Why Gainesville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gainesville, West Texas, is a growing community of 26,528 residents located inside a metro region of 2.5+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually, demand for outdoor improvements and small-scale construction is rising as homeowners update driveways, yards, and drainage systems. The local climate — 228/year sunny days, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b — combines long, hot stretches with periodic heavy rain, which affects soil stability and runoff. That mix makes reliable aggregates essential: homeowners look for gravel that improves drainage, resists washout, compacts well under traffic, and complements local soil and color driven by regional geology. Contractors also need predictable supply to keep schedules on track. Gravel is especially practical in Gainesville’s conditions because its permeability helps manage the area’s 34.25 inches of rain while lighter, locally sourced aggregates handle heat across 228/year sunny days without trapping water. Properly graded gravel reduces erosion on slopes, creates stable driveways and patio bases, and supports low-maintenance xeriscaping suited to hardiness zone 8b. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, offering transparent pricing, a minimum order of 3 tons, standard delivery in 2+ business days, and next-day options when available, so homeowners get the right material on a schedule that fits their project.Popular Projects in Gainesville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gainesville gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Gainesville.
In Gainesville, common base gravels usually range about $20 to $45 per ton ($28 to $63 per cubic yard), while decorative screened gravels often run $40 to $100 per ton ($56 to $140 per cubic yard). Delivery and haul fees can vary by supplier and distance; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and many areas offer free delivery, though next-day or long-haul deliveries may add fees.
Common local options include crushed limestone (good all-purpose base and driveways), crushed rock or crusher run (excellent for compacted bases), pea gravel and river rock (decorative and for light drainage), and angular 3/4" rock (best for driveways and compaction). Use crushed limestone or crusher run for driveway bases, washed stone or gravel for drainage trenches, and pea or decorative screened gravel for planting beds and walkways.
Yes; Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and contracted haulers in the Gainesville area who deliver by dump truck. Minimum order sizes commonly start at 3 tons (Hello Gravel minimum), though some suppliers or contractors may require 3 to 5 tons; spreading is sometimes offered at checkout but is performed at the driver’s discretion with no guarantees.
Measure length and width in feet and decide your compacted depth in inches, then use: cubic yards = (length x width x depth in feet) / 27. Convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by an estimated material weight (about 1.2–1.6 tons per cubic yard); a common rule for crushed limestone is ~1.4 tons per cubic yard and add 10–15% for compaction and waste.
For a typical residential driveway in Gainesville, aim for a 4 to 6 inch compacted driving surface of crushed gravel over a well-graded subbase; for heavier vehicles, increase to 6 to 8 inches. Proper compaction (firm, even surface using a plate compactor) and good grading with a slight crown and edge restraints help prevent washouts during heavy rains.
Hot, dry spells increase dust and loosening of fines, while heavy rains can cause washouts and migration of material. Choose angular, well-graded base materials for stability, add edging and proper drainage to control runoff, and plan for periodic regrading and topping after storm events; dust control products or polymer stabilizers can help on high-use drives.
A properly installed crushed stone driveway can last 5 to 15 years between major repairs, while pea gravel and decorative gravels often need more frequent topping and edging maintenance. Expect annual light maintenance (regrading, topping a couple of inches) and occasional spot replenishment; overall maintenance cost varies by material and traffic but is generally lower upfront than paving and higher over time for labor.
Yes; many HOAs and some city or county regulations have rules about front-yard materials, colors, or drainage that could affect gravel projects. Check local Gainesville city ordinances and any HOA covenants before installation, and if in doubt contact Hello Gravel or the city planning department for guidance on common drainage and material restrictions.
Screened decorative gravels in the Gainesville area typically cost noticeably more than crushed base materials, with decorative options commonly $40 to $100 per ton versus $20 to $45 per ton for base gravel. Decorative gravels are usually available locally but color and texture vary by regional source; order a sample or specify color preferences in Order Notes at checkout.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is easy to install, but requires routine maintenance like regrading and topping. Asphalt offers a mid-range cost with smoother driving surface and less frequent maintenance, while concrete is most expensive upfront but gives long life and low year-to-year maintenance. Consider budget, expected traffic, local drainage, and HOA/city rules when deciding, and get quotes for each option.
Measure the area and target compacted depth, then use our material calculator or request help from our team to get the right tonnage; remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Choose delivery date at checkout, add Order Notes for color or placement preferences, and request spreading there (drivers perform tailgate spreading at their discretion).
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.
