Why Shepherd Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shepherd has a population of 6,980 and sits within a metro region of 2.5+ million—conditions that point to steady, incremental demand for home improvement and small‑scale construction projects. A growth rate of 0.70% annually suggests gradual development rather than a building boom, so much of the local work is homeowner‑driven landscaping, repairs, and modest additions rather than large commercial builds. Shepherd’s climate—228 sunny days per year with 34.80 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of needs: materials must handle strong solar exposure, periodic heavy rain, and warm growing seasons. For homeowners that means selecting bulk supplies that balance drainage, erosion control, and heat resilience. Gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and landscape stone all play roles in making yards stable, low‑maintenance, and productive in this environment, while construction projects prioritize properly compacted base materials and adequate surface drainage.Popular Projects in Shepherd This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shepherd Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shepherd.
Delivery costs depend on distance, load size, and site access. Homeowners in West Texas commonly see broad material pricing roughly in the range of $15 to $60 per cubic yard, plus any delivery or fuel surcharge; exact totals vary by supplier. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may charge extra for next-day service, very small loads, or long hauls to remote properties. Contact our team or use the online quote tool to get a tailored estimate for your zip code (77371).
In West Texas’s heat, drought and occasional heavy rain, choose materials that drain well and resist movement when wet. Select from a range of aggregates—gravel, sand, dirt, stone—to build a stable base and a wearing surface appropriate for your use and budget. Proper installation, compaction, and a suitable base layer are often more important than the surface material alone. Our team can help you match material performance to your specific project and local conditions.
Plan projects for spring or fall to avoid the hottest summer months and seasonal storms, but deliveries are available year-round. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day service is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Allow extra lead time during rain or extreme heat, since site access and compaction work can be affected by weather.
Many local suppliers and haulers will deliver to rural addresses near Shepherd, but longer hauls or difficult access can incur additional charges. Hello Gravel’s minimum is 3 tons for most areas; some suppliers may have higher minimums for very remote locations. Provide clear access instructions, gate codes, and photos if your property is off a main road to help ensure an accurate quote and successful delivery.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the desired depth in inches. Convert to cubic yards with the formula: (area in ft^2 x depth in ft) / 27. Material weight varies by type, so use our online calculator or contact our team for a conversion to tons and a recommended overage for compaction and settling.
Local rules and HOA guidelines can affect driveway materials, curb cuts, and delivery placement, so check with your city, county, or homeowners association before ordering. Some rural roads or private drives have weight limits or require permits for heavy trucks; the hauler may need to coordinate with local authorities. If you have questions, our sales team can help you identify potential permitting or HOA considerations for your address.
Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks that need clear, stable access and turning room. Narrow driveways, low-hanging branches, soft shoulders, or weight-restricted bridges can prevent trucks from reaching the drop point and may require a shorter haul or special equipment. Share site photos and access details at checkout so we can match the right truck and plan for any extra charges or alternate drop locations.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request the service at checkout and the driver will assess safety on arrival. This service is not guaranteed and may not be possible on steep slopes, soft ground, or confined spaces. For precise spreading, consider hiring a landscaper or contractor to follow the delivery.
Because materials are regionally sourced, color, texture and gradation can vary from photos or samples. You can add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed. If you have concerns about delivered material, contact customer service promptly and we will work to resolve the issue per our policies.
Contact our team as soon as possible—the sooner we hear from you the easier it is to modify or cancel before the supplier or hauler is dispatched. Changes may be limited once the order is in process and are not guaranteed, but we will make our best effort to accommodate requests. Review the order confirmation for specific timelines and contact information for faster handling.
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.
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.

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!
