Why Alton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alton sits within a region with a city population of 58,330 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million. A steady growth rate of 0.70% annually points to ongoing demand for residential and light commercial projects rather than a sudden construction boom — think steady home improvements, driveway repairs, and new landscaping rather than rapid large-scale development. Local climate and geography — 228 sunny days, 34.80 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b — mean homeowners need materials that balance sun and water exposure: UV- and heat-resistant surfacing for paths and driveways, well-graded aggregates for effective drainage during periodic storms, and soil blends or mulches that retain moisture without trapping water. These combined trends make reliable, locally sourced bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, topsoil, mulch, and stone) important for long-lasting outdoor projects in Alton.Popular Projects in Alton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Alton.
Delivery pricing depends on order size, distance from local suppliers, site access, and the material type. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing for your zip code (78573) and charges are influenced by minimum order requirements (3 tons), trucking logistics, and any special services like tailgate spreading. For an exact estimate, enter your address on our site or contact our team for a quote.
In West Texas, choose materials that drain well and resist sun and heat-related fading; different projects benefit from different properties such as stability, drainage, or appearance. Because we source regionally, you can expect local variations in gravel, sand, dirt, stone, so pick material based on the needed function (drainage, base, finish) rather than appearance alone. Our material quiz and sales team can help match performance needs to local options.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-day delivery is uncommon but can sometimes be arranged depending on local supplier and truck availability; check your zip code on our site or call to see current options. Always allow extra time for high-demand seasons or weather disruptions.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the depth you need, then convert volume to cubic yards by dividing cubic feet by 27 (area x depth in feet / 27). Multiply cubic yards by the material’s approximate weight (materials commonly range about 1.1 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard) or use our online material calculator for a precise estimate. When in doubt, order a little extra to allow for compaction and grading.
Local codes and HOA rules can restrict driveway materials, curb cuts, drainage alterations, or visible exterior finishes, so check Alton’s building and planning department and your HOA documents before ordering. Hello Gravel can deliver a wide range of materials, but we do not enforce or interpret local regulations; contact the city or your HOA for definitive guidance. Add notes in your order if you need specific color or texture preferences, keeping in mind regional variation.
Plan deliveries to avoid periods of heavy rain that can make driveways and work areas muddy and harder to access, and account for summer heat when scheduling labor-intensive work. Lead times may increase during busy landscaping seasons, so book early for spring and fall projects. Use the next-day option when timing is tight, but expect standard 2+ business days for normal deliveries.
Rural deliveries can add cost if trucks must travel farther, use smaller vehicles, navigate narrow or steep driveways, or offload material over long distances from the dump point. Provide clear site access instructions and photos at checkout to help carriers prepare and keep unexpected charges down. Also mark any overhead lines, soft shoulders, or obstacles that could prevent a tri-axle dump truck from reaching the drop spot.
Clear vegetation, mark the exact drop location, and ensure vehicles can reach the site with room to turn and park; a firm, well-graded subgrade improves results for most materials. For long-term performance, establish proper drainage, compact in layers, and use an appropriate base before placing finish material. If you need guidance for a particular project type, our team can help with depth recommendations and prep tips.
Due to regional sourcing, color and texture can vary from photos; if something looks off, contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible so we can review options. Order changes are easier before a truck is dispatched, so call quickly to request modifications; we will do our best to accommodate but cannot guarantee all changes after processing. See your order confirmation for contact details and next steps.
Choose your preferred delivery date at checkout, confirm your zip code (78573) for local availability, and note any special access instructions in Order Notes. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed, and you should prepare the site so trucks can safely dump. For time-sensitive jobs, consider the next-day option (orders before noon CST) and contact our team for any questions.
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. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. 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. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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!
