher-run or crush-and-run (a mix of stone and fines) compacts tightly and creates a more stable, lower-dust base over clay soils. A top layer of #57 or 3/4" crushed stone gives a firm wearing surface and reduces loose dust compared with fine pea gravel. For the dustiest sites, consider periodic watering, a polymer stabilizer, or a stabilized gravel product to bind fines.
