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.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
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.

Why Richardson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Richardson has a city population of 100,080 and sits inside a fast-growing regional economy with a Dallas-Fort Worth metro area population of 2.5+ million. That steady growth — roughly 0.70% annually — translates into ongoing demand for residential and light-commercial projects, from new yards and driveways to backyard renovations and small additions. The local climate (228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b) means materials must perform under long sun exposure and handle periodic heavy rains. For homeowners that means selecting bulk materials that balance drainage, erosion control, and heat tolerance — everything from base materials that stabilize driveways to soil blends and mulches that preserve moisture and protect plantings. In a growing market, consistent, locally sourced aggregates and reliable deliveries matter: they help projects stay on schedule and avoid rework caused by improper material choices.Popular Projects in Richardson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Richardson Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Richardson.
Start by matching the material to the function: choose durable, compactable materials for load-bearing areas and more decorative options for patios and beds. In Richardson's climate, consider drainage and heat resistance when selecting between gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends; higher-traffic areas usually need a firmer base and better compaction. Use our material quiz or contact our team for help selecting the best option for your specific project.
Common projects fall into these ranges: small walkways and garden beds usually need 1 to 3 cubic yards, patios and small patios 3 to 6 cubic yards, and driveways 5 to 15 cubic yards depending on size and depth. Exact quantity depends on area and desired depth, so use our material calculator or provide dimensions to get a precise estimate. Remember to account for compaction and waste when ordering a final amount.
We work with local suppliers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to offer standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout and we will confirm scheduling and access details before dispatch. Delivery availability and fees can vary by zip code, so check your zip code on the site or contact our team.
Hot summers can cause some materials to loosen or settle faster, while heavy rain increases erosion and drainage issues, so pick materials and depths that handle local weather. Schedule major placements in drier months when possible and allow time for compaction between layers to reduce washout. For rain-prone periods, prioritize permeable materials and proper grading to move water away from structures.
Richardson soils can vary, but common concerns include poor drainage and clayey subsoils that hold water; these conditions affect stability and longevity. Plan for proper grading, a compacted base, and possibly geotextile fabric or a drainage layer to improve performance when using gravel, sand, dirt, stone. If you have standing water or heavy runoff, consult a contractor or our team to choose a material and base that address those conditions.
Many Richardson projects require checking local building codes and HOA rules, especially for driveway replacements or adding large areas of impermeable surface. Contact the City of Richardson and your HOA before ordering to confirm any permit, setback, or material restrictions. Getting approvals early helps avoid delays and potential rework after delivery.
Factors that affect cost include the material type, quantity, delivery distance, and site access; Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and offers transparent pricing online. Small projects often run a few hundred dollars, while medium projects can be several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on scope and materials. Use our quote tool or contact the sales team for a more accurate estimate for your address and project.
Good results start with removing vegetation, grading to proper slope, and installing a compacted subbase in layers with compaction between lifts. For most projects you will add the chosen material in uniform layers, compact or rake as needed, and use edge restraints for walkways or patios. For complex or structural work, consider hiring a contractor; our team can advise on typical prep steps for your project type.
Compare the end use: choose materials with good compaction and load-bearing capacity for driveways, more permeable mixes for drainage areas, and finer, stable material for patios or pathways. Consider maintenance, appearance, and budget—some options need periodic replenishing while others are longer lasting. Our guidance focuses on matching performance needs to material characteristics rather than a single 'best' product.
Confirm truck access, clear obstacles, and pick a staging area that can handle a dump truck; provide directions and contact info at checkout. Drivers deliver with contracted fleets and may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed, so plan for having tools or labor available if you need material spread. If street blocking or special placement is needed, check local rules and let us know in advance so we can coordinate.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible—changes are easier to accommodate before the order is dispatched but may be limited after that point. If there is an issue with your delivery or material, contact us promptly and we will work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it; see our refund and issue-resolution guidance for details. Keep order details and photos handy when reporting problems to help speed up the process.
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.
