1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.

Why Electra Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Electra, population 2,230, sits within a growing West Texas metro area and is experiencing measured, steady demand for new construction and landscaping as its region expands (metro area population 2.5+ million and a growth rate of 0.70% annually). That modest but consistent growth translates into more residential updates, driveway renovations, and small-scale outdoor projects rather than large urban infill—homeowners need reliable, cost-effective materials at predictable schedules. Electra’s climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days annually and about 34.80 inches of rain each year—creates specific expectations for materials: durability under high sun exposure, good drainage for seasonal downpours, and products that help conserve soil moisture. For local projects, homeowners are choosing low-maintenance landscapes, erosion controls, and stable base layers for driveways and patios. That mix of needs makes quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—important for long-lasting results in Electra’s environment.Popular Projects in Electra This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Electra Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Electra.
Choose materials that suit the job and local climate rather than a single product. For Electra's hot, dry conditions, pick aggregates that drain well and resist excessive dust and compaction; locally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, and stone often perform best because they match regional soils. Consider a harder base material for driveways and a finer finish material for walking areas, and plan for periodic top-ups in exposed, dusty locations.
Base your choice on function: load-bearing surfaces need a compactable base, decorative areas need consistent color and texture, and drainage areas need more open, free-draining mixes. Think about traffic, appearance, maintenance, and budget, then use Hello Gravel's material calculator and guidance to compare options. If unsure, request supplier samples or contact our team for recommendations tailored to West Texas conditions.
Hot, dry weather speeds drying and can increase dust, sun bleaching, and some surface erosion, which means finishes may need more frequent replenishment. Compaction can be greater on some soils, so proper grading and compaction during installation helps longevity. Plan for occasional maintenance like adding fresh material, raking, or using stabilizers for high-traffic areas.
You can schedule deliveries year-round, but spring and fall are often easiest for installation because conditions are milder. Summer deliveries are available but plan for heat-related challenges like faster drying and worker comfort; heavy rains are less frequent in Electra, so winter delays are usually limited. Hello Gravel standard delivery takes 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee.
Measure the area (length by width) and decide on the depth you need in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons using a calculator. Hello Gravel provides a material calculator and recommended depths for common projects; remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so round up if your calculated need is small. If you prefer help, text or call our team with your dimensions and project type for an estimate.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which covers most small residential projects; availability of smaller quantities depends on local suppliers and trucking. Check your zip code on our site to see local options and pricing. If you need less than our minimum, consider combining orders with neighbors or speaking with the supplier for alternate solutions, keeping in mind limited flexibility.
Standard delivery is scheduled at least 2 business days out and is included in many areas at no extra charge. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and you can choose your preferred delivery date at checkout. Deliveries arrive by contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle); drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
Delivery costs vary by distance, order size, material type, and site access, so exact prices depend on your zip code and order details. Hello Gravel lists transparent pricing during checkout and often offers free delivery in many areas; get a quote on the site to see local rates. If you have special access needs or want next-day service, expect additional fees.
Permitting requirements can vary by project type and local rules, so check with the City of Electra or Wichita County before starting work. Simple material deliveries or small garden beds typically do not need permits, but driveway reconstructions, curb cuts, or changes to stormwater flow may. Hello Gravel coordinates material delivery only and can help with quantities and timing, but permit checks and approvals are your responsibility.
Base materials provide stability and drainage while surface materials define appearance and wear. A heavier, compactable base increases longevity and load capacity, while a finer surfacing material improves walkability and looks; porous mixes help with drainage but may need more topping over time. Consider traffic level, desired maintenance, and local climate when choosing materials, and ask our team about combinations that work well in West Texas.
Small landscaping tasks like topping garden beds or laying a simple pathway are often practical for DIYers with basic tools, while larger jobs like driveway base construction or heavy grading usually benefit from professional equipment and experience. Consider your skill level, access to compactors or heavy equipment, and how much time you can commit; Hello Gravel supports both homeowners and contractors and can help with material estimates either way.
Ensure clear truck access, a stable landing area, and no low-hanging wires or obstructions along the delivery route. Mark preferred drop locations, protect nearby landscaping or paved areas, and let the driver know if there are special access concerns; drivers will assess site conditions on arrival and may adjust placement. If you want spreading assistance, request it at checkout but expect the driver to decide if it can be done safely.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
