Xeriscaping in Hutto: gravel, DG and rock for low-water yards
With summer watering limits common around Central Texas, many Hutto homeowners are swapping thirsty turf for rock and native plants.
Pick the right surface
Decomposed granite for paths and seating, river rock for beds and drainage areas, crushed granite for a clean, uniform look. Mixing two textures reads well.
Prep matters
Remove turf, lay fabric where weeds are a concern, and spread rock 2–3 inches deep. Leave planting pockets filled with soil for native plants.
How to work out how many tons you need
Multiply length × width in feet by depth in inches, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Most gravel, base and sand weigh roughly 1.3–1.5 tons per cubic yard; soil and mulch are lighter. Our materials calculator does the math with the real density of each material and rounds up to the order minimum, so you don't come up short on delivery day.
Truck access in Hutto
A loaded dump truck needs about 12 feet of width and 14 feet of overhead clearance to reach the drop spot. Watch for low oak limbs, soft lawns after rain, septic fields and irrigation lines. Add a note to your order with gate codes or where you want the pile, and the driver will follow it.
