Gravel: Semi-Arid Drainage And Erosion Control • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Before Noon CST
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 Shamrock Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shamrock's city population is 2,010, sitting within a West Texas region whose metro area tops 2.5+ million. With a steady 0.70% annual growth rate, local demand for home projects and small-scale construction is consistent—new driveways, drainage upgrades, and landscape refreshes are common as homeowners invest to protect property and boost curb appeal. Shamrock's climate (228 sunny days annually and 34.25 inches of rainfall per year) and its placement in hardiness zone 8b mean materials must handle both intense sun and occasional heavy rains. That combination drives a need for durable, well-graded aggregates that control erosion, support vehicle loads, and keep landscape beds looking neat. Homeowners choose quality gravel for long-lasting driveways, French drains, xeriscape yards, and base layers under patios because it balances drainage, stability, and low maintenance.Popular Projects in Shamrock This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shamrock gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shamrock.
Delivery cost depends on material type, quantity, and distance from the local supplier. In Shamrock and surrounding West Texas areas, expect delivery fees to be lower when you order the minimum 3 tons or more; Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and connects you with local suppliers for an exact quote. Ask for a delivery estimate in checkout or contact our team for a location-specific price.
For driveways and farm roads in semi-arid West Texas, crushed limestone or crusher run (a mix of stone and fines) is a strong choice because it compacts well and resists wind erosion. Angular crushed stone provides interlock for stability, while pea gravel is less suited for heavy vehicle traffic because it shifts easily.
A typical 2-car driveway about 20 ft by 20 ft at 4 inches depth needs roughly 5 cubic yards of gravel, which is about 7 tons using a common conversion of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons. If you want a thicker base (6 inches) for heavier vehicles, plan on about 10 tons. Use our material calculator or ask our team to get a precise estimate for your exact dimensions.
For farm lanes and areas with heavy equipment, a compacted base of 6 to 8 inches of crusher run or similar base rock is recommended to prevent rutting. Top with 2 to 3 inches of wearing stone if you want a smoother surface. Adding a geotextile fabric under the base can improve longevity on softer spots.
In semi-arid, windy places like Shamrock, expect to regrade or add a light topping of gravel every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic levels and initial compaction. Areas with heavy truck traffic may need topping every 1 to 3 years. Regular grading after rainy events and occasional addition of 1 to 2 inches of fresh material helps control washboarding and ruts.
Yes, properly specified gravel can improve surface drainage and reduce erosion compared with bare soil. Use coarser, free-draining stone in drainage swales and slopes, and consider a layered approach (geotextile, base rock, then wearing course) on steeper grades. For severe erosion areas, combine gravel with proper grading and vegetation or engineered erosion controls.
Gravel mixes that include fines, such as crusher run or road base, tend to suppress dust better because the small particles bind the surface. Coarser, clean stones like crushed rock or pea gravel produce more dust and can blow away in high winds. If dust control is a priority, ask for a stabilized mix or consider applying a dust-control product after installation.
Hello Gravel arranges delivery by local dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. You can request spreading in the Order Notes at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and the driver will assess safety and site conditions on arrival. The minimum order is 3 tons, so plan accordingly for delivery access and spreading expectations.
Pea gravel is decorative and good for walkways and play areas but shifts under vehicle loads; crushed limestone compacts well and is versatile for driveways and paths; decomposed granite gives a compacted, natural look for paths but performs poorly under heavy traffic. Match the material to the use: choose pea gravel for ornamentation, crushed limestone for functional surfaces, and decomposed granite for low-traffic, aesthetic paths.
Most residential gravel deliveries do not require permits, but large commercial loads or deliveries that block public roads might. Ensure there is adequate truck access and a clear drop zone; inform our team about gated entries, low-hanging wires, or narrow lanes when you order. If you are unsure about local rules, check with Shamrock city or Wheeler County offices before scheduling delivery.
Regular grading to remove washboarding and fill low spots, maintaining a crown for drainage, and adding fresh gravel as needed are key maintenance steps. Control water flow with ditches or culverts to avoid erosion, and repair potholes promptly with compacted material. Periodic compaction after adding material helps lock the surface and reduce dust.
Contractors can order bulk through Hello Gravel's online platform by entering the project zip code and selecting material and delivery options; volume pricing and scheduled delivery are available depending on local supplier capacity. For large or recurring deliveries, contact our sales team to coordinate scheduling, truck access, and any special mix requirements. Keep in mind regional sourcing means the exact gradation may vary by supplier, so confirm specs before ordering.
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.
