Gravel Built For West Texas Drainage • Next-Day Gravel Delivery For Windthorst Homes
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 Windthorst Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Windthorst is a small but active West Texas community with a city population of 1,310 and ties to a larger metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually, local homeowners and builders are increasingly investing in property improvements and new construction. The climate—about 233 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.70 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—means projects need materials that handle both strong sun and episodic heavy rain. That combination drives demand for durable, well-draining aggregates for driveways, French drains, landscape beds, and erosion control. Homeowners in Windthorst look for gravel that stays stable under traffic, sheds water quickly to prevent pooling, and blends with the local sandy-loam soils, so choosing the right size and texture matters for long-term performance.Popular Projects in Windthorst This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Windthorst gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Windthorst.
Prices vary by material, distance, and truck size, but expect delivered gravel in West Texas to commonly range from about $40 to $90 per ton. Hello Gravel shows upfront quotes for your zip code and notes that minimum orders start at 3 tons; delivery fees may be waived in many areas while next-day delivery carries an extra charge. Contact our team for an exact quote for Windthorst delivery.
Crushed limestone and crusher run are the most common local materials and perform well in hot, dry West Texas because they compacts tightly and resists movement. Pea gravel is popular for decorative areas but can shift and track in windy locations, while local caliche or crushed rock is often used for affordable driveways. Choose denser, angular materials for driveways and compacter stability; choose rounded pea gravel only for low-traffic decorative spots.

Use this quick guide: one ton of compacted gravel covers about 60 sq ft at 4" depth or about 125 sq ft at 2" depth. For example, a 12' x 50' driveway (600 sq ft) at a 3" depth will need roughly 7 to 8 tons. Use our online material calculator or contact our team for an exact estimate based on your project dimensions and desired depth.
West Texas clay soils can hold water and heave when wet, so good subgrade preparation is critical: remove organic material, add and compact a stable base (like crusher run), and ensure surface slope for runoff. Where drainage is poor, install a thicker compacted base, geotextile fabric, and consider perimeter drains or a French drain to protect the gravel surface. Proper prep prevents rutting and uneven settling common on clay subgrades.
Expect routine maintenance such as grading, filling low spots, and adding 1 to 2 inches of new gravel every 3 to 8 years depending on traffic, storms, and wind. With regular maintenance and proper base preparation, a gravel driveway in West Texas can function well for 15 to 25 years, though heavy use or poor drainage will shorten that lifespan. Regular regrading after big rains and occasional top-ups are normal.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is quick to install, but requires ongoing maintenance like regrading and periodic top-ups. Asphalt offers a smoother surface and lower dust with moderate upfront cost and periodic sealing, while concrete has the highest initial cost and longest life with minimal yearly upkeep. Consider traffic, budget, and maintenance willingness: gravel is cost-effective short term, while asphalt or concrete reduce long-term upkeep at higher initial cost.
For driveways, 3/4" minus crusher run or crushed limestone is a common choice because it compacts well and provides a stable surface. For walkways, 3/8" to 1/2" pea gravel or screened crushed stone works for comfort and appearance, while 1" to 2" rock is recommended for drainage channels or riprap. Local suppliers may use regional mixes, so check material descriptions and request samples if color or texture matters.
Permitting and rules vary, so check with Windthorst city hall and any applicable HOA or deed restrictions before you start work. Small towns often have simple rules, but some neighborhoods or county roads may require permits, setbacks, or specific materials. If in doubt, contact local authorities or Hello Gravel for guidance on typical local requirements.
Use a geotextile fabric to separate clay subgrade from the gravel, install solid edging to keep material contained, and build a well-compacted base layer of crusher run before a top layer of finish stone. Create a slight crown for runoff and compact each layer with a plate compactor; consider using a denser binder mix or polymer additives if dust is a concern. Also plan windbreaks or vegetation where strong winds commonly blow to reduce loss of fine material.
Hello Gravel arranges delivery by local dump trucks (typically tri-axle) with a minimum order of 3 tons; standard delivery is 2+ business days while next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST with a fee. In the Order Notes, add your preferred drop location and any access instructions; drivers may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion but this is not guaranteed. Make sure the drop area is accessible and free of low-hanging wires or obstacles to avoid delays.

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.
