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.
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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.

Why Elsa Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elsa is a small but steadily developing community with a population of 8,228. A growth rate of 0.70% annually points to modest, consistent demand for homes, renovations, and landscape upgrades rather than a sudden construction boom; that steady expansion typically means more incremental projects—driveway repairs, patio installs, garden beds, and small additions—rather than large-scale development. With a metro area population of 2.5+ million nearby, supply chains and contractor resources are accessible, so homeowners can source a range of aggregates and soils locally. Elsa’s hardiness zone 8b, 228/year of sunny days, and annual rainfall of 34.80 inches combine to shape material needs: sun and heat increase UV exposure and drying, while moderate rainfall requires reliable drainage and erosion control. For homeowners this means choosing durable bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—that balance permeability, compaction, and longevity. Quality materials help reduce maintenance, improve drainage, and protect plantings in this specific climate and geography.Popular Projects in Elsa This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elsa Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Elsa.
Start by matching material performance to the project: think about drainage, load-bearing, and appearance. Consider regional-sourced options such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone which will reflect local geology and perform well in West Texas heat. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team with project dimensions for recommendations.
High sun and heat, occasional heavy rains, and dry seasonal winds affect settling, color fading, and drainage. Choose materials that resist dust and compact well for driveways or that allow water to drain quickly for landscaping — gravel, sand, dirt, stone choices vary by these needs. We can help pick options that balance durability and maintenance in Elsa's conditions.
Measure the area in square feet and the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards; our online calculator can do this for you. As a rule of thumb, common depths are 2 inches for top dressing, 3-4 inches for garden beds, and 4-6 inches for driveways. Orders must meet our minimum (3 tons) so round up to cover compaction and any slope or grading.
Spring and fall offer milder temperatures for easier installation, while the hottest months can make handling and compaction harder and the wettest times can delay work. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days lead time, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Plan ahead for seasonal demand and allow extra time if you need site prep or permits.
Verify truck access, turning radius, and overhead clearance so a tri-axle dump truck can reach the drop point safely. Check for any local permitting requirements, HOA rules, or underground utilities and mark lines before delivery. If access is tight, note it in order notes — drivers may not be able to perform tailgate spreading and will assess safety on arrival.
We connect you with local suppliers and contracted haulers who deliver by dump truck, often with free delivery in many areas; standard delivery needs 2+ business days. Next-day delivery can be arranged for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and costs can vary by distance, load size, and access. Minimum order size is 3 tons, and rural deliveries may carry extra fees depending on supplier and road conditions.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading, but this is at their discretion and depends on site conditions and safety. Request spreading at checkout and describe the drop area, but do not rely on guaranteed spreading or precision placement. If precise grading or spreading is needed, consider hiring a local contractor for post-delivery work.
Consider long-term maintenance, appearance, and function: some materials give a low-maintenance, permanent look while others offer organic benefits like moisture retention. Think about color, texture, how the material compacts or shifts, and how it handles West Texas sun and occasional storms; review a range of regional materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone to find the right balance. Our team can suggest options that meet both aesthetic and performance goals.
Confirm material specs, availability, lead times, and delivery access for each site, and ask about regional variations since local geology affects consistency. Verify minimum order sizes, truck type, and whether next-day delivery is possible for your timeline; also discuss staging, unloading points, and any required permits. We provide upfront pricing and can coordinate multiple deliveries to meet project schedules.
Natural aggregates vary by region, so color and texture may differ from online images; this is common with regionally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, stone. If you're concerned, add color preferences in Order Notes or request photos of available loads when possible. Contact customer service promptly if the material does not match reasonable expectations so we can help resolve the issue and explain next steps.
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.
