Why Salado Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Salado is a small but active community with a population of 10,920, and its steady 0.70% annual growth points to consistent, manageable demand for home improvement and construction projects rather than a sudden building boom. With 228 sunny days a year, 34.80 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners balance strong solar exposure with occasional heavy showers. That combination drives interest in outdoor living upgrades, erosion control, and reliable driveway and foundation bases — projects that use a range of bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and mulch. At the same time, the broader metro market of 2.5+ million residents supports a robust network of suppliers and contractors, so homeowners can access a variety of aggregate options sized and sourced for local conditions.Popular Projects in Salado This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Salado Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Salado.
Start by matching the material to the job: think about expected traffic, drainage needs, desired look, and budget. In Salado, consider local climate and how materials sourced nearby perform here; gravel, sand, dirt, stone each behave differently for compaction, drainage, and appearance. Use our online material calculator and quiz or contact our team for a recommendation based on your specific project.
Materials that allow water to pass through and a properly graded base work best for drainage and erosion control. Choosing the right size and mix from the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group, plus good site grading and simple edge controls, will reduce runoff and erosion in West Texas conditions. If you have steep slopes or concentrated flow, consider consulting a local contractor or our team for design suggestions.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards (area x depth / 324) and to tons using rough density estimates for the material type. Our website has a material calculator to simplify this and the minimum order is generally 3 tons. If you’re unsure, send project dimensions to our team for a quick check.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can select a preferred delivery date at checkout and we'll confirm scheduling; availability depends on local haulers and workload. Keep in mind rural access or special drop locations can affect timing.
Deliveries are usually made by tri-axle dump trucks or similar commercial trucks. Many rural Salado properties can be serviced, but limited road width, low-hanging branches, gates, or soft ground may restrict access; provide site notes or photos at checkout so the hauler can plan. If access is limited, ask about offloading options or alternate drop locations when you order.
Price depends on the material type, required quantity, distance from local supplier, delivery fee, and seasonal demand. Minimums, such as our 3-ton minimum, and optional services like faster delivery or requested spreading add to cost. We show transparent pricing up front and our team can provide a detailed quote for larger or repeat orders.
Yes, contractors and commercial customers can often receive volume pricing, scheduled repeat deliveries, and dedicated coordination for large jobs. Contact our sales team to set up contractor terms, discuss bulk discounts, and arrange recurring deliveries or staging plans. All commercial accounts are handled through our normal quoting and scheduling process.
Clear the proposed drop area of vehicles, landscaping, and obstacles and mark the desired dump location with flags or cones. Check for hidden utilities, measure gate heights, and ensure access for large trucks; move fragile items and protect finished surfaces. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout and note that drivers will assess feasibility on arrival.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. You can request spreading at checkout so the driver is aware, but plan for the possibility that you may need to spread or hire labor separately. We encourage providing clear site notes to improve the chance it can be done.
Materials vary naturally by region because suppliers source locally, so color, texture, and particle mix can differ from images. For the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group, these regional variations are normal and reflect local geology and production methods. You can add appearance preferences in your order notes and contact us if the material seems inconsistent with your expectations.
Yes, many HOAs and municipalities have rules about visible driveways, front-yard landscaping, and drainage that may limit certain materials or colors. Check Salado ordinances and your HOA covenants before ordering so your choice meets local requirements. If in doubt, our team can help you plan a compliant material selection and suggest alternatives.
Hot, dry summers in the Salado area can cause fine materials to become dusty and loose, while occasional freezes can affect poorly compacted surfaces. Choosing the right particle size, proper compaction, and an appropriate base layer will improve long-term performance for the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group. Ask our team for material recommendations tailored to Salado’s climate and your project's use.
Contact our customer service as soon as possible—changes are easier to accommodate before the order is dispatched. We will do our best to modify orders, but changes after trucks are scheduled may be limited. For full details on cancellations and potential fees, check our order policy or contact our team.
Most of our partners focus on supplying and delivering bulk materials, but some local suppliers or independent contractors in the Salado area may offer installation or spreading as a separate service. Hello Gravel manages ordering and delivery; if you need installation, ask us and we can share options or recommend local contractors when available.
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.
