Why Alba Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alba is a small Texas community with a population of 4,610, yet it benefits from being part of a broader market that includes more than 2.5+ million people in the surrounding metro area. A steady annual growth rate of 0.70% points to consistent, moderate demand for home improvement, landscape upgrades, and local construction projects rather than a rapid boom. That steady pace means homeowners often tackle incremental projects—driveway repairs, garden beds, erosion control, and small additions—that rely on predictable quantities of bulk materials. With 228 sunny days and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, material choices must balance sun exposure and periodic rain: UV-resistant surface materials, erosion-resistant soils, and aggregates that promote drainage are especially valuable. These local conditions make a range of products useful—from soils and mulches to sands and base aggregates—and underline why sourcing regionally appropriate materials matters for performance and appearance.Popular Projects in Alba This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alba Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Alba.
Homeowners in Alba typically choose from a range of bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, stone—to match the job. For driveways they often select compactable, well-draining mixes; for planting beds and leveling they choose finer materials. Pick a material based on load, appearance, and drainage needs, and use a material calculator to estimate quantities.
Choose materials that hold up to heat and shed water—think mixes that compact well and offer good drainage. Because regional sourcing affects texture and color, expect some variation and select materials with enough slope and backing drainage to avoid pooling after storms. If you are unsure, use our aggregate quiz or contact our team for recommendations.
Plan projects for spring or fall to avoid the hottest summer temperatures and the seasonal heavy rains that can complicate compaction and finishing. Allow for a few dry days before and after delivery so materials can be spread and compacted properly. If you need faster timing, check next-day delivery options but avoid work on saturated ground.
Yes, most local suppliers and haulers deliver to rural addresses near Alba, but accessibility matters. Confirm gate access, load-bearing capacity of driveways, overhead clearance, and whether the delivery route uses county roads that have weight or permit restrictions. Provide clear delivery notes at checkout to avoid surprises.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order confirmation, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can choose your preferred date in checkout and add delivery notes for placement. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed.
Costs vary by material type, quantity ordered, distance from the supplier, local availability, and any special delivery needs such as spreading or difficult access. Rural routes or longer hauls can add per-ton or delivery fees, and minimum orders (typically 3 tons) affect per-ton pricing. Use our online quote tool or contact the team for an estimate tailored to your zip code.
Same-week delivery is often possible but depends on supplier stock, haul schedules, and the time you place the order. Ordering early in the week and choosing next-day delivery (if available) improves your chances; check zip code availability during checkout. If you have a tight timeline, contact our team to confirm supplier capacity.
Contractors should assess existing soil, slope, and expected traffic, then recommend appropriate base prep, compaction, and drainage solutions. Consider using geotextile fabric, specifying material gradation for stability, and planning positive drainage away from structures. Regional variations mean testing and local supplier input help fine-tune recommendations.
Permitting requirements can vary by city and county; some driveway work or road crossings may need a permit, and heavy deliveries on public roads may require escort or weight restrictions. Check with Alba city offices and the county for driveway permits, right-of-way rules, and any HOA requirements before scheduling. If in doubt, contact our team and we can flag common local issues.
Maintenance varies by material but generally includes periodic topping up (adding material), regrading after heavy rain, weed control, and occasional compaction for high-traffic areas. Hot, dry summers can cause fine materials to loosen and blow, while heavy rains may require drainage fixes; plan for modest yearly upkeep. For planning help, use our material calculator and ask about low-maintenance options.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

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.

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!
