Why Allen Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Allen has a population of 118,950 and is experiencing steady, manageable expansion with a growth rate of 0.70% annually. That kind of steady growth usually translates into ongoing demand for both maintenance and new construction rather than a boom-and-bust cycle — homeowners are updating yards and adding modest additions while contractors handle steady workloads. Local climate and geography shape material needs: with 228/year sunny days and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, projects must balance sun-tolerant landscaping, reliable drainage, and materials that resist sun-driven breakdown. For homeowners this means choosing bulk supplies that handle heat, occasional heavy rain, and local soil chemistry — from structural base materials for driveways to topsoil and mulch that support drought-tolerant plantings. Selecting quality, regionally sourced aggregates and soils helps ensure longevity, better compaction, and fewer callbacks on grading or drainage work.Popular Projects in Allen This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Allen Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Allen.
Start by thinking about function: durability for driveways, drainage for paths, and appearance for landscaping. For most projects in Allen, choose a material that balances compaction, drainage, and local availability; gravel, sand, dirt, stone can all work depending on base preparation and traffic. If unsure, use our aggregate quiz or contact our team for a recommendation based on expected use and budget.
Cost depends on material type, order size, and distance from local suppliers to Allen. Delivery fees, truck access, and any special services (like requested tailgate spreading) can add to the price; we show clear pricing at checkout and offer estimates before you place your order. For larger projects, ask about volume discounts and multiple-load pricing.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using our online calculator or the tool on our site. As a rule of thumb, small landscaping edits often need one to a few tons, and our minimum order is 3 tons; for gravel driveways or bases allow extra for compaction and grading. Contact our team if you want help with the math or a second opinion.
Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days for scheduling in Allen. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, subject to supplier and truck availability. We confirm the delivery date at checkout and notify you if any delays occur.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout. The driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on site access and truck capabilities. If spreading is essential, discuss options with our team before ordering.
No two loads are identical because we source regionally, so color and texture can vary based on local geology and natural variation. We encourage customers to note color or texture preferences in Order Notes, and our team can advise on local options. If the material differs significantly from what was expected, contact customer service and we will work to resolve it.
Yes. In Allen's seasonal climate, plan heavy earthwork during drier months to avoid compaction and mud issues, and schedule landscaping work outside of peak wet periods for best results. Temperature and rainfall can affect installation timing and material performance, so consider ordering in advance and checking the forecast. For large projects, allow extra lead time in spring and fall.
Driveway width, overhead obstructions, slope, and ground firmness all matter for dump truck access and safe offloading. Narrow lanes, low tree branches, or soft ground may limit where a driver can place material and could require additional handling or a different drop location. Provide site photos at checkout if you have access concerns, and our team will advise on the best delivery plan.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; we will do our best to accommodate requests before the order is processed. Changes may be limited once trucks are dispatched, and additional fees can apply for last-minute edits or cancellations. We recommend confirming quantities and delivery details during checkout to reduce the need for changes.
Possibly. City codes, HOA rules, and local drainage requirements can dictate acceptable materials, driveway widths, or grading standards. Check with your city or HOA before ordering if you have concerns, and let us know if permits or special access instructions are required so we can plan delivery accordingly. Our team can remind you to verify local rules but cannot obtain permits on your behalf.
Because we source regionally, material texture and coloration may reflect Allen's local geology and can vary from one load to another. Suppliers in our network adhere to standard industry practices, but natural materials can have stones, fines, and color differences. If consistency is critical, ask for a sample or discuss acceptable specs with our sales team before ordering.
Match material characteristics to the job: use well-draining, angular materials for base and drainage, and smoother, decorative mixes for top-layer landscaping. Our material descriptions and the aggregate quiz help narrow choices, and our sales team can recommend options that balance performance, appearance, and budget for Allen conditions. If you are hiring a contractor, confirm the material spec they prefer before ordering.
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.
