1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel

Why Merit Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Merit is a small but steadily growing community with a city population of 353 and ties to a broader metro area population of 2.5+ million. A growth rate of 0.70% annually points to modest, sustained demand for home improvements and incremental construction—think periodic driveway repairs, yard upgrades, and small-scale additions rather than rapid suburban sprawl. Local climate and geography shape what homeowners need: 228 sunny days a year, hardiness zone 8b, and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall mean projects must balance sun exposure, occasional heavy rains, and warm-season plant choices. That drives demand for a range of bulk materials—dirt and topsoil for grading and planting, sand and fines for leveling, various aggregates for drainage and driveways, and organic products for mulch and soil health. In Merit's environment, quality materials matter because they influence drainage performance, erosion resistance, and long-term maintenance needs, and regional sourcing helps ensure materials match local soil and weather patterns.Popular Projects in Merit This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Merit Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Merit.
Homeowners and contractors in Merit typically use a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, pads, walkways, grading, and drainage work. These materials are versatile and chosen based on load, drainage needs, and desired appearance rather than a single “best” option.
Pick a material based on intended use (walking vs driving), drainage needs, desired look, and local soil conditions. Consider the expected traffic, whether you need a stable base or loose top layer, and consult our material calculator or sales team for guidance.
A quick way to estimate is to calculate square feet times depth and convert to tons using our online calculator, but here are examples: a 12x50 driveway (600 sq ft) at 3 inches is about 8 tons and at 4 inches about 10–11 tons; a 3x30 walkway at 2 inches is about 1 ton; a 10x10 patio at 3 inches is roughly 1.3 tons. Our minimum order is 3 tons, so smaller jobs may require extra material or local delivery options.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Minimum orders start at 3 tons, and delivery fees vary by location; many areas have free delivery. Exact timing and fees will be displayed at checkout after entering your zip code.
Hot, dry, and windy West Texas conditions can increase dust, cause loose materials to shift, and affect compaction over time. Proper grading, occasional topping, and using heavier or angular materials for high-traffic areas will improve longevity. Plan outdoor installations in cooler months to avoid extreme heat during installation.
Deliveries are made with dump trucks (typically tri-axle), so narrow roads, low bridges, culverts, or local weight limits can affect where trucks can safely unload. Some streets or driveways may require permits or alternate drop spots; check local regulations and tell our team about tight access when ordering. We will work with suppliers and haulers to suggest delivery options if restrictions apply.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. You can request this service at checkout and the driver will assess feasibility upon arrival. For guaranteed spreading or placement, consider hiring local labor or arranging for additional services.
Because we source regionally, the appearance and texture of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone can vary based on local geology and supply. We recommend adding color or texture preferences in Order Notes and contacting our team for photos or samples if color match is important. Natural variation is normal and not a defect.
Maintenance depends on use and exposure; loose surface materials often need topping every 1–7 years depending on traffic and wind, while properly installed base layers last longer. Good drainage, periodic raking or replenishing, and addressing erosion after storms will extend service life. For high-traffic driveways or load-bearing areas, plan for more frequent upkeep.
Contact our team as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests but changes are not guaranteed once hauling is scheduled, so notify us promptly for the best outcome.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. 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.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
