Materials Available for Delivery
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Austin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Austin has a population of 990 and sits within a metro area of 2.6+ million residents. Its steady annual growth rate of 1.80% means homeowners are regularly taking on projects large and small — everything from yard refreshes to driveway and small-scale construction work — which creates ongoing demand for bulk materials. With 228 sunny days per year and 34.32 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, local conditions favor materials and mixes that balance sun exposure with episodic wet weather. That translates into a need for correctly graded base materials, moisture-retentive topsoils, erosion-control supplies, mulches, and stable surface aggregates. For both DIY homeowners and local contractors, sourcing regionally appropriate bulk materials reduces rework, improves plant establishment, and helps outdoor projects withstand seasonal cycles, while predictable deliveries keep timelines on track.Popular Projects in Austin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Austin Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Austin.
Homeowners in Austin typically look for materials that balance stability, drainage, and cost. Options like gravel, sand, dirt, stone are chosen based on how well they compact, shed water, and match the driveway's slope. Local sourcing means texture and color will vary, so consider appearance plus performance when deciding.
In a freeze-thaw climate like Austin's, pick materials and assemblies that drain well and resist frost heave. Using well-graded aggregates with good drainage, a stable compacted base, and avoiding fine, water-retaining fills helps reduce movement over time. Talk to suppliers about regional blends that are commonly used for cold-weather durability.
Most homeowners and contractors schedule deliveries and installation in late spring through early fall to avoid frozen ground and heavy rains. Plan ahead because weekends and peak season fill quickly, and allow 2+ business days for standard delivery or arrange next-day service if available. Early scheduling also gives you time to confirm access and any spreading needs with the driver.
Yes, many suppliers serve both rural and suburban pockets around Austin, but service can depend on road access, driveway slope, and local truck routes. Hello Gravel works with local haulers to deliver with a minimum order (typically 3 tons) and may apply additional fees for remote access. Always provide accurate access notes at checkout so suppliers can plan the safest drop-off.
Standard delivery timelines are usually 2+ business days from order, while next-day delivery is often available for orders placed early (additional fees may apply). Larger or specialized orders may take longer depending on supplier inventory and truck availability, so confirm lead times when you request a quote. If timing is critical, ask the sales team to confirm truck schedules and stock before placing the order.
Slope, native soil type, and drainage patterns strongly influence material choice: steeper slopes often need heavier, angular materials to resist movement, while flat areas may use finer mixes to aid planting or leveling. In areas with clay or poor drainage consider materials that improve infiltration and reduce surface flow. Local geology matters, so pick materials common to the region and consult suppliers for site-specific recommendations.
Quantity depends on area and desired depth, but a simple rule is to calculate square feet times depth to get cubic yards and then convert to tons based on the material's density. For example, a 400 sq ft driveway at 2 inches depth typically needs roughly 3 to 4 tons of aggregate, while deeper bases or larger areas scale up accordingly. Use a material calculator or contact our team with measurements for a precise estimate.
Small deliveries of materials often do not require permits, but larger projects like full driveway rebuilds, major grading, or changes to stormwater flow can trigger local township permits or HOA approvals. Requirements vary by township and neighborhood, so check with the local municipality or HOA before ordering. If you need guidance, contact our team for common considerations to discuss with permitting authorities.
Costs vary by material type, local availability, and delivery distance; typically, locally sourced gravel and dirt are less expensive than specialty stone mixes or washed aggregates. Delivery fees, minimum order sizes, and seasonal demand also affect final pricing, so compare per-ton or per-yard quotes rather than photos. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing and quotes so you can compare materials side by side before ordering.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. You can request spreading at checkout and add details about access and desired placement, but plan for loose deliveries and have rakes or extra help on site if you need precise spreading. Ensure clear access, remove obstacles, and confirm the delivery window so the truck can make a safe drop.
Contact the Hello Gravel team as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order; changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but ability to change depends on supplier and truck scheduling. If issues arise after delivery, contact customer service promptly so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
