Bulk Gravel Delivery to San Marcos, TX
If you are a contractor grading a pad or a homeowner topping a path, you need gravel and aggregate delivery in San Marcos, TX that shows up on time. Texas Rock Supply delivers bulk materials across Hays County, and Flex Base is the local workhorse you will see on most base jobs. We weigh the trade-offs with you so the material fits the ground it lands on.
San Marcos sits on expansive clay that shifts with moisture, so what you put down and how deep you put it matters. We stock the materials that handle that reality.
Materials for San Marcos Projects
For walkways and garden paths, fines and screenings give you a surface that packs firm and stays comfortable underfoot. Stone Screenings are the go-to for bedding pavers or flagstone, locking them in place without shifting. For a looser path surface that still walks well, Walkway Gravel offers a finer, more stable option than larger stone.
Flex Base, also called TxDOT Item 247 flex base, is the default base material for driveways and laydown yards. Grade 1 or Grade 2 flex base compacts into a dense slab that carries vehicle weight. If you need a washed drainage stone, 3/4" Crushed Stone handles French drains and construction entrances. For a path topping over a compacted base, 3/8" Crushed Stone gives a finer finish that still drains.
Ground and Conditions in San Marcos
A thin base fails fast here. Expansive clay across the Blackland Prairie and much of north and central Texas shrinks and swells with the season, which is why base depth and drainage carry the job. Skimp on depth and you will see cracking and rutting within a year.
Heavy downpours and flash flooding put water where you do not want it. A drainage layer of Drain Rock or #57 Limestone moves water away from the base before it softens the clay below. Work runs year round in most of Texas; wet spells, not cold, are what stop a base job. Frost is minimal in most of the state, so base failures here come from water and clay movement, not frost.
