Why Sandia Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sandia is a small but growing community with a city population of 3,380 and connections to a broader metro area population of 2.5+ million. A steady growth rate of 0.70% annually points to gradual but persistent demand for home improvements, infill construction, and property upgrades rather than rapid boom‑style development. Local climate and geography — including 228 sunny days annually, an annual rainfall of 34.80 inches, and hardiness zone 8b — mean homeowners prioritize materials that manage heat, shed occasional heavy rains, and support water-wise planting. These conditions favor durable base materials, well-graded soils, and moisture-retaining landscape products that reduce maintenance and protect slopes and driveways. As Sandia’s residential and regional development patterns evolve, accessible, quality bulk supplies become key to successful projects, from grading and drainage to planting and surface finishes.Popular Projects in Sandia This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sandia Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sandia.
Start by identifying the function: load-bearing surfaces need compactable material, decorative paths need consistent size and color, and drainage requires open-graded mixes. Because local suppliers source materials regionally, consider how West Texas soils and local gravel, sand, dirt, stone perform in dry conditions and with seasonal rains. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project and site access.
A good starting point is a screened topsoil blended with organic matter to improve water retention and nutrients. A common guideline is roughly 70% topsoil to 30% compost for beds, but you may adjust more organic matter for sandy or clay-prone local soils. Consider local climate: in West Texas you may need more organic material and regular watering to maintain soil health.
Measure the area (length x width x depth) in feet, convert cubic feet to cubic yards (divide by 27), then convert cubic yards to tons using the material-specific factor. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.3–1.7 tons depending on whether you choose gravel, sand, dirt, or stone, so check the product details or use Hello Gravel's calculator. Always add 5–10% extra for compaction and grading waste.
Large-order cost depends on the material, local supplier rates, and delivery fees; get an accurate estimate by multiplying the per-yard or per-ton price by the quantity and adding delivery. Because rates vary across West Texas, use Hello Gravel's online quote tool or contact our sales team to get a local, line-item estimate. For planning, ask about minimum orders, discounts for bulk quantities, and any fees for difficult delivery conditions.
The 70/30 rule usually means 70% topsoil mixed with 30% compost or organic matter to create a well-draining, nutrient-rich growing medium. It is a helpful starting point, but you may want more compost if your local soil is very sandy or more structure if it is clay-heavy. Test a small area or consult local extension recommendations to fine-tune mixes for Sandia's climate.
Quantities per truck vary by vehicle, but typical tri-axle dump trucks used by Hello Gravel deliver roughly 8–12 cubic yards per load, which converts to about 11–20 tons depending on material density. Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; always check your zip code for availability. Drivers will assess site access on arrival and may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed.
You can check availability for your Sandia zip code on the Hello Gravel site and schedule a preferred delivery date at checkout. If you need to change an order, contact customer service as soon as possible; changes are easier before dispatch but may not always be possible once a truck is assigned. Remember the minimum order is 3 tons and delivery windows are coordinated with contracted local haulers.
Because Hello Gravel uses regional suppliers, color, texture, and sizing reflect local geology and can vary from photos. You may add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes at checkout, and we will do our best to match them, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed. If appearance is critical, request a sample or speak with our team before ordering.
Ensure an unobstructed access route and a clear drop zone so a tri-axle dump truck can safely enter and offload; measure overhead clearance and confirm driveway strength if applicable. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be done by drivers at their discretion; request it at checkout but understand it is not guaranteed. For tricky sites, ask about alternative drop locations or hire local help to spread and finish the material after delivery.
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.
Absolutely! Try our aggregate quiz here: https://hellogravel.com/aggregate-quiz/ Alternatively,you can call us, chat with us (box in the bottom right corner of the website), or email us!
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!
