Gravel: Sun‑Ready Drainage For Yards • Same‑Day Gravel Delivery Across Onalaska
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 Onalaska Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Onalaska is a small but steadily growing West Texas community with a city population of 4,830 and a growth rate of 0.80% annually. Sitting in USDA hardiness zone 8b, the area averages 228 sunny days per year and about 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, which together shape local landscaping choices and construction needs. That mix of sun and seasonal moisture, plus ongoing measured development in the surrounding metro of 2.7+ million, keeps demand steady for dependable aggregates. Homeowners look for gravel that improves drainage on driveways and low spots, creates low‑maintenance xeriscape beds that handle sun exposure, and stabilizes walkways and patios against erosion. Choosing the right gravel up front reduces maintenance, prevents washouts during heavy rains, and helps projects last in Onalaska’s unique climate. Gravel performs well for local projects because angular pieces promote runoff during 34.25 inches of annual rainfall while resisting displacement under frequent sun exposure (228 sunny days per year). For load‑bearing surfaces like driveways and access lanes, 3/4"–1" crushed gravel compacts for stability; pea gravel works well for smoother paths and garden areas. Expect natural variation in color and texture due to regional sourcing. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers, offers transparent pricing and a simple online ordering flow, and schedules delivery by professional dump trucks so you get the right gravel where and when you need it.Popular Projects in Onalaska This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Onalaska gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Onalaska.
Prices vary by material, supplier, and delivery distance, but Onalaska customers can generally expect material plus delivery to range from about $30 to $90 per ton for common gravels. Specialty gravels, next-day delivery, or tailgate spreading may add fees, and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum. For an exact price, check your zip code and request a quote through our site.
For West Texas conditions, angular crushed stone like 3/4" crushed stone or #57 crushed stone is best because it locks together and resists shifting under vehicle traffic. Pea gravel is attractive but can scatter and is less stable for driveways; crush-and-run (crusher run) makes a good compacted base. Choose materials that provide good drainage and specify a wearing course suited to your use.
Approximate coverage per ton is: 2" depth = about 116 sq ft per ton, 3" = about 77 sq ft per ton, and 4" = about 58 sq ft per ton. These numbers assume typical crushed stone density and are estimates only; local material density and compaction affect actual coverage. Always order a little extra (5-10%) to account for compaction, settling, and grading.
Yes. In the Onalaska area, seasonal heavy rains and pockets of clay or low-permeability soils can cause standing water and washouts if drainage is not addressed. Proper grading, a crown on the driveway, and installing culverts or French drains in low spots will reduce problems. We recommend checking site-specific slope and soil before ordering and discussing drainage with your installer.
Gravel driveways in the West Texas climate typically need periodic regrading and occasional top-ups of 1-2 inches every few years to replace material lost to traffic and erosion. Regularly remove vegetation, maintain edges, and fix low spots after heavy storms; preventative drainage management extends life. With a good base and maintenance, gravel driveways can last 10 to 20+ years depending on traffic and upkeep.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is quick to install, and it performs well for flexible drainage needs common in rural Onalaska lots, but it needs ongoing maintenance. Asphalt offers a smoother surface with less maintenance than loose gravel but has higher initial cost and can soften in extreme heat. Concrete is most durable long-term but is the most expensive and less forgiving of drainage issues; choose based on budget, traffic, and local drainage.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and typically has a 3-ton minimum order for delivery in the Onalaska area. Local suppliers are available regionally, but material types and colors will reflect local geology, so availability can vary. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our team for exact product availability and delivery options.
Permit and HOA rules vary by property. Some counties or HOAs may restrict front-yard gravel, certain stone colors, or require specific edging, so check Polk County (or your local jurisdiction) and your HOA covenants before ordering. If in doubt, contact your local building department or HOA and keep any approvals on file before delivery.
Start with a well-compacted subgrade, add geotextile fabric if soil is soft, then install a 4" to 6" compacted base of crush-and-run or 3/4" minus, and finish with a 1" to 2" wearing course of #57 or 3/4" crushed stone. Create a slight crown for runoff, compact each layer, and install edging to contain material. Proper drainage and a solid base are the most important factors for long-term performance in Onalaska.
Use a combination of geotextile fabric under the base, good edge restraints, and pre-emergent herbicide or mechanical weed removal to limit vegetation. For erosion, maintain a crown and install swales or culverts to divert storm runoff; silt fences help during establishment. If dust is a concern, consider polymer stabilizers or dust-control products applied to the surface; salt is not commonly used in this climate but avoid overwatering adjacent landscaping that could mobilize fines.
Drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request spreading at checkout but it is not guaranteed. For a reliable spread and compaction, schedule professional spreading and grading by a contractor or ask the driver to confirm what they can do safely on arrival. Our standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
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.
