Gravel: Built For West Texas Drainage • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Scheduling
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 Fairfield Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fairfield is a small but growing West Texas community with a city population of 6,470 and access to a larger metro area of 2.5+ million residents. Local development reflects steady expansion at a 0.70% annual growth rate as homeowners and builders respond to new housing and landscape projects. Fairfield’s climate—228 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—favors outdoor projects but also drives specific material needs: good drainage, erosion control, and heat- and sun-resistant surfaces. That combination means residents frequently need reliable aggregates for driveways, low-maintenance yards, drainage swales, and base layers for patios and sheds. Homeowners choose quality gravel to control runoff, reduce dust, and create durable walking and driving surfaces that stand up to Fairfield’s sunny, moderate-rain conditions.Popular Projects in Fairfield This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fairfield gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fairfield.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and distance from local suppliers. Expect material prices roughly $30 to $70 per ton for common gravels in West Texas, with delivery sometimes free in nearby areas or an added fee for long hauls or next-day service. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows final pricing and any delivery fees at checkout once we confirm supplier and zip code. For a precise quote, check your zip code on our site or contact our team.
In West Texas, the most common choices are crushed limestone (good compaction and stability), crushed stone or crusher-run (a mix of stone and fines for a strong base), and pea gravel (decorative but less stable). Crushed limestone and crusher-run are preferred for driveways and farm roads because they hold up better under heat, drought, and vehicle traffic. Pea gravel is popular for paths and decorative areas where drainage and appearance matter more than heavy-load performance.
Fairfield’s heat and occasional heavy rain mean you should choose angular, well-graded material that compacts well (like crushed limestone) to resist washout and rutting. Expect to do regular maintenance: regrading after heavy storms, topping up low spots after dry-season settling, and checking drainage to prevent washouts during flash floods. Edge restraint and proper slope help keep gravel in place during heavy rains.
Tonnage depends on gravel density, but a practical range for common materials in West Texas is 1.3 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. That equals approximately: 2" depth = 0.0080–0.0099 tons per sq ft, 3" depth = 0.0120–0.0148 tons per sq ft, 4" depth = 0.0160–0.0198 tons per sq ft. To estimate your project, multiply the per-sq-ft number by the number of square feet, then round up and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers serving Fairfield and the surrounding West Texas region. Deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck with a 3-ton minimum; standard delivery takes 2+ business days and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. We confirm supplier availability and delivery timing when you enter your zip code at checkout or call our team.
For heavy-use driveways and farm roads in Fairfield, a well-compacted base of crusher-run or 3/4" minus crushed limestone is a reliable choice because it binds and resists rutting. Start with a compacted sub-base, install geotextile fabric if the ground is soft, and finish with a wearing layer (3/4" crushed rock or similar) at 3–4 inches. Regular grading and occasional reapplication of material will extend performance under farm traffic.
Crushed limestone is a type of gravel that compacts well and is commonly used for durable driveways; generic loose gravel like pea stone is cheaper but less stable. Asphalt has higher upfront cost but provides a smoother, lower-maintenance surface for heavy traffic. Gravel (especially crushed limestone or crusher-run) is often the most cost-effective for rural Fairfield properties, while asphalt is chosen for driveways needing a paved look and easier snow/weed control.
Regulations vary: Freestone County often allows residential gravel driveways without a building permit, but road approaches, culverts, and commercial entrances may require county approval or permits. Many HOAs have specific material or appearance rules, so check your HOA guidelines before installing gravel. When in doubt, contact Freestone County offices and your HOA to confirm any requirements before ordering material.
Common stabilization methods for Fairfield conditions include geotextile fabric under the base, crusher-run base layers, and plastic grid pavers or permeable grid systems for high-traffic or parking areas. Fabric plus a properly compacted base is usually the most cost-effective approach for rural driveways; grid pavers and polymer stabilizers cost more but reduce maintenance in high-traffic or erosion-prone zones. Choose based on budget, traffic load, and susceptibility to washout from flash rains.
With proper construction (compacted base, good drainage), a gravel driveway in Fairfield will perform well for several years, but expect to add fresh gravel every 3–5 years on average and perform minor grading annually. Inspect and regrade low spots after heavy storms, replenish worn areas with 1/2" to 1" of new material as needed, and keep drainage ditches and culverts clear to prevent washouts. Regular, small maintenance jobs are cheaper and more effective than major repairs after severe erosion.

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.
