Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days. Deliveries are usually made by tri-axle dump trucks (common payloads 10-16 tons), and many orders in the area qualify for free delivery; remote or last-minute deliveries may carry an extra fee. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional charge, and tailgate spreading is offered at the driver’s discretion.

For driveways in hot, dry West Texas, use a layered approach: 2-4u0022 of 3/4u0022 crushed rock or #57 stone for a stable wearing surface over a 4-6u0022 base of crusher run or road base for compaction. For drainage, use larger open-graded stone such as 1u0022-2u0022 river rock or clean #3 stone to allow water flow, and for landscape beds use 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022 decorative gravel. Regional materials vary, so select mixes with fines (crusher run) where compaction and dust control matter, and open-graded stone where drainage is the priority.

As a local rule of thumb (using crushed stone density ~1.35 tons per cubic yard): 2u0022 depth ≈ 8.4 tons per 1,000 sq ft, 3u0022 ≈ 12.5 tons, and 4u0022 ≈ 16.7 tons. Order an extra 5-10% to allow for compaction, grading, and spill; Hello Gravel’s material calculator can give a precise estimate for your project and local material.

Materials with fines, such as crusher run, class II road base, or 3/4u0022 minus, compact well and help control dust in West Texas heat. For longer-lasting dust suppression consider polymer-stabilized mixes or surface treatments like dust-control products (calcium chloride is temporary) and thorough compaction with a roller. If dust is a major concern, combining geotextile fabric with a compacted base and a wearing surface of crusher run is effective.

Hello Gravel coordinates delivery through contracted haulers; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion and should be requested at checkout but is not guaranteed. Some local landscape contractors and larger landscape yards or quarries in the Groesbeck region offer installation and grading as a separate service — contact Hello Gravel for local supplier options or to get referrals to installers in your area.

Maintenance frequency depends on traffic and drainage; most West Texas gravel driveways benefit from light grading and pothole patching each spring and fall, and adding a 1-2u0022 top-up of fresh gravel every 2-3 years for moderate use. High-traffic driveways or those exposed to runoff may need more frequent attention and occasional regrading or additional base material to keep the surface stable.

Regulations vary by city, county, and HOA; Groesbeck city codes or private HOA covenants may have rules about setbacks, permitted surface materials, and drainage requirements. Before ordering, check with Groesbeck city planning or your HOA for any permitting, drainage, or aesthetic rules; Hello Gravel can help connect you with local resources but cannot confirm specific local approvals.

Order online through Hello Gravel and check your zip code for availability, select desired delivery date (standard 2+ business days or next-day before noon CST with fee), and include order notes about preferred drop location. Prepare the site by clearing obstacles, marking utility lines, ensuring truck access and a stable drop point, and confirm whether you want the driver to attempt tailgate spreading (no guarantee).

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, the color, texture, and exact stone composition will reflect West Texas geology and local quarries, so samples or photos may differ from online images. These natural variations can affect drainage and compaction slightly; if you have specific color or texture preferences, note them in Order Notes and request a quote to discuss local material options.

For a standard 2-car driveway (about 600-800 sq ft) with a recommended 3u0022 wearing surface over a 6u0022 compacted base you’ll typically need 7-10 tons for the wearing layer and 16-22 tons for the base, depending on exact dimensions. For landscaping beds, a 2u0022 layer over 100 sq ft needs roughly 1.7 tons; for accurate totals use Hello Gravel’s calculator or request a quote to account for slope, compaction, and local material density.
