Why West Field Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
West Field is a steadily growing community with a city population of 25,000 and a metro area population of 2.6+ million. A growth rate of 1.20% annually indicates steady, sustained demand for housing, infrastructure, and outdoor improvements rather than a short-term boom — that means more routine home upgrades, driveway repairs, new patios, and small-scale construction projects from homeowners and local contractors. The local climate — 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches in hardiness zone 8b — encourages year-round activity but creates specific needs: materials must manage moderate rain, resist sun-driven fading and dust, and support plantings suited to the milder zone. For these reasons, quality bulk materials such as well-graded base mixes, drainage-friendly sands, durable topsoils, and stable surfacing aggregates matter for long-lasting results across landscaping and building projects.Popular Projects in West Field This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - West Field Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in West Field.
For West Field's climate, the best windows are spring and early fall when the ground is workable and not frozen. Avoid deliveries on frozen or waterlogged ground to reduce compaction and spreading problems. Plan around planting schedules so you add material before seeding or planting whenever possible.
Start with the right bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) and then add edging, landscape fabric, mulch or compost, and basic tools like a wheelbarrow, rake, and shovel. Contractors may also need compactors, plate tampers, and heavier equipment depending on scope. Think through the finished surface, drainage needs, and access to determine what to order.
The 70/30 idea is a simple mixing guideline: roughly 70% native soil to 30% compost or amendment to improve structure and fertility. It helps loosen heavy soils and improve water retention in sandy soils, and is a good starting point for raised beds or planting areas. Adjust the ratio based on plant needs and soil tests rather than following a single rule for every site.
October is often a good time for many projects because cooler temperatures reduce plant stress, and some deliveries and grading are easier before freeze-up. Avoid heavy planting or topdressing right before a hard freeze, and plan grading or base installation ahead of the first frost. If you need next-day delivery or quick turnaround, check available delivery windows before scheduling.
Small residential orders can often be moved and loosely spread in a few hours by a homeowner; larger jobs or compacting and grading will take longer and may require equipment. Our drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but that is not guaranteed. For planning, factor in site access, distance from drop to work area, and whether professional crews are involved.
Hourly rates vary by experience, task complexity, and equipment needed; a broad local range is roughly $40 to $100 per hour for general landscape labor. Specialized work (excavation, stump removal, precise grading) can increase rates or be quoted per job. Always get multiple estimates and confirm whether material delivery is included or billed separately.
With about $1,000 you can typically cover a gravel pathway, refresh mulch and topsoil for raised beds, or build a modest patio base with stone and sand, depending on material prices and quantities. Prioritize high-impact items like drainage fixes, a defined path, or improved planting soil to get the biggest benefit. Use our material calculator to turn project dimensions into quantities and a rough cost before ordering.
Measure length, width, and desired depth to calculate volume (area times depth), convert to cubic yards, then use our online calculator or contact our team to convert cubic yards to tons for the material you choose. Different materials have different densities, so the conversion varies; our site provides common conversions and an aggregate quiz to help pick the right product. When in doubt, order a little extra for compaction and small shortfalls.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; changes are easier before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee all changes, especially once a supplier or truck is scheduled. Check your order confirmation for next steps and contact numbers.
Minimum orders start at 3 tons and standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, not Hello Gravel-branded trucks, and drivers will assess tailgate spreading at arrival but cannot guarantee spreading services. Confirm site access, overhead clearances, and preferred drop location during checkout to avoid delays.
West Field's seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, drainage patterns, and regional geology influence how materials perform over time; for example, some bases compact better for hardscapes while others suit planting beds. Choose materials that match the project's function—drainage, stability, or planting—and note that regional sourcing means color and texture can vary. If unsure, contact our team for guidance based on local conditions and typical uses.
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.

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.
