In West Texas’s heat, drought and occasional heavy rain, choose materials that drain well and resist movement when wet. Select from a range of aggregates—gravel, sand, dirt, stone—to build a stable base and a wearing surface appropriate for your use and budget. Proper installation, compaction, and a suitable base layer are often more important than the surface material alone. Our team can help you match material performance to your specific project and local conditions.

Plan projects for spring or fall to avoid the hottest summer months and seasonal storms, but deliveries are available year-round. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day service is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Allow extra lead time during rain or extreme heat, since site access and compaction work can be affected by weather.

Many local suppliers and haulers will deliver to rural addresses near Shepherd, but longer hauls or difficult access can incur additional charges. Hello Gravel’s minimum is 3 tons for most areas; some suppliers may have higher minimums for very remote locations. Provide clear access instructions, gate codes, and photos if your property is off a main road to help ensure an accurate quote and successful delivery.

Measure the area in square feet and decide on the desired depth in inches. Convert to cubic yards with the formula: (area in ft^2 x depth in ft) / 27. Material weight varies by type, so use our online calculator or contact our team for a conversion to tons and a recommended overage for compaction and settling.

Local rules and HOA guidelines can affect driveway materials, curb cuts, and delivery placement, so check with your city, county, or homeowners association before ordering. Some rural roads or private drives have weight limits or require permits for heavy trucks; the hauler may need to coordinate with local authorities. If you have questions, our sales team can help you identify potential permitting or HOA considerations for your address.

Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks that need clear, stable access and turning room. Narrow driveways, low-hanging branches, soft shoulders, or weight-restricted bridges can prevent trucks from reaching the drop point and may require a shorter haul or special equipment. Share site photos and access details at checkout so we can match the right truck and plan for any extra charges or alternate drop locations.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request the service at checkout and the driver will assess safety on arrival. This service is not guaranteed and may not be possible on steep slopes, soft ground, or confined spaces. For precise spreading, consider hiring a landscaper or contractor to follow the delivery.

Because materials are regionally sourced, color, texture and gradation can vary from photos or samples. You can add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed. If you have concerns about delivered material, contact customer service promptly and we will work to resolve the issue per our policies.

Contact our team as soon as possible—the sooner we hear from you the easier it is to modify or cancel before the supplier or hauler is dispatched. Changes may be limited once the order is in process and are not guaranteed, but we will make our best effort to accommodate requests. Review the order confirmation for specific timelines and contact information for faster handling.
