Why Rockwall Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rockwall is a growing West Texas city with a city population of 78,970 and an annual growth rate of 0.80% annually, which drives steady demand for home improvement and small construction projects. With about 228 sunny days per year and average annual rainfall of 34.25 inches in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners in Rockwall face seasonal wet periods and intense sun that both affect yards, drainage, and surface performance. That combination of growth and climate means more driveways, rain-friendly landscape beds, and erosion-control work—projects where quality aggregates matter. Homeowners choose gravel because it handles runoff better than bare soil, minimizes mud during wet months, and provides a durable, low-maintenance surface under Texas sun. Gravel performs well in Rockwall’s climate: it improves drainage during heavier rains, resists compaction compared with finer materials in wet conditions, and holds up under prolonged sun exposure without significant breakdown. For lawn edges, pathways, driveways, and French drain backfill, locally sourced gravel matches regional soil characteristics and looks natural in the landscape. Hello Gravel connects Rockwall homeowners to trusted local suppliers and professional haulers, offering clear pricing, scheduled delivery, and local knowledge so you get the right gravel for your site without the hassle of sourcing and coordination yourself.Popular Projects in Rockwall This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rockwall gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rockwall.
A typical tri-axle dump truck holds about 10-12 tons of gravel, and in the Rockwall area you can expect delivered prices to commonly range between $300 and $900 depending on stone type (crushed limestone, pea gravel, or recycled), seasonal demand, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing when you enter your zip code and offers transparent delivery fees and scheduling so you can see the final cost before you order.
A 50 lb bag of gravel equals about 0.018 cubic yards (roughly 0.5 cubic feet) and will cover approximately 6 square feet at a 1-inch depth, or about 3 square feet at 2 inches. For larger Rockwall projects it is almost always more economical to order by the ton rather than buying bags.
To save, order larger quantities (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) so you avoid per-ton markups on small orders, choose locally sourced crushed limestone or recycled base instead of decorative specialty stone, and compare local suppliers through the Hello Gravel platform for competitive bids. Also schedule delivery during weekdays and off-peak seasons when suppliers may offer better rates.
Avoid pea gravel for steep slopes, high-traffic driveways, wheelchair-accessible paths, and areas where cars must make sharp turns, because the round stones can shift and rut. In Rockwall's seasonal rains, pea gravel can wash out more easily than angular crushed stone unless you use edging and proper base stabilization.
Costs depend on width, depth, and material. For a modest 20 ft by 12 ft single-car driveway, you may need roughly 3-5 tons of material; with typical local materials and delivery in Rockwall that often translates to a delivered cost in the low hundreds to around $600, but remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum so you may end up ordering more than a small DIY project strictly needs.
No, 2 inches is generally not enough for a driveway. In Rockwall you should plan on a compacted base of 3-4 inches (or 4-6 inches for heavy vehicles) plus a 1-2 inch wearing layer of angular gravel to ensure durability and resistance to rutting.
Five tons of gravel is roughly 3.7 cubic yards and will cover about 400 square feet at a 3-inch depth or about 600 square feet at a 2-inch depth. In Rockwall, choose depth based on subgrade conditions—clay or poor drainage may require additional depth and compaction.
A 7x14 dump trailer's capacity varies with side height and payload limits, but commonly they carry about 3 to 5 cubic yards of gravel. Weight limits matter in Rockwall: because gravel is heavy, the trailer's axle rating and local road limits may restrict you to fewer cubic yards to stay within safe payload.
Twenty tons is roughly 14.8 cubic yards. Spread at a 3-inch finished depth that covers about 1,600 square feet, or at a 2-inch depth it covers about 2,400 square feet; adjust for deeper base needs in areas with poor drainage or heavy vehicle use.
Occasionally free fill appears from local construction cleanups or utility projects, but free material can be mixed, contaminated, or unsuitable for finished surfaces. Hello Gravel does not sell free gravel; for reliable, clean material with delivery and scheduling it is safer to order through a vetted supplier.
Yes, homeowners in Rockwall commonly do DIY gravel driveways, but plan for excavation, proper subgrade prep, geotextile fabric, compaction, edging, and correct aggregate sizes. If you order with Hello Gravel, you can schedule delivery to your preferred spot and request tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion, but specialized equipment or a contractor may be faster for larger jobs.
For Rockwall driveways, crushed limestone or '57' crushed stone (about 3/4-inch) is a popular choice for the top layer because the angular particles lock together. Underneath, a compacted base of larger crushed stone or recycled base improves stability—local limestone varieties are common in North Texas and may vary slightly in color and texture.
You can, but for longevity we recommend preparing the subgrade: remove vegetation, add and compact a base layer, and use a geotextile fabric to limit mixing with clay soils common around Rockwall. Without prep, the gravel will quickly sink into the soil, develop ruts, and wash out during heavy Texas rains.
Pea gravel does not inherently attract more pests than other stones, but it can create hiding spaces for ants or retain moisture if debris builds up, which may lead to occasional insect activity. Regular cleaning, keeping organic debris away, and ensuring good drainage in Rockwall's humid months reduce pest issues.
The 3-3-3 rule usually refers to mulch (3 inches of mulch, 3 feet away from tree trunks, replaced every 3 years) and does not apply to gravel. For gravel, follow construction best practices instead: build a compacted base (often 3-6 inches depending on traffic) and add a separate 1-2 inch surface layer rather than using a blanket '3-3-3' approach.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
