#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
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.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.

Why Venus Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Venus has a city population of 14,370 and is part of a larger metro area of 2.5+ million, and its steady growth rate of 0.70% annually points to ongoing demand for both new construction and homeowner renovations. That modest, consistent expansion usually translates to incremental building, infill projects, and more landscaping upgrades rather than a sudden building boom. Local climate and geography — including 228 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 34.80 inches, and placement in hardiness zone 8b — shape which materials perform best: homeowners need durable aggregates and soils that handle strong sun, resist UV-related breakdown, and manage periodic rain. For projects from grading and drainage to garden beds and driveways, quality bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, stone, mulch, and mixes) matter because they control runoff, support plant health, limit maintenance, and extend the life of hardscape installations.Popular Projects in Venus This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Venus Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Venus.
Homeowners and contractors in Venus commonly use a range of aggregates for driveways and yards, including gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. Choose based on purpose: load-bearing surfaces need denser mixes, landscaping needs visually compatible textures, and drainage areas need more permeable materials. Local suppliers often offer regionally sourced blends that reflect West Texas geology, so expect color and texture variation.
Venus' hot, dry summers and occasional heavy rains influence compaction, dust, and erosion. In dry heat, materials can loosen and create dust; in heavy storms, poorly drained areas can wash material away. Plan for proper base preparation, drainage, and occasional top-ups to maintain appearance and function.
Many lots in the area have clay or compacted soils that hold water or shed it unpredictably, so check for low spots and runoff paths. Good grading and drainage features, like a slight slope or a trench, help materials perform better and reduce erosion. If you have steep areas or heavy clay, stronger base layers and frequent maintenance are recommended.
Spring and fall are the easiest seasons for deliveries in Venus because temperatures are milder and heavy rain is less common. Summer deliveries are possible but plan for early-morning drops to avoid extreme heat and increased dust. Always check the short-term forecast before your delivery window and consider the 2+ business day standard delivery timing.
Hello Gravel typically requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by distance, supplier, and load size; many areas qualify for free delivery, but you should check your zip code for exact pricing. Exact fees and availability are shown at checkout once your address is entered.
Deliveries are usually made by professional dump truck fleets, commonly tri-axle trucks that carry multiple tons per load. Truck type affects where material can be dropped—tight driveways or soft ground may limit how close the truck can get, so plan your drop location in advance. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout but do not expect guaranteed spreading service.
Calculate area (length x width) in feet, convert depth to feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons using the material's approximate weight; a common rule of thumb is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on density. For guidance: 2-3 inches is common for decorative yards, 3-6 inches for paths, and 4-8 inches for driveways—adjust for use and local compaction needs.
For erosion control and low-maintenance yards, stable, permeable aggregates and properly contoured grades are most effective—think mixes that allow water to infiltrate while resisting washout. Combining a small base layer with larger, interlocking stone on slopes or retaining areas helps reduce movement. Also consider vegetation and hardscape features to minimize exposed soil and reduce upkeep.
Many homeowners find that HOAs or city codes have rules on driveway materials, front-yard coverings, and visible landscaping, so check your HOA covenants and the City of Venus permitting rules before ordering. Some neighborhoods restrict colors, crushed stone vs. solid pavers, or require permits for new driveways or extensive grading. If in doubt, contact local officials or your HOA before purchasing materials.
Contractors typically account for material quantity and unit cost, delivery fees and truck access limitations, base preparation and excavation, labor for installation or spreading, and any drainage or permitting costs. They also factor in seasonal availability, potential hauling distance from regional suppliers, and contingency for extra material due to compaction or waste. Ask for a clear line-item estimate so you can compare material and delivery costs separately.
Start by defining the project's purpose: load-bearing, decorative, drainage, or erosion control. Consider site conditions—slope, soil type, and access—and local climate effects like heat and occasional heavy rain. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and consult the sales team for recommendations based on your zip code, and schedule delivery with enough lead time for any prep work.

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.

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.
