Gravel: Built For West Texas Drainage • Next-Day Gravel Delivery When Available
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Fabens Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fabens has a city population of 8,957 and sits within a West Texas region that is part of a 2.5+ million metro area, growing at a steady rate of 0.70% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a plant hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners balance bright, dry conditions with occasional heavy showers. That mix drives demand for reliable, permeable surfaces—think driveways, pickup areas, walkways, and erosion-control berms—so residents look for aggregates that manage runoff, limit mud, and provide a stable base for landscaping or small structures. In a community transitioning between rural and suburban development, quality gravel helps keep projects low-maintenance and long-lasting while matching the regional geology and soil conditions. Gravel performs well in Fabens’ climate because it promotes quick drainage during the region’s periodic rains and resists deterioration under frequent sun exposure. For most yard and driveway projects, homeowners choose washed, angular gravel to improve compaction and reduce shifting on local soils. Hello Gravel connects Fabens customers with nearby suppliers and professional dump-truck fleets, offering clear pricing, a minimum order of 3 tons, and scheduled delivery options (standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day delivery when available for orders placed before noon CST). We source locally so material color and texture reflect the area’s geology and our team helps you pick the right gravel for drainage, appearance, and load-bearing needs.Popular Projects in Fabens This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fabens gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fabens.
Delivered gravel prices in the Fabens area vary by material and distance, but expect roughly $25 to $60 per ton (about $35 to $80 per cubic yard) for common crushed stone or gravel. Caliche is often at the lower end while decorative or washed rock is higher. Final price depends on material type, delivery distance, truck size, and whether you need spreading or special placement; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery has an extra fee.
In hot, dry Fabens, crushed limestone and compactable caliche work well for driveways because they compact and resist rutting. Decomposed granite and smaller crushed stone are good for pathways and xeriscaping; river rock looks nice but can shift and is harder to compact for driveways. Expect regional variation, so ask for local-sourced options that match El Paso County geology.
Use these approximate ranges based on local gravel densities (1.4-1.6 tons per cubic yard). For a 12x30 driveway: 2" = about 3.1-3.6 tons, 3" = about 4.7-5.3 tons, 4" = about 6.2-7.1 tons. For a 14x50 driveway: 2" = about 6.0-6.9 tons, 3" = about 9.1-10.4 tons, 4" = about 12.1-13.8 tons. Note Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons, so thin coverings on small areas may fall at or below the minimum.
Local suppliers commonly quote per-ton rates with reduced per-ton pricing for full truckloads (10-16 tons) and may add delivery or short-load fees for small orders. Many haulers in the El Paso County area have minimums or flat delivery charges for short hauls; typical small-order delivery fees might range from about $50 to $150 depending on distance. Always confirm whether spreading is included—the driver may do tailgate spreading at their discretion, but extra labor can cost more.
Fabens clay soils can hold water and become slick after rare heavy rains, while caliche layers can limit drainage. Gravel improves surface drainage and reduces tracking compared with bare clay, but without a compacted base or geotextile it can sink, rut, or wash during storms. For best results, grade the area, use a compacted base or fabric, and add edge restraints to control erosion where runoff concentrates.
Common stabilizers near Fabens include geotextile fabric underlay, geogrid or plastic grids, and resin or polymer binders. Rough cost estimates: landscape fabric $0.20-$0.50 per sq ft; plastic/geo-grid $1-$3 per sq ft installed; resin-bound or polymer stabilization $3-$12+ per sq ft depending on product and prep work. Grid and fabric are cost-effective for driveways; resin systems give a dust-free surface but cost more and require professional installation.
A well-built gravel driveway in the arid Fabens climate can function well for 5-20 years, depending on thickness, base preparation, and traffic. Expect periodic maintenance: annual grading to relevel, topping up 0.5"-1" of gravel every few years, and occasional edging repairs after heavy rains. Budget for occasional replenishment and grading costs—small homeowner maintenance projects often run $100-$500 per year depending on size and whether you hire help.
Gravel typically has the lowest upfront cost and fastest installation, often around $1-$3 per sq ft for materials and delivery in this region, while asphalt is mid-range ($3-$6 per sq ft), concrete higher ($6-$10 per sq ft), and pavers the most expensive ($10-$20+ per sq ft). Long-term, gravel requires more regular topping and grading, asphalt needs periodic sealcoating, and concrete or pavers need less frequent maintenance but cost more to repair. Choose gravel if you want low initial cost and easy access to materials; choose pavement if you prefer lower routine maintenance and a smoother surface.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
