Why University Place Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
University Place is a growing community with a city population of 58,330 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually, demand for home improvements and modest new construction tends to be consistent rather than explosive—think steady driveway repairs, landscape upgrades, and small additions more often than large subdivisions. The local climate—228/year sunny days, 34.80 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners need materials that stand up to strong sun cycles, occasional heavy rains, and warm winters. That combination favors durable, well-draining base materials, stable topsoils, and aggregates that resist breakdown under UV exposure. Across projects from grading and drainage to patios and beds, quality bulk materials help prevent erosion, reduce maintenance, and support long-term plant health in University Place’s specific environment.Popular Projects in University Place This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - University Place Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in University Place.
University Place's West Texas climate typically features hot summers and periods of heavy rain, both of which affect material performance. High heat can cause some materials to dry out or settle more quickly, while heavy rain can cause washouts or poor compaction. Plan projects for milder months when possible and allow time for settling and drainage after installation.
Soil types in the area range from sandy to clay-like depending on local geology, which affects drainage and stability. Poorly draining soils usually need a stable base and improved drainage before placing aggregates, while sandy soils may require containment to prevent shifting. Consider a simple soil test or contractor assessment to match material selection and base preparation to your site.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and typically offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery charges vary by distance, site access, and material type; many areas qualify for free delivery but you should check your zip code for exact pricing. You can choose a delivery date at checkout and add notes about access or drop location.
Yes, some projects may require city permits or HOA approval, especially if you alter driveways, curb lines, drainage, or visible landscaping. Local rules vary, so contact University Place municipal offices and your HOA before ordering materials or starting work. If you need help, plan orders with some flexibility in timing to accommodate approvals.
Spring and fall are generally the best times for exterior projects in West Texas because temperatures are milder and heavy rains are less common. Avoid peak summer heat when compaction and working conditions are difficult, and try not to schedule during extended rainy periods that can delay delivery and installation. Request your preferred date at checkout and allow extra days for weather-related rescheduling.
Slope and terrain affect stability and erosion risk, so steeper areas usually need coarser, angular materials, retaining features, or erosion control fabrics to hold material in place. Flatter areas can use more compactible mixes and are easier for uniform coverage. For paths, driveways, or terraces, discuss slope with a contractor and consider geotextile or edging to prevent migration.
Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers based on your zip code, so you can order online and schedule delivery without searching multiple vendors. Regional sourcing means texture and color may vary, so check photos and add preferences in Order Notes. For specific supplier names or specialty materials, request a quote through the site or call customer support.
Maintenance needs include occasional topping-up, regrading after major storms, and routine weed control; how often depends on the material, traffic, and drainage. With proper base prep and drainage, many aggregates last several years before needing significant replenishment. Good drainage and periodic maintenance extend lifespan, especially after heavy rains or seasonal temperature changes.
Contractors typically recommend solutions focused on site drainage and base stability rather than a single material—proper grading, a well-prepared base layer, and erosion controls are key for both drought and flood resilience. Using combinations of materials with geotextile or retaining edges can minimize movement during floods and reduce dust in dry spells. Ask contractors to evaluate your yard and suggest a system that balances permeability, stability, and upkeep.
Costs vary widely by material type, finish, and delivery distance, so expect a broad range rather than a single price. As a guideline, many bulk materials run from a few dozen dollars to over a hundred dollars per ton, and installed material costs commonly range from under $1 to several dollars per square foot depending on depth and finish. The best way to get an accurate number is to use Hello Gravel's quote tool or calculator and include your zip code, desired depth, and project area.
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.
