Why DeSoto Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
DeSoto homeowners (city population of 49,802) are working in a market shaped by steady, manageable expansion — a growth rate of 0.70% annually that points to gradual but consistent demand for home improvements and infill projects rather than a construction boom. That steady growth, combined with a regional metro area population of 2.5+ million, means contractors and suppliers are available but homeowners still benefit from planning and choosing materials that fit long-term needs. With 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.80 inches in hardiness zone 8b, projects must balance sun exposure and periodic heavy rain. That translates into a need for materials that promote drainage and erosion control (base rock, sand, and engineered soils), hold up to UV and heat (mulches and stabilized surfaces), and support low-maintenance, water-wise landscaping. Homeowners increasingly choose permeable surfaces, proper base materials, and durable top layers to reduce long-term upkeep and avoid water-related damage.Popular Projects in DeSoto This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - DeSoto Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in DeSoto.
Homeowners and contractors in DeSoto commonly order a range of bulk aggregates such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone for patios, driveways, grading, and garden beds. Choice depends on function—drainage, stability, or appearance—so pick materials that match the project requirements rather than a single 'best' option. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary locally, so request notes at checkout if appearance matters.
DeSoto’s hot summers and periodic heavy rains mean materials need to resist washout and settling; proper base preparation and drainage are key. Local soils can be clayey and may hold water, so consider materials and installation methods that promote runoff and minimize seasonal shifting. Expect material behavior to vary with wet-dry cycles and plan for compaction and grading accordingly.
Decide first what you need: drainage and erosion control require angular, permeable materials and good slope design, while curb appeal favors uniform color and finish. Consider durability, maintenance, and how the material interacts with local soil and rainfall patterns. Contractors weigh cost per ton, ease of compaction, and long-term upkeep when selecting materials for each function.
Use a simple volume formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. As a rule of thumb, one cubic yard typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on the material, so convert volume to tons for ordering. For example, a 12 ft x 40 ft driveway at 4 inches requires about 6 cubic yards (roughly 7–10 tons depending on material).
Fall through early spring tends to be best for outdoor projects in DeSoto because temperatures are milder and there are fewer summer storms that can disrupt work. Avoid scheduling heavy deliveries right before forecasted storms to prevent washout or muddy conditions. If you need faster timing, next-day delivery is often available if ordered before noon CST, but weather can still affect scheduling.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle) and require clear access to the drop site; drivers will assess safety on arrival and may refuse unsafe placements. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST, with a minimum order of 3 tons. Request tailgate spreading at checkout but note drivers perform that service at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
Clear vehicles and obstacles, mark desired drop area, and check for overhead lines, irrigation heads, or soft ground that could block truck access. Compact and grade the base if the project requires stability or drainage, and measure carefully to avoid underordering. If access is limited, contact our team ahead of delivery to discuss alternative drop locations or staging.
Some DeSoto neighborhoods and HOAs have rules on driveway treatments, visible colors, and changes to curbs or front yards, and the city may require permits for significant driveway alterations or commercial work. Always check local city codes and your HOA guidelines before ordering materials or starting work. When in doubt, contact the city or your HOA early to avoid rework or fines.
Prices vary by material, order size, and delivery distance, but bulk pricing in the region typically ranges widely depending on material and quantity; contractors often receive lower per-ton rates for large orders. Hello Gravel provides upfront pricing and free delivery in many areas, so the best way to get an accurate cost is to check your zip code and request a quote. Keep in mind added services like tailgate spreading or special access may carry extra fees.
Materials that allow drainage and are properly compacted tend to last longer with less maintenance, while loose or fine materials may migrate or wash away during heavy rains. Regular tasks include regrading, topping up high-traffic areas, and keeping vegetation in check; UV and heat can also fade some colors over time. Plan periodic inspections after storms and budget for occasional replenishment depending on use and exposure.
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.
