Pick gravel based on the project: use crushed stone or #57 for driveways and drainage, pea gravel for patios and play areas, and stone dust as a compactable base. Consider local conditions in Silver Lake, like rainy seasons and drainage needs, and tell us about the surface (walkway, driveway, garden) so we can recommend the best size and mix. If you’re unsure, use our aggregate quiz or contact our team for a tailored recommendation.

Calculate volume first: (length ft x width ft x depth ft) / 27 = cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to estimate tons (actual weight varies by material). Example: a 20 ft x 10 ft area at 3 inches deep is (20 x 10 x 0.25)/27 = 1.85 cubic yards, roughly 2.4 tons. Always order a little extra for compaction and grading, and contact us if you want help calculating quantities for Silver Lake projects.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and delivers with local dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle). Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; choose your preferred delivery date at checkout. Drivers are contracted local haulers and will confirm timing with you before delivery.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and access upon arrival. If spreading is important, note it in your order and be prepared to arrange local labor if the driver cannot perform the service.

Common local materials include crushed stone/#57 (good for driveways and drainage), pea gravel (decorative patios and play areas), river rock (landscape accents and drainage features), and stone dust (base layer for pavers). Due to regional sourcing, availability and appearance may vary across Silver Lake. Tell us the intended use and we’ll suggest the best local option.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, color and texture can vary with local geology, so your gravel may not match images exactly. You can add color preferences in the Order Notes at checkout and we will try to accommodate them. If the material looks substantially different than described, contact customer service and we will work to resolve the issue.

Silver Lake’s seasonal rain and occasional freeze-thaw cycles make drainage and stability important considerations. Choose angular crushed stone for driveways and high-traffic areas because it locks together better, and use larger sizes or drainage mixes where water runoff is a concern. We can recommend mixes that perform well in local conditions based on your site and intended use.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order; changes are easier to accommodate before the supplier or truck is dispatched. We will do our best to help, but modifications after processing or dispatch may not be possible. If you need assistance, call our sales team or use the contact options on your order confirmation.

Report the issue to Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos and a description of the problem so we can begin a resolution. We will coordinate with the supplier and hauler to address the situation and follow our refund policy as appropriate. Keep documentation of the delivery location and any specific concerns to help speed the review.
