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 Ore City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ore City is a small but growing West Texas community with a city population of 3,260 and proximity to a metro area population of 2.5+ million. The area is expanding at a growth rate of 0.70% annually, and its semi-arid climate—with 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b—creates steady demand for durable, low-maintenance landscaping and drainage solutions. Homeowners here often prioritize materials that handle intense sun, periodic heavy rain, and local soil conditions. That makes gravel a common choice for driveways, walkways, French drains, and erosion control: it provides stability, improves runoff management, and requires less upkeep than lawn or mulch in many West Texas settings. Gravel works well in Ore City because it sheds water, reduces mud, and tolerates the region’s strong sun and occasional storms. Locally sourced gravel reflects the geology of West Texas and can vary in color and texture, so homeowners should expect natural variation. Hello Gravel simplifies the process by connecting you with vetted local suppliers, offering clear pricing, online ordering, and scheduled dump-truck delivery (minimum orders start at 3 tons). Choose a delivery window during checkout and request tailgate spreading; drivers will assess spreading feasibility on arrival.Popular Projects in Ore City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ore City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ore City.
Prices vary by type, but expect roughly $25-$60 per ton for common gravels delivered to Ore City, with decorative or specialty gravels toward the higher end. A typical tri-axle dump truck can carry a full load that equals roughly one truck delivery, and truck capacity and pricing vary by supplier; many tri-axles deliver one full truck for about 12-20 tons depending on local truck specs. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, and your final quote will show exact per-ton and per-truck pricing for your zip code.
River rock (larger, rounded stones) usually costs more than pea gravel because of handling and rarity, often $10-$20 more per ton in the West Texas market. Pea gravel is smaller and more common, so it tends to be cheaper and easier to deliver, but exact differences depend on local supply and color preference. Check Hello Gravel quotes for an apples-to-apples comparison for Ore City deliveries.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which is often enough for small projects or sample areas. Deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck, with standard delivery taking 2+ business days and next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Remote or very small-town addresses may have additional delivery conditions, so confirm availability and any remote fees at checkout.
A common recommendation for Texas driveways is 4-6 inches of compacted base gravel (crushed stone) with a 1-2 inch surface layer of a more finished material if desired. To estimate, calculate square feet x depth (in feet) ÷ 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard; for example, a 20 ft x 50 ft driveway at 5 inches (0.417 ft) is about 15.4 cubic yards or roughly 22 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a precise quote for your Ore City project.
Pea gravel can be attractive and drains well, but it tends to move and can be difficult to drive on without edging or stabilizing, so it is best for low-traffic, flat driveways. Avoid pea gravel for steep driveways, long driveways without containment, or where heavy vehicle traffic occurs; in those cases, crushed stone or 3/4" minus that compacts well is a better choice. In Ore City's dry climate pea gravel won't freeze and heave, but you still need proper base and edging to keep it contained.
Cheapest options often come from local quarries, municipal recycled material yards, or bulk suppliers who deliver nearby; prices vary with type and truckload size. Hello Gravel connects you with multiple local suppliers so you can compare transparent quotes and delivery fees in Ore City without calling around. Remember to compare not just per-ton price but delivery, minimums, and material gradation for the best value.
Many areas qualify for free delivery, but rural or hard-to-reach addresses can incur a remote delivery fee that typically ranges from a small flat fee up to a modest premium depending on distance and truck access. Hello Gravel shows any delivery fees in your quote before you pay so you know the full cost for Ore City deliveries. If site access is limited, you may also face small extra charges or need to request a smaller truck.
Hello Gravel coordinates material delivery but does not directly provide full installation; some local haulers or contractors in the Ore City area may offer tailgate spreading or separate installation services. Tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion and should be requested at checkout, while professional grading and compaction are typically hired separately and can range widely—often $300 to $1,200 or more depending on driveway size and equipment needed. We recommend getting local contractor quotes and asking if they supply compaction equipment and a compactable base material.
Most private residential gravel driveways on your property do not require a city permit, but any work that modifies a public right-of-way, curb cut, or drainage may require approval from the City of Ore City or the county. Permit rules can vary, so contact Ore City municipal offices or your county building department before major grading or changes to the street approach. Hello Gravel can deliver materials, but it's your responsibility to verify local permitting and right-of-way rules.
Standard delivery is scheduled for at least 2 business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Seasonal factors like heavy rains, harvest seasons, or local demand can affect truck availability, so book early for large projects or peak seasons. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout, and Hello Gravel will confirm the delivery window and any driver instructions.
No—because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and size can vary based on local geology and quarry stock. We encourage customers to request notes about color preferences at checkout and to order a small sample or the minimum quantity first if color match is critical. If a delivered material does not meet your expectations, contact our customer service promptly so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution.
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.
