Why Strathmore Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Strathmore, with a population of 5,310, sits inside a steadily growing regional market (metro area population 2.7+ million) where home improvement and light construction activity remain consistent. The town’s modest growth rate of 0.40% annually, warm Hardiness Zone 8b climate, approximately 228 sunny days per year, and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches create a demand for durable, low-maintenance landscaping solutions. Homeowners in Strathmore commonly install gravel for driveways, pathways, and drainage because it resists washout, reduces dust, and requires less water and upkeep than turf or high-maintenance groundcovers. Local geology influences the color and angularity of available stone, so buyers often look for suppliers who can explain differences in size, gradation, and suitability for specific yard conditions. Gravel performs well in Strathmore’s environment: well-graded crushed gravel or 3/4-inch crushed stone promotes quick infiltration on slopes, helps control erosion during the area’s annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and remains stable under prolonged sun exposure associated with Hardiness Zone 8b. For homeowners, gravel is ideal for permeable driveways, French drains, and patio base layers. Hello Gravel connects you with regional suppliers, schedules delivery by tri-axle dump truck, and provides clear pricing and ordering tools so you get the right tonnage (minimum order: 3 tons) and a delivery window that fits your project timeline (standard delivery: 2+ business days; next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee).Popular Projects in Strathmore This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Strathmore gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Strathmore.
Prices vary by material, volume, and supplier. In Strathmore you should expect price differences between decorative options (like pea gravel) and basic base materials (like crusher run); request an online quote to see delivered price before checkout. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and shows delivery fees upfront when available.
Cost depends on truck size and the pea gravel grade. Pea gravel is often priced higher than basic road base, so get a specific delivered quote for Strathmore through our site or call our team for an estimate. Keep in mind minimums, delivery options, and whether you need spreading services.
Common local options include crushed stone (3/4" or 1" for driveways), pea gravel (rounded, decorative), decomposed granite (fine, compactable), and crusher run/recycled concrete (good for base). Regional sourcing means exact texture and color can vary in Strathmore, so check photos or add color notes at checkout.
For driveways we recommend a structural base like crusher run or road base topped with 3/4" crushed stone or a small angular aggregate for traction. Strathmore's soils can compact and shift, so a 4" to 6" compacted base plus a 1" to 2" driving surface works well. Ask our team for recommendations tailored to your driveway width and expected traffic.
Truck capacity varies by truck type; our typical contracted tri-axle trucks often deliver roughly 10 to 16 tons per load, but sizes vary by supplier. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so small residential orders may come on a partial tri-axle load. You can request truck size or tonnage in Order Notes and we'll confirm before dispatch.
As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of gravel covers about 120 square feet at a 2" depth. Coverage can change based on gravel density and particle size, so use that figure as an estimate and round up. For precise needs use our online material calculator or contact our team with dimensions and desired depth.
No, 2" is generally too thin for a driveway. For vehicles you should plan on a compacted base of 4" to 6" (road base or crusher run) with a 1" to 2" top layer of crushed stone. A 2" layer may be fine for a footpath or decorative area if installed over a compacted base and edging.
Pea gravel looks attractive and drains well, but it can shift underfoot or under tires, making it less suitable for driveways and steep slopes. It may require edging to keep it contained and frequent raking to maintain a smooth surface. In hot, dry climates like Strathmore, it can also scatter and reveal dust underneath over time.
A 10x10 area is 100 square feet; at a 2" depth you need about 0.62 cubic yards, which is roughly 0.8 tons. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so you will likely receive more than you need if ordering through our platform. Consider pairing small projects with neighbors or saving the leftover for future use.
You can lay gravel directly on soil for short-term decorative uses, but it will tend to sink, shift, and promote weed growth over time. We recommend installing a compacted crushed-rock base and geotextile fabric to improve drainage, reduce mixing with the soil, and increase longevity—especially important in Strathmore's variable soils. For driveways, a proper base is strongly advised.
Cost depends on driveway width, depth, material choice, and whether you need base prep. For estimating, calculate the square footage (for example, a 20 ft by 10 ft drive is 200 sq ft) and use the coverage rates to get cubic yards or tons, then request a delivered price on our site for material and delivery. Labor for grading and compaction adds to the total, so ask for a bundled quote if you need installation help.
The best color depends on your home's exterior, local landscape, and personal taste; neutral tan and earth tones commonly found near Strathmore blend well with the local landscape. Keep in mind regional sourcing limits exact shades, so order a small sample or add color notes at checkout to help suppliers match your preference. Decorative gravels with contrasting color can highlight beds and walkways but may cost more.
A 50 lb bag of gravel covers roughly 3 square feet at a 2" depth. Bags are convenient for tiny projects but are more expensive per ton than bulk delivery by truck. For anything bigger than a few small beds, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel is usually more economical.
A compacted layer of crushed rock or road base topped with geotextile fabric is the best base for long-lasting results. That combination improves drainage, prevents mixing with native soil, and reduces settling—important for Strathmore's local soil conditions. For driveways, aim for 4" to 6" of compacted base before adding a driving surface.
Recycled materials like crushed concrete or crusher run are often the most economical options regionally, because they are made from locally sourced recycled material. Prices still depend on local supply and trucking distance, so check delivered pricing for Strathmore on our site. If budget is the priority, ask our team to show the most cost-effective options available in your zip code.
