The area’s growth rate of 0.40% annually, combined with a climate featuring 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.32 inches, and hardiness zone 8b, creates conditions where durable, low-maintenance surfacing and proper drainage matter.

Frequently Asked Questions - Shady Shores gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shady Shores.
Expect material prices in West Texas to vary by type and distance; a reasonable range is about $20 to $45 per ton delivered for common gravels (crushed limestone and crushed rock tend to be at the lower end; pea gravel and decorative stone at the higher end). Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, and many local deliveries are included in the online price; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. For an exact quote for your address in Shady Shores, check your zip code on the Hello Gravel site or contact the sales team.
For driveways in the Shady Shores area, angular crushed limestone or crushed rock is often best because the pieces lock together and resist migration. Pea gravel is attractive for patios and walkways but can shift under vehicle traffic and may need edging; decomposed granite compacts well for low-traffic patios and paths. Consider your slope, drainage needs, and the look you want when choosing a material.
Yes. Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers in the West Texas region and will source materials from nearby quarries so your gravel reflects local geology. Enter your zip code on our site to see available material types and delivery options, or contact our team for supplier-specific questions and scheduling.
Use area times depth to estimate tonnage: tons = square feet x depth(in) x 0.00432. For a typical 1-car driveway (10' x 20' = 200 sq ft) at a 3" surface depth you need about 2.6 tons; a 2-car driveway (20' x 20' = 400 sq ft) at 3" needs about 5.2 tons. If you plan a compacted base (4" to 6"), increase the quantity accordingly and use the Hello Gravel material calculator to get a precise order amount.
Angular crushed stone and crushed rock provide good interlock and faster surface drainage, which helps resist washouts from sudden heavy rains common in the area. Pea gravel and fine materials can migrate or wash into low spots unless contained by edging or a geotextile fabric, so use edge restraints and proper grading near slopes or water. For sites by lakes or creeks, include a good subgrade, slope away from structures, and consider heavier stone or riprap where flow concentrates.
Installed costs vary with site prep and slope, but a common total range is about $1.50 to $4.50 per square foot, which includes material plus basic labor and compaction. For a 400 sq ft driveway that works out to roughly $600 to $1,800, but steep terrain, drainage work, or added screening/compaction can raise that price. Get an on-site estimate for accurate pricing and note that Hello Gravel can provide delivered material pricing so you can separate material cost from installation labor.
Expect to regrade and tighten the surface after heavy rains or seasonal settling, often once a year for active driveways. Common repairs include adding 1 to 2 inches of new gravel every 2 to 3 years, filling ruts and washouts after storms, and removing weeds or repairing edge containment. Regular maintenance is especially important in Shady Shores because occasional intense rain events can move material quickly.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost but requires more frequent maintenance; typical lifespan with regular upkeep is roughly 10 to 20 years. Asphalt has a higher initial cost and typically lasts 15 to 25 years with maintenance, while concrete costs the most upfront and can last 25 to 40 years. Local seasonal weather and periodic heavy rains can shorten asphalt and concrete life if drainage is poor, so good site prep matters regardless of material.
Permit and HOA rules vary; some towns and HOAs have restrictions on loose gravel, required edging, or aesthetic standards. Before ordering material, check with the Town of Shady Shores planning department and review your HOA covenants so you avoid rework or fines. If you need documentation for permit submissions, Hello Gravel can provide delivery details and material descriptions.
Extreme heat increases dust and surface fines may loosen, so choose slightly coarser, angular stone and consider a periodic top-up to reduce dust. Freeze events can cause minor heaving if the base holds moisture, so a well-draining, compacted subbase reduces freeze-related movement. For flash flooding, prioritize good grading, edge restraints, geotextile fabric, and heavier stone in vulnerable areas to limit washouts and material loss.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
