Gravel Built For Semi-Arid Drainage • Fast Local Gravel Delivery To Driveways
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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why University Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
University is a growing West Texas city of 993,588 residents, expanding at about 0.40% annually. Located in a semi-arid setting with 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b, homeowners and contractors must balance heat resilience with occasional heavy rains. That steady growth is driving new construction, driveway repairs, and landscaping updates across neighborhoods and expanding developments, increasing demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, pathways, erosion control, and foundation backfill. Homeowners often seek quality gravel that provides dependable drainage, resists migration under rainfall and irrigation, and complements local soil colors. Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and coloration will reflect University’s geology, so selecting the right size and type matters for both performance and curb appeal. Gravel is a strong fit for University’s climate: its permeability helps move water away during seasonal storms, and it stays stable under long stretches of sun with minimal maintenance. Angular, crushed gravel works well for driveways and drainage trenches, while rounded decorative gravel can reduce surface compaction in landscape beds. Hello Gravel simplifies sourcing by connecting you with local suppliers and dump-truck haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery, and an easy online checkout. Standard delivery is available in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion.Popular Projects in University This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - University gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in University.
Common options in West Texas areas like University include crushed limestone (3/4" and 1/2"), crushed rock, and rounded river rock. Sizes are usually named by the largest particle (for example 3/4" crushed stone) and appearance can range from angular and compacting (crushed) to smooth and decorative (river rock). Regional sourcing means color and texture may vary from supplier to supplier.
For most West Texas driveways, 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone is a good choice because it locks together and compacts well for vehicle traffic. A typical build uses a compacted base layer of larger crushed rock and a top layer of 3/4" crushed stone; local caliche may also be used but performance varies by site. If drainage is a concern, ask our team for a stone that balances compaction and runoff.
Measure the area (length x width) and the desired depth in inches, convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth/324) then multiply by about 1.3 to 1.5 to convert cubic yards to tons depending on material. For example, a 20 ft x 10 ft area at 3" depth is 20x10x3/324 = 1.85 cubic yards, roughly 2.4 to 2.8 tons. Use our online material calculator or contact Hello Gravel if you want help with exact tonnage for local stone types.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Availability can vary by zip code in West Texas, so check your zip at checkout or contact our team to confirm dates. We schedule deliveries with local suppliers and contracted haulers and will confirm a delivery window after booking.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. You can request spreading at checkout so the driver is aware, and they will assess feasibility upon arrival. For guaranteed spreading, consider hiring a local landscaper or crew.
Materials are sourced locally, so color, texture, and particle size reflect regional geology in West Texas and can vary from photos. Photos are representative only; you can add color or appearance preferences in the Order Notes, and our team can explain typical looks for local suppliers. If the delivered material is substantially different, contact customer service and we will work to resolve it per our policy.
Certain crushed gravels (like clean, angular 3/4" stone) perform well for drainage layers and compacted bases for footings and driveways. However, West Texas soils and caliche layers can affect drainage and load-bearing behavior, so for structural foundations or critical drainage projects consult a local engineer or ask Hello Gravel for product recommendations. We can connect you with local suppliers familiar with regional conditions.
Crushed gravel has angular edges and compacts well, making it better for driveways, base layers, and paths; river rock is rounded and decorative, drains well but does not compact tightly so it moves underfoot. Use crushed stone where stability and compaction matter, and river rock where appearance and gentle drainage are priorities. Regional availability and color differ in West Texas, so consider samples before ordering large quantities.
Clear the delivery area of vehicles, low-hanging power lines, and obstacles; ensure the truck can safely access the drop point and that ground can handle heavy axle loads. Our deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck, so verify that gates, driveways, or HOA rules allow truck access. If access is limited, note details in Order Notes so the hauler can plan a suitable drop location.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; we will do our best to accommodate requests prior to processing and dispatch. Changes become harder once the supplier or truck is scheduled, so earlier notice improves the chance we can help. Specific availability for changes depends on the order status and local supplier policies.
To minimize dust, use a denser crushed stone with fines or a screenings top layer and compact it thoroughly; applying a small-mesh screening on top can help bind particles. For higher-traffic areas consider polymer stabilizers or paving options, and water and roll newly spread stone to settle fines where safe. Keep in mind some dust is normal in arid climates, and product selection affects how dusty a surface will be.
A common approach is a compacted base of 3/4" crushed stone for structural support with a 1/4" screenings or stone dust bedding layer for leveling under pavers. Local crushed limestone often works well in West Texas, but material gradation varies by supplier so confirm product specs before ordering. For patios that need extra drainage, ask for a cleaner, coarser base mix and consult installation guides for proper compaction depths.
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.
