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.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!
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.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Abilene Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Abilene, with a city population of 110,227 and a metro area population of 172,000, is seeing steady, measured expansion at about 0.50% annually—enough to keep residential and light commercial projects active without the volatility of rapid boom cycles. That steady demand translates into consistent need for bulk materials for driveways, grading, foundation prep, erosion control, and landscape beds. Abilene’s semi-arid setting—230 sunny days per year and just 23.00 inches of annual rainfall, in hardiness zone 7b—means materials must tolerate prolonged sun exposure, seasonal dry spells, and brief but intense rain events. Local sourcing often yields aggregates and soils that vary in color and texture, so reliable access to a range of sand, dirt, mulches, stone mixes, and base products helps homeowners plan projects that last in this specific environment.Popular Projects in Abilene This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Abilene Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Abilene.
Start by matching material performance to the job: consider load (cars vs foot traffic), drainage needs, appearance, and maintenance. In Abilene's climate, pick materials that tolerate heat and wide temperature swings; regional mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, stone will vary in texture and color. Use a material calculator or talk to an expert to confirm quantities and suitability for your site.
In hot, arid conditions choose materials and mixes that resist breakdown, minimize dust, and promote drainage. Stabilizing base materials and coarser mixes often perform better for driveways and slopes, while looser mixes are better for planting beds and topsoil needs. Expect regional variation in local gravel, sand, dirt, stone and consider adding mulch or plantings to reduce evaporation and erosion.
Spring and fall are typically the best seasons for heavy outdoor work in Abilene because temperatures are milder and soils are easier to work. Avoid the hottest summer afternoons for intensive grading or spreading and plan around seasonal rains that can affect access and compaction. Allow lead time for delivery—standard windows are usually 2 or more business days, with next-day options available on request.
Many local suppliers will deliver outside city limits, but delivery depends on road access, restrictions, and distance from the quarry or yard. Provide clear directions, gate codes, and phone contact when ordering, and confirm any additional delivery fees or site restrictions. Also check minimum order requirements and truck size—deliveries are often made by tri-axle dump trucks.
Some projects may require permits, especially if they change drainage patterns, affect public right-of-way, or involve curb cuts and driveway approaches. Check with the City of Abilene, Taylor County, and any homeowners association for local rules and setback requirements before you start. For larger projects, a contractor or local building department can advise on specific permit needs.
Measure the length and width of the area, decide on the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons using a simple formula or online calculator. For example, (square feet x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards; many suppliers also offer calculators and can confirm quantities. Order a little extra for waste and compaction, and discuss job specifics with the supplier if your site has uneven grade or tricky access.
Delivery timing and fees vary by supplier and location; many deliveries are scheduled for 2+ business days with next-day options for orders placed early. Fees depend on distance, site access, required truck size, and whether spreading is requested; some areas may qualify for free delivery. Confirm minimum order sizes, delivery windows, and any additional charges when you get a quote.
Choose materials and approaches that stabilize soil and direct water safely away from structures, such as larger angular aggregates for riprap areas, engineered mixes for channels, and well-graded base materials for slopes. Combine material selection with proper grading, drainage swales, and vegetation to reduce erosion in Abilene’s flash-rain and dry-cycle climate. Always consider site-specific factors and consult a contractor for steep slopes or concentrated flow areas.
Base your choice on the project's function: jobs that need a firm surface (driveways, pads) require materials that compact and lock together, while planting beds, dry creek beds, and drainage solutions need materials that allow water to pass through. In many projects you will use both types in layers: a compactable base topped with a draining surface. Test or ask for local recommendations because regional gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes behave differently.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; if a delivery doesn’t meet expectations, contact customer service promptly so they can help. Order changes are easiest before materials are dispatched, so call as soon as possible and be ready for limited options once trucks are on the road. Note that drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed.
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.
