Why Abilene Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Abilene, Texas, with a city population of 110,227, sits in a semi-arid region that is seeing steady development, expanding at a growth rate of 0.50% annually. With 230 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 23.00 inches, and a planting hardiness zone of 7b, homeowners and local contractors plan projects that must handle heat, dust, and occasional heavy storms. That steady growth and a diversified economy create ongoing demand for durable aggregates. Homeowners look for gravel that improves drainage, reduces maintenance, and stands up to surface wear on driveways, walkways, and landscape beds. Local geology affects color and texture, so buyers value suppliers who can recommend the right gradation and placement to reduce erosion and long-term upkeep.Popular Projects in Abilene This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Abilene gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Abilene.
Delivered gravel in Abilene typically ranges from about $25 to $45 per ton depending on type (pea, crushed limestone, base), distance from the quarry, and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; exact pricing and delivery fees are shown at checkout after you enter your zip code and select material and date.
In Abilene you will commonly find crushed limestone, pea gravel, and decomposed granite. Crushed limestone is popular for driveways and base because it compacts well; pea gravel is used for decorative paths and drainage beds; decomposed granite is used for patios and rustic walkways where a compacted, natural look is desired.
Estimates vary by depth; as a rule of thumb 1 cubic yard of gravel is about 1.3–1.5 tons. For a 2-car driveway (12x40 ft) at 4 inches compacted you need roughly 6–9 tons; a 1-car driveway (10x20 ft) at 4 inches needs about 3–4 tons; a 10x10 patio at 2–3 inches needs about 1–2 tons. Use the Hello Gravel calculator for an exact number based on your desired depth.
Yes. Hello Gravel partners with trusted local suppliers and haulers in Abilene to supply screened gravel, base material, and other aggregates. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our team and we will show available materials, delivery options, and lead times for your area.
Abilene's heat and dry spells increase dust and loosening of surface fines, while occasional heavy storms can cause washouts and rutting. For high-traffic areas or slopes, consider stabilization measures such as a proper crushed stone base, geotextile fabric, edge restraint, and, if desired, polymer stabilizers or chloride dust suppressants. Stabilizers can reduce ongoing maintenance but should be chosen for the specific material and site conditions.
A well-built gravel driveway in Abilene can perform well for 8–15 years with routine maintenance. Expect light regrading and fill-in annually or after major storms, a top-up of new gravel every 2–4 years depending on traffic, and periodic compaction after heavy rains to limit washboarding.
Over 10 years gravel generally has the lowest upfront cost but higher maintenance; asphalt has moderate upfront cost and occasional resurfacing; concrete has the highest upfront cost but lower routine maintenance. For a typical 2-car driveway in Abilene, rough 10-year totals (installation plus upkeep) often fall into ranges like: gravel $3,000–$6,000, asphalt $6,000–$10,000, and concrete $8,000–$15,000. Use these as estimates and get local quotes because soil, site prep, and drainage needs can change costs significantly.
You should check with the City of Abilene Public Works or your county office for any curb cut, driveway apron, or right-of-way permits before starting work. If you belong to an HOA, review its rules—some HOAs restrict loose gravel driveways or require specific finishes—so get approval before ordering material.
Control dust and washboarding by installing a stable base (crushed stone), using well-graded material with fines, compacting in layers, and adding edge restraints to keep material in place. For dust suppression consider periodic application of calcium chloride or other approved suppressants, polymer stabilizers, or a compacted fine topcoat; regrading and rolling after storms also helps prevent washboarding.
Professional installation prices vary by scope and access, but many Abilene homeowners pay roughly $1,500–$6,000 for a standard 2-car driveway including grading, base rock, and compaction. Factors that increase cost include poor existing soil, long driveways, drainage work, and heavy machinery access; contact local contractors or request a Hello Gravel installation quote for a site-specific estimate.
Abilene's soils range from clay to sandy loam; clay holds water and can lead to soft spots, while sandy loam drains more readily. Use a subgrade that sheds water (slope away from structures), install geotextile fabric over soft spots, add 4–6 inches of compacted coarse base (3/4" to 1 1/2" crushed rock) and a 2–3 inch surfacing layer of finer crushed material. Where runoff concentrates, add French drains or culverts to protect the gravel surface.
For residential driveways in Abilene aim for a compacted base of 4–6 inches of larger crushed stone topped by 2–3 inches of finer surface gravel for a total compacted depth of about 4–6 inches. Walkways and patios can use 2–3 inches compacted of decomposed granite or fines over a compacted subbase. Compact in 2-inch lifts with a plate compactor or roller until the surface is firm and resists displacement.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
