Frequently Asked Questions - Allen gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Allen.
Delivered gravel cost in Allen depends on material type, quantity, and driveway access; expect material prices roughly $25 to $60 per ton and common delivered totals for a small driveway often fall between $150 and $700. Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee applies), and many areas receive free delivery through our network. Tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion and may incur an extra charge; final price is confirmed at checkout.
For Allen's hot, dry Texas climate, angular crushed stone or crushed limestone is often best for driveways because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel and decomposed granite work well for paths and decorative beds but can move under vehicle traffic; use them with edging and a compacted base for better drainage and stability.
As a rule of thumb using a 4" compacted depth, a 1-car driveway (about 10x20 ft) needs ~3 to 4 tons, a 2-car driveway (20x20 ft) needs ~6 to 8 tons, and a 3-car driveway (30x20 ft) needs ~10 to 11 tons. Hello Gravel uses a 1.4 tons per cubic yard estimate for planning, and you can adjust quantities for deeper base or extra topcoat; note our minimum order is 3 tons.
Yes — Hello Gravel connects customers in Allen to trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers; availability depends on your zip code and inventory. Regional sourcing means the exact texture and color may vary by supplier, and our checkout shows delivery dates, pricing, and supplier details for your order.
Gravel is the most affordable up-front: roughly $1 to $3 per sq ft to install, while asphalt typically runs $3 to $7 per sq ft and concrete $4 to $10 per sq ft. Lifespans vary: a maintained gravel driveway can last 10 to 20 years with periodic replenishing, asphalt 15 to 25 years, and concrete 25 to 40 years; local traffic, drainage, and maintenance affect longevity in Allen's climate.
In Allen's hot, dry conditions expect to regrade and redistribute material once per year after heavy rains and to add fresh gravel every 3 to 5 years for typical residential use. Keep an eye on washboarding, ruts, and low spots; yearly light maintenance like weed control and edging checks will extend life and performance.
Permit and HOA rules vary: some Allen neighborhoods and HOAs allow gravel driveways, others require asphalt, concrete, or specific finishes. Check the City of Allen building and permit office and review your HOA covenants before ordering; if in doubt, contact our team and we can help you plan while you confirm local rules.
For slopes, use a layered approach: compacted larger base rock, geotextile fabric, and an angular top layer to lock material in place, plus edge restraints and drainage swales to direct runoff. On slopes steeper than about 10%, consider terracing, retaining edges, or gabions and consult a contractor—proper base prep and fabric make the biggest difference in West Texas-style runoff.
You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee. Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes — we will try to accommodate modifications before the order is processed, but changes may be limited after dispatch.
Prepare a firm, well-draining subgrade and install a 2 to 4 inch compacted base of larger rock before applying the top gravel; use geotextile fabric for separation on soft soils. Compact in layers with a plate compactor and install edging to keep material in place—these steps reduce movement and reduce how often you need to add new material in Allen's dry climate.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
