Why Alba Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alba is a small but growing West Texas city with a city population of 4,610 that is seeing steady development as its growth rate of 0.80% annually brings new homes and yard projects. The local climate — 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b — supports both drought-tolerant landscaping and traditional suburban construction. That mix of sun, periodic rain, and expanding residential work creates steady demand for durable aggregates for driveways, drainage, and low-maintenance front yards. Homeowners in Alba look for materials that balance appearance with performance: stable textures that compact well, sizes that shed water, and colors that match regional soils. Gravel performs especially well in Alba’s environment because it improves drainage after occasional heavy rains and resists sun-driven breakdown that can affect organic mulches. For local projects, 3/4" to 1-1/2" crushed gravel is commonly used for driveways and paths, while smaller decorative gravel works for xeriscaping and plant beds. Hello Gravel connects Alba homeowners with local suppliers, offers transparent pricing, and schedules deliveries by professional dump-truck fleets—standard delivery runs in 2+ business days with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST—so you can get the right gravel on-site when you need it.Popular Projects in Alba This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alba gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Alba.
Delivered gravel near Alba typically ranges from about $20 to $50 per ton depending on type and distance; that converts roughly to $28 to $70 per cubic yard using a common density conversion. Prices vary by supplier, truck access, and order size; Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days. For an exact delivered price, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote.
Common local options include crushed limestone (popular and affordable), pea gravel (decorative), decomposed granite (fine, compacts well), and river rock (rounded stones for accents). Typical delivered price ranges in the Alba area are roughly: crushed limestone $20-$40/ton, pea gravel $25-$50/ton, decomposed granite $30-$55/ton, and river rock $40-$90/ton, with larger sizes toward the top of the range. Regional sourcing means texture and color vary by supplier; request samples or photos when possible.
A common build-up is a 4" to 6" compacted base of crushed stone with a 2" to 3" topcoat of finer gravel for a driveway. For example, a two-car driveway about 24' x 40' at 4" needs roughly 16-18 tons and at 6" roughly 24-27 tons; a one-car driveway 12' x 30' at 4" is about 6-7 tons; a 12' x 12' patio at 2" is roughly 1.5 tons. Always add 10%-15% extra for compaction, settling, and waste, and consider local soil/drainage when choosing depth.
West Texas heat increases dust and can dry binders, while intense summer storms can wash or rut loose gravel; occasional freezes can create temporary heaving in poorly drained spots. Expect to regrade or add fresh topcoat every 1-3 years in higher-traffic areas and perform spot repairs after heavy rain events. Good drainage, edging, and choosing a more angular material (like crushed limestone) reduce movement and maintenance needs.
Contractor-installed gravel driveways in the Alba/West Texas area commonly run about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot all-in, depending on site prep, depth, and materials; low-end jobs may be cheaper and jobs with extensive grading or drainage work will be more. That often translates to $800 to $4,000+ for typical residential driveways, with parking pads priced proportionally. Always get written local quotes that separate material, delivery, and labor so you can compare.
Many local suppliers and contractors connected through Hello Gravel can arrange screening, geotextile/weed barrier installation, edging, and compaction, but availability varies by supplier. Typical upcharges you might see are screening or custom processing $5-$15/ton or a flat $100-$300 per load, weed barrier material $0.50-$2.00 per sq ft plus installation labor, edging $2-$6 per linear foot, and compaction service or machine rental roughly $100-$400 depending on scale. Ask for these services at checkout or request a separate local contractor quote so costs are confirmed before delivery.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost ($1-$3 per sq ft installed), offers good drainage, and is easy to maintain but needs periodic topping and regrading. Asphalt ($3-$7/sq ft) and concrete ($4-$10/sq ft) are more durable and low-maintenance but cost more up front and require proper base and drainage; pavers are the most expensive ($10-$25/sq ft) but offer a premium look and longevity. For rural Alba properties, gravel is often preferred for budget and drainage reasons, while asphalt or concrete suit heavier use or where a smooth surface is required.
Rules vary: many private driveways in rural Alba have no city permit requirement, but connecting to a county road often requires a county approach permit or approval from Wood County or the Texas Department of Transportation for state roads. If you are in an HOA, confirm any material or appearance rules before ordering. We recommend contacting the City of Alba office, Wood County permitting, and any HOA documents to confirm requirements before purchase or installation.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
