Why Electra Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Electra, West Texas (city population 2,230) sits inside a larger West Texas metro area of 2.7+ million and is experiencing modest growth (0.18% annually). The town’s semi-arid geography and climate—251/year sunny days, 28.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 7b—shape homeowner needs for low-maintenance, weather‑resistant landscaping and site work. Projects from rural driveways and ranch roads to foundation backfill and erosion control demand aggregates that perform in high sun, infrequent heavy rain, and sandy or caliche-affected soils. Gravel’s permeability, load-bearing capacity, and ability to reduce dust make it a common choice for Electra properties, where predictable material performance and reliable delivery are essential for both DIY homeowners and local contractors.Popular Projects in Electra This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Electra gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Electra.
Common options in Electra reflect West Texas geology and include crushed limestone or caliche-based gravel, 3/4" crushed stone for driveways, pea gravel for walkways, and rounded river rock for decorative uses. Colors are typically tan, brown, and earth tones due to local quarry materials. If you need a specific look, add color preferences in Order Notes or request a sample.
Pea gravel is small, smooth, and packs well for walkways and play areas, while river gravel has larger, rounded stones and is mainly decorative for garden beds or accents. In Electra, pea gravel is better where you need a stable walking surface; river rock looks nicer but can shift more underfoot. For driveways or high-traffic areas, choose crushed stone instead of rounded gravel for better compaction.
Typical finished depths are 1" to 2" for walkways, 2" to 3" for patios, and 3" to 6" for driveways depending on vehicle use and base layers. Calculate cubic yards as (area in ft2 * depth in ft) / 27, then convert to tons using the material density or ask us for help. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so plan quantities around that.
A 50 lb bag of pea gravel is about 0.5 cubic foot. That covers roughly 6 sq ft at 1" depth, about 3 sq ft at 2" depth, and about 2 sq ft at 3" depth. For larger jobs in Electra, bulk delivery is much more cost effective than bagged materials.
Buying bulk and having it delivered by dump truck is almost always the most economical option per ton in Electra. Picking up directly from a nearby quarry can be cheaper if you have a truck and trailer. Retail bags from big-box stores are the most expensive on a per-ton basis, so use bags only for very small projects.
Prices vary by material type, haul distance, and seasonal demand; in West Texas basic landscape gravel often falls within a moderate local range, but exact pricing changes. For an accurate price for your address in Electra, request a quote through Hello Gravel so we can include delivery and the 3-ton minimum. We will provide transparent pricing and available delivery dates for your zip code.
Hello Gravel serves most areas nationwide through local suppliers; check your zip code to confirm availability in Electra. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries typically arrive by contracted tri-axle dump truck; tailgate spreading may be possible but is at the driver’s discretion.
Yes, gravel can shift over time, especially on slopes or where rainwater flows; West Texas' occasional heavy rains can move loose material. Use proper edging, a compacted base, and appropriate stone sizes to reduce movement; expect to regrade or add topping material periodically. Good drainage planning will reduce maintenance needs.
Yes. Because we source regionally, gravel in Electra will reflect local geology, so color and texture can vary from photos or samples from other regions. If color is important, add preferences in your order notes or ask us for a local sample before ordering. We will note any obvious regional differences when we confirm your order.
Estimate tons by dividing your budget by the per-ton delivered price (tons = budget / price per ton). For example, at $45 per ton delivered, a $1,000 budget would buy about 22 tons. Contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote including delivery, since prices vary by material and distance to Electra.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. If spreading is critical, consider hiring local labor or requesting a quote for spreading before delivery.
Gravel theft is uncommon, but leaving a pile unattended in a visible public area can increase risk of accidental removal or disputes. Have material delivered directly onto your private property, place clear instructions in Order Notes, and consider supervising delivery or posting temporary signs. If you have concerns about placement or security, contact our team before delivery.
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.

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.
