Road Base Delivery in Schertz, TX

If you're planning a road base project in Schertz — whether it's a private driveway, a building pad, or a commercial development — knowing the local requirements upfront can save you time and money. The City of Schertz follows TxDOT Item 247, Type A, Grade 1 or Grade 2 specifications for flexible base material used in street construction. That means the crushed stone or crushed gravel you order needs to meet those standards before it ever hits the ground.

Compaction is just as important as the material itself. Schertz requires flexible base to be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of maximum density, measured using TxDOT test method Tex-113-E. Skipping this step or under-compacting your base layer can lead to settling, cracking, and costly repairs down the road. Plan to have proper compaction equipment on-site and ready before your material arrives.

Under TxDOT standards, Grade 1 flexible base must achieve a minimum compressive strength of 45 psi at zero lateral pressure. This isn't just a number on paper — it reflects how well the material will hold up under load once it's in place. Choosing the right grade for your specific application matters, and we can help you figure out what fits your project.

If your project touches a public right-of-way in Schertz, you'll need to pull a Right-of-Way Permit through the City's Engineering Department before any work or material placement begins. That includes delivery access routes that cross or use city-maintained roads or easements. Getting that permit squared away early keeps your project moving without unexpected stops.
