Why Aurora Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Located in Aurora, West Texas, with a city population of 1.0+ million and a metro area of 2.7+ million, the region's steady growth (0.70% annually) and semi-arid climate shape local construction needs. With 228 sunny days each year, moderate annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b, homeowners and contractors are building durable outdoor spaces that handle both intense sun and episodic rain. That growth fuels demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, erosion control, patios, and drainage projects. Homeowners seek quality gravel to create low-maintenance surfaces, stabilize soil, and improve water runoff—materials that perform under local heat, sun exposure, and seasonal storms. In West Texas conditions, angular crushed gravel and well-graded mixes shed water, reduce erosion on slopes, and compact into stable bases suited for driveways, walkways, and garden beds. Because color, texture, and gradation reflect regional sourcing and local geology, selecting the right size and type for Aurora’s soil and sun exposure matters. Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and professional haulers, provides transparent pricing and scheduled delivery, and offers tools and expert guidance so you get the appropriate gravel for your project without the hauling headache.Popular Projects in Aurora This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Aurora gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Aurora.
In Aurora and West Texas, expect typical gravel delivery pricing to range roughly from $25 to $75 per ton depending on material type, local quarry supply, and distance from the supplier. Heavier or specialty materials (like decorative stone or washed rock) sit at the higher end, and delivery fees or minimums can affect the final price. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing for your zip code, and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
For Aurora's hot, dry conditions, crushed limestone or crushed rock are common choices because they compact well and handle vehicular traffic. Decomposed granite or stabilized mixes can offer a firmer finished surface, while pea gravel is attractive but tends to move and may be less suitable for driveways. Regional color and particle shape vary, so request local photos or samples when ordering.
Estimates using a typical density (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard): for a 20x20 driveway you need roughly 3.5 tons at 2", 5.2 tons at 3", and 6.9 tons at 4". For a 24x24 driveway you need about 5.0 tons at 2", 7.5 tons at 3", and 10.0 tons at 4". Always round up to account for compaction, grading, and your supplier's minimum order of 3 tons.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers that deliver in the Aurora area; specific spreading services depend on the truck type and local crews. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at the driver's discretion, but professional spreading/leveling crews or skid-steer operators are often hired separately and typically charge a flat fee or $40 to $80 per hour depending on job size. Request spreading at checkout and confirm details with the supplier before delivery.
Pricing can be shown per ton or per cubic yard; conversion depends on material density but a common rule is 1 cubic yard equals about 1.3 to 1.6 tons for typical gravels. If you see $35 per ton, that roughly converts to $45 to $56 per cubic yard; check the exact conversion for the stone you choose. Hello Gravel's calculator handles the conversion for you when you enter dimensions and select the material.
In Aurora's arid climate you can expect light to moderate maintenance: small driveways often need a top-up every 1 to 3 years, while high-traffic areas may need attention more often. Annual costs vary widely but many homeowners spend roughly $50 to $300 per year on replenishing small areas, depending on local gravel prices and how much material is needed. Regular grading and occasional fresh material will extend the surface life and reduce major repairs.
Gravel has the lowest initial cost and provides excellent drainage, but it needs more ongoing maintenance and can shift under heavy use. Asphalt costs more up front and provides a smoother, lower-maintenance surface but is less permeable and can soften in extreme heat without proper base work. Pavers have the highest upfront cost and best longevity and curb appeal, and can be permeable if you choose appropriate systems; gravel remains a popular, economical choice for rural Aurora properties.
Permit and HOA rules vary by location: some small Texas towns have minimal restrictions, while HOAs commonly set rules about front-yard materials and appearance. Before installing gravel, check with Aurora city offices for any driveway or stormwater permits and review your HOA covenants if you have one. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or your local code office for guidance before ordering material.
A good base starts with proper grading and removing unstable topsoil, then installing a geotextile fabric to separate the subgrade from the rock if your soil is clay or caliche. Compact a base layer of 3/4" minus or similar crushed base rock 3 to 6 inches thick depending on traffic, then add a 2 to 3 inch wearing course of finer gravel on top. In areas with poor drainage or expansive soils, increase base thickness and consider professional site evaluation.
Pea gravel and loose rounded gravels often need replenishing every 1 to 3 years because they shift and migrate under traffic. Crushed rock and crushed limestone that are well compacted and maintained can perform for 5 to 10 years or more before major replenishment is needed. Decomposed granite life varies by binder and use; stabilized mixes last longer but still require periodic upkeep based on traffic and maintenance.
Order online at Hello Gravel, enter your Aurora zip code to see local material options and pricing; the minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery requires 2 or more business days, next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and tailgate spreading can be requested but is performed at the driver's discretion. Contact our team at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 for help with material selection or scheduling.
Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and add 10% to 20% extra to cover compaction, grading loss, and slopes; steeper slopes may require more material for batter and runoff control. Account for base depth separately from the wearing course, and round up to meet your supplier's minimum order. If you have a complicated slope or drainage concerns, consider a site visit or contractor quote before ordering.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
