Gravel: Built For West Texas Climate • Fast Gravel Delivery Across Watauga Area
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 Watauga Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Watauga, West Texas, has a city population of 1.0+ million and sits inside a metro area of 2.5+ million residents. With a steady annual growth rate of 0.70% annually, the region is seeing continued residential and landscaping activity. The local climate—228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates both hot, dry stretches and periodic heavy rains that influence yard design and site drainage. That mix drives demand for durable, low-maintenance aggregates: homeowners and local contractors choose materials that promote quick drainage, prevent erosion, and survive prolonged sun exposure. For common Watauga projects like driveways, pathways, drainage paths, and decorative front-yard cover, the right gravel delivers functional performance while keeping upkeep minimal under the local conditions. Gravel performs well in Watauga because it supports fast runoff, reduces standing water, and helps stabilize soils exposed to sun and seasonal storms. Different stone shapes and sizes suit distinct uses—angular crushed gravel compacts for driveways, while rounded stone works well for decorative beds—so selecting the right type matters for long-term performance. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to local suppliers and trusted haulers, handling quotes, scheduling, and delivery by dump truck so you receive regionally sourced gravel sized for local soil and weather. Our online ordering and local expertise make it easier to pick the material that fits Watauga's climate and your project goals.Popular Projects in Watauga This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Watauga gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Watauga.
Delivered gravel in the West Texas area commonly ranges from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on rock type and availability. A simple DIY spread for a small yard may cost only the material (3+ ton minimum), while a professionally installed 2-car driveway with grading, base prep, and compaction often runs from roughly $1,500 to $6,000 depending on size, depth, and site prep. Prices vary by supplier, season, and how much earthwork is needed, so get a local quote and check delivery windows when ordering.
For driveways in Watauga, angular crushed stone (crushed limestone or chert) is a top choice because it locks together and resists movement in hot, dry summers. Decomposed granite makes attractive, stabilizable paths and patios but can soften in heavy rain, while pea gravel is decorative but not ideal for high-traffic driveways on clay soils because it shifts and compacts poorly. Consider local samples before buying since color and texture vary by source.
A typical 2-car driveway is 400 to 800 sq ft; use (sq ft x depth in inches) / 324 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to 1.6 to convert to tons. For example, a 400 sq ft driveway at 4 inches needs about 4.9 cu yd (about 7 to 8.5 tons); increasing to a 6 inch compacted base doubles the amount. Because Watauga has clay patches in places, we usually recommend a deeper base (4 to 6 inches) and considering geotextile separation; Hello Gravel’s calculator can give a quick estimate for your exact dimensions.
Yes—gravel is very effective for surface drainage and slowing runoff when installed with proper slope and layers, but heavy clay soils common in the region can reduce infiltration. Use a coarser base, grade toward drains or swales, and consider underdrains or perforated pipe where water concentrates. Separating fabric between clay and gravel helps prevent mixing and improves long-term drainage performance.
Plan on periodic maintenance: regrading and adding 1/2 to 1 inch of new gravel every 1 to 3 years for driveways, and more frequent spot repairs after heavy rains. Hot, dry summers increase dust and minor shifting; occasional freezes can cause small frost heave but are less damaging than repeated wet/dry cycles. Proper compaction, edging, and using angular stone or stabilization products cut maintenance and extend service life.
Gravel has the lowest initial cost and fastest installation but higher ongoing maintenance and occasional replenishment. Asphalt is mid-range in cost with regular sealing for best life, while concrete is the highest upfront cost with the lowest routine maintenance. Local permitting and HOA rules can affect materials and look, so check Watauga city code and any HOA covenants before choosing.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers in the Fort Worth/West Texas region; material availability reflects regional geology so color and texture vary. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; minimum orders start at 3 tons and deliveries are made by tri-axle dump trucks. Seasonal demand and weather can affect lead times, so check zip-code availability and schedule early for large jobs.
They might. Many HOAs and some cities have rules about driveway materials, visible stone color, or maximum stone size to maintain neighborhood aesthetics and drainage standards. Before ordering, review your HOA covenants and contact Watauga city planning or code enforcement to confirm any restrictions and permit needs, and note color or size preferences in your order notes if required.
Start with good grading and a compacted base, install a geotextile fabric to block weeds and separate clay from stone, and use edging to keep material contained. Create positive drainage away from structures and consider a layered approach: larger base rock topped with a finer wearing course to reduce dust. For high-traffic driveways, consider stabilization (grid or polymer-treated fines) and schedule periodic regrading to prevent ruts and washouts.
Yes—in many Watauga applications the added upfront cost of geotextile fabric or a stabilization grid pays off through reduced maintenance and longer service life, especially on clay soils and higher-traffic driveways. Fabric is relatively inexpensive and prevents stone from sinking into the subgrade, while grids add more stability and reduce migration but cost more up front. If you want lower long-term upkeep and better performance in local conditions, consider these products during the planning or ordering stage.
