Gravel: Durable For Sunny West Texas • Next-Day Gravel Delivery In Murphy
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 Murphy Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Murphy is part of a growing West Texas market with a city population of 993,588 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million. The area is expanding at a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually and sits in hardiness zone 8b, averaging 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall annually. That mix of long sunny stretches and periodic heavy rain drives demand for low-maintenance, well-draining materials that handle heat, dust, and episodic runoff. Gravel is a go-to aggregate for homeowners and builders here because it supports heavy loads, promotes drainage for driveways and French drains, and limits erosion—qualities that match Murphy’s climate and construction needs. Local sourcing also helps ensure color, texture, and gradation match regional soils and landscape styles.Popular Projects in Murphy This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Murphy gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Murphy.
Delivered gravel prices in Murphy typically range from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on the material (crushed stone is usually cheaper; decorative pea gravel is more expensive), truck distance, and order size. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and many areas offer free delivery, but local delivery fees and next-day options can raise the total. Request a quote for the most accurate price for your zip code and desired material.
The most common driveway gravels in the Murphy (West Texas) area are 3/4" crushed stone (#57), crushed limestone, decomposed granite, and crushed granite; pea gravel is used for a decorative finish. Crushed, angular materials lock together better for driveways, while smoother pea gravel is more decorative but can shift more under traffic.
A good estimating rule is about 0.004 tons per square foot for every 1 inch of depth. For example, a 1,000 sq ft driveway at a 3-inch compacted depth needs roughly 12 tons of gravel. Always round up for compaction and order at least the 3-ton minimum that Hello Gravel requires.
Hot, dry weather in West Texas increases dust and can break down fine material, while occasional heavy rains can wash away fines and cause ruts if drainage and slope are inadequate. Proper depth, edge restraints, a stable base, geotextile fabric, and well-designed drainage channels will reduce washouts and extend the life of the gravel surface.
Labor and installation costs vary by project size and local rates; small DIY jobs may only need material and equipment rental ($200-$500), while professional installation often runs $10 to $30 per ton for spreading and grading or a flat job price ranging from about $500 to $2,500 for typical residential driveways. Get multiple local quotes and ask whether base prep, compaction, and edge restraints are included.
Yes, always check your city ordinances and any HOA covenants before installing gravel—some HOAs limit loose stones, require certain colors, or forbid gravel entirely. The City of Murphy and private HOAs may also have rules about drainage, driveway setbacks, and permits, so contact them before ordering materials.
For erosion control on slopes use larger, angular rock such as 1" to 2" crushed stone, riprap, or gabion-fill rock combined with erosion-control fabric and terracing. Adding vegetation, check dams, or geotextile underlayment helps stabilize soil and slows runoff during heavy West Texas rains.
Permeable gravel lets stormwater infiltrate, reduces runoff, costs less to install, and stays cooler in hot weather compared with concrete or asphalt. Downsides are higher maintenance (regrading, topping up) and reduced suitability for heavy, frequent truck traffic; choose based on use, drainage needs, and budget.
Crushed stone is generally the most available and commonly priced from the lower end of the range, pea gravel is often pricier due to washing and screening, and recycled gravel can be the most economical but varies in consistency. Local supply, seasonal demand, and hauling distance influence price, so request a Hello Gravel quote to see current local pricing and availability.
Most homeowners in the area should regrade and add a light top-up every 1 to 3 years and perform spot repairs after heavy storms; a full refresh is commonly needed every 3 to 7 years depending on use. Material top-ups are inexpensive per ton (see local delivered price ranges), while professional regrading or equipment rental might cost a few hundred dollars for typical residential driveways.
Use Hello Gravel's material calculator to estimate tonnage, remember the 3-ton minimum, choose your delivery date at checkout, and add order notes for preferred drop location or color. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety on arrival, and call customer service for help with unusual access or large loads.
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.
