Why Willis Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Willis has a population of 37,550 and sits within a broader metro area population of 2.5+ million. A steady growth rate of 0.70% annually points to gradual but persistent demand for both new construction and home improvement projects—enough activity to keep local contractors and DIY homeowners planning upgrades, driveways, and yard reworks without the sudden spikes that strain supply chains. With 228 sunny days annually and an annual rainfall of 34.80 inches in hardiness zone 8b, local projects need materials that balance heat tolerance with storm-season performance. That means homeowners value reliable bulk supplies—gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and stone—that stand up to intense sun, shed water properly during seasonal rains, and support planting choices suited to a longer growing season. Clear quantity estimates and scheduled delivery become practical necessities when projects must account for both weather windows and steady, ongoing demand. Local climate and weather patterns shape material performance in ways homeowners should plan for. High solar exposure accelerates color fading and can dry out organic materials faster, while a moderate 34.80 inches of rain means drainage and erosion control cannot be ignored. These conditions influence choices for base layers, topdressings, and soil blends and make proper grading and water management critical. Hello Gravel helps Willis homeowners by matching regional materials to project needs, providing quantity calculators and delivery scheduling so buyers get the right volumes at the right time, and offering local knowledge about how materials typically perform in zone 8b with 228 sunny days annually and 34.80 inches of rainfall.Popular Projects in Willis This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Willis Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Willis.
Start by naming the job you need done (driveway, drainage, garden bed, base for pavers). Consider function first: do you need drainage, compaction, or just surface coverage? Compare materials by stability, appearance, and cost, and remember regional sourcing means gravel, sand, dirt, and stone may vary in color and texture. Use our material calculator or contact the sales team for a recommendation based on your measurements and budget.
Look for materials that compact well and shed water to avoid rutting and pooling. Think about expected traffic, maintenance needs, and whether you need a finished surface or a simple base. Check local HOA or city rules for acceptable surface types and colors, and plan for a base layer plus a wear surface when needed. Our team can help estimate quantities and suggest practical options for durability.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area and multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Weight per cubic yard depends on the material, so use our online material calculator or request a quote with your dimensions for a quick conversion to tons. If you are unsure, provide photos and measurements and our team will help verify quantities before you order.
Standard delivery typically requires at least 2 business days and is included in many areas, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout and we will confirm scheduling with the local supplier and hauler. Keep in mind minimum orders usually start around 3 tons and exact timing depends on local supplier schedules.
Delivery cost depends on the material type, quantity ordered, and distance from the local supplier to your address. Hello Gravel displays transparent pricing for your zip code and often offers free delivery in many locations, but some orders may incur a delivery fee or fuel surcharge. For a precise estimate, enter your zip code and material choice on our site or request a quote from our team.
Yes. Heavy rains and wet ground can delay deliveries and make spreading or compaction difficult, while hot, dry conditions can make dust and settling an issue. Plan major installs outside peak storm seasons when possible and schedule delivery for dry days if you need spreading or compaction. We can help you pick materials and a delivery window that account for local seasonal patterns.
Possibly. Many cities and homeowners associations have rules about driveway surfaces, front-yard landscaping, and curbside deliveries. Contact the City of Willis and your HOA to confirm any permit, setback, or material restrictions before placing an order. If you need documentation for approval, our team can provide product descriptions and typical use guidance to include with your permit application.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if site conditions allow, but this service is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety, slope, and access when they arrive. For precise spreading, consider hiring a local landscaper or contractor to finish the job after delivery.
Common uses include resurfacing driveways, creating walkways and patios, topping garden beds, building drainage swales, preparing bases for pavers, and grading or filling low spots. DIYers often order the minimum amounts for small landscaping jobs, while contractors place larger bulk orders for construction sites. When planning, include a little extra material for compaction, settling, and cutting to fit irregular shapes.
Because materials are regionally sourced, color and texture may vary from photos; this is normal for natural aggregates. Contact customer service as soon as you notice an issue or need to change your order; changes are easiest before the order is dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. Refer to our refund policy for details and keep photos handy to help resolve quality concerns quickly.
Clear a straight access path for the dump truck and mark any underground utilities or overhead obstacles to avoid delays and safety issues. Decide where you want the material placed and leave room for the truck to maneuver; keep gate codes or directions in your order notes. If you need a stockpile location, leave a level area and consider temporary barriers to prevent runoff or erosion until the material is spread.
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.
