Bulk Gravel Delivery in San Marcos, Texas

The Hill Country aesthetic runs on gravel. Decomposed granite paths, crushed limestone driveways, screenings under pavers — the materials that define a San Marcos yard are the same materials we deliver every day across Hays County. Yards Direct stocks 3/4" crushed limestone, 1/2" minus decomposed granite, 3/8" limestone screenings, road base, and 1"×2" washed river gravel — all by the cubic yard.

For driveways and pads, 3/4" crushed limestone is the standard base rock in the San Marcos area. It compacts cleanly, drains well, and handles the wet-dry cycling that the climate puts material through. For paths and patios in Wimberley and the rural parts of Hays County, 1/2" minus decomposed granite is the most-ordered material — it tamps down into a firm walking surface and the natural color suits Hill Country landscapes. For drainage beds and french drains near the rivers, 1"×2" washed river gravel handles the volume during the seasonal downpours.

How much gravel do you need? A cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at 3 inches deep, or 80 square feet at 4 inches. Driveways typically run 4-6 inches of base; paths usually 2-3 inches; paver bases 1 inch of screenings over a compacted base.
