Why Alief Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alief's city population of 1,018 sits inside a broader regional market of 2.5+ million, and a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually points to reliable, ongoing demand for home repairs, additions, and outdoor upgrades rather than a sudden construction boom. In a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year, receives annual rainfall of 34.80 inches, and falls in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners need materials that balance heat resilience with effective storm-season drainage. That means well-graded base materials, moisture-holding topsoils and mulches, and aggregates suited to both hardscaping and erosion control. Because local geology influences texture and coloration, sourcing quality bulk supplies—gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and organic products—helps projects perform longer, reduce rework, and blend with neighborhood character. Predictable delivery windows and accurate quantity estimates are especially valuable for homeowners sequencing labor and landscaping across seasons.Popular Projects in Alief This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alief Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Alief.
Alief's Texas climate of hot summers and occasional heavy rain means you should pick materials and installation methods that resist drying, shifting, and washout. Local soils can hold water and settle, so materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone often perform best with a proper compacted base and attention to drainage. Consider material texture and size for traction and runoff control, and factor in local sourcing which can affect color and grain.
Plan deliveries outside of peak storm seasons and extreme heat when possible; spring and fall are generally easiest for landscaping and grading work. We offer standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, so check weather forecasts before scheduling. Avoid scheduling immediately after heavy rains to reduce the risk of site damage and poor compaction.
Common site challenges include narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, gated entrances, and neighborhood parking restrictions that limit where dump trucks can place material. Note these restrictions in your order notes and confirm access with our team so the driver can plan the safest drop-off point. In some cases the truck may need to stop at the curb or on the street if on-site access is restricted.
Local delivered prices vary by material, quantity, distance, and demand, but neighborhood-level delivered costs commonly range broadly (for example, roughly $30 to $120 per ton) depending on those factors and the type of material selected. Our minimum order is 3 tons, and final pricing appears at checkout based on your zip code and delivery details. Contact our team or use the online quote tool for an accurate estimate for your project.
Yes—many neighborhoods have HOA design rules about material appearance, driveway changes, and front-yard alterations, and the city may require permits for curb cuts, new driveways, or street obstruction during delivery. Check your HOA guidelines and local permitting before ordering, and add permit notes to your order so our team and drivers can plan accordingly. For deliveries that block streets or require special parking, you may need to arrange temporary permits or notifications.
Homeowners commonly order bulk materials for driveways and parking pads, patios and walkways, landscaping beds and weed control, grading and drainage fixes, backfill, and erosion control. Quantities vary widely by project; for example, a small walkway might need a few tons while a driveway typically requires much more. Use our material calculator or contact our team for quick quantity guidance tailored to your project.
Yes—demand usually rises in spring and summer for landscaping and construction, and after heavy rain events when erosion repairs are needed, which can tighten availability and raise prices. Local supplier schedules and trucking capacity also shift seasonally, so ordering earlier for planned projects helps secure preferred delivery dates and pricing. Our platform shows current availability and delivery windows for your zip code.
Slope, runoff paths, and concentration points for stormwater should drive your material choice; materials that allow drainage and resist washout generally perform better on sloped areas. Consider a stable base, proper grading away from structures, and options like edging or geotextile underlay to reduce migration and loss of material. If drainage is a major concern, discuss solutions with our team or a local installer before ordering.
High heat can dry and fade certain materials and increase maintenance needs, while heavy rains can cause settling, rutting, or washout if materials are not well compacted and drained. Choosing the right material thickness, compaction method, and drainage strategy helps improve long-term performance for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone alike. Regular maintenance after storms—such as regrading or topping up material—also extends longevity.
Start by defining use: high-traffic driveways need more durable, well-compacted material and greater depth, while decorative beds or pathways can prioritize color and texture. Balance maintenance expectations—low-maintenance materials may cost more up front but save time later—and check local samples since regional sourcing affects look and performance. Use our aggregate quiz, material calculator, or contact our team for a recommendation tailored to your traffic, drainage, and aesthetic needs.
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.
