Why Alpine Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alpine, Texas (city population 6,980) sits in West Texas with a semi-arid landscape and steady growth at 0.65% annually. The area averages 263 sunny days per year and just 15.90 inches of annual rainfall, and it falls in USDA Hardiness Zone 8a—conditions that shape local landscaping and construction choices. Homeowners and contractors in Alpine increasingly need materials that handle intense sun, dry soils, and occasional heavy storms. Gravel is a frequent choice for driveways, base layers for patios and sheds, erosion control on slopes, and low-water landscaping because it drains well, resists rutting, and matches local geology. In a market balancing modest city population and broader regional development, reliable access to locally sourced aggregates keeps projects on schedule and reduces costly rework.Popular Projects in Alpine This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alpine gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Alpine.
Hello Gravel negotiates local rates that vary by supplier, season, and truck travel distance, so exact prices change frequently. In West Texas, crushed limestone is generally the most budget-friendly option, with pea gravel and decomposed granite trending higher, but for current delivered pricing to Alpine we recommend getting an instant quote on our site or requesting a customized estimate for your zip code.
For Alpine’s dry, rocky terrain, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed limestone or 3/4" minus) is usually best because it compacts well and resists shifting. Decomposed granite and well-graded crushed rock with some fines are good where dust control and a firmer surface are priorities, while pea gravel is attractive but tends to move and may require edging and more frequent maintenance.
For a 100 sq ft area, a 2-inch depth requires about 0.86 tons (about 0.62 cubic yards) of gravel, and a 4-inch depth needs about 1.73 tons (about 1.23 cubic yards). Keep in mind Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so small projects may exceed the minimum by volume and cost due to that policy.
Permit and setback rules vary by location and any applicable neighborhood association; many rural Alpine properties allow gravel driveways but access to county or state roads can require permits or driveway permits. Check with the City of Alpine planning or Brewster County permitting office before you start, and contact Hello Gravel if you want us to note permit needs on your delivery instructions.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers who service Alpine; availability of spreading services varies by contractor and is performed at the driver’s discretion. Typical minimum orders for local suppliers are commonly 3 tons (our platform minimum), and landscapers or local contractors may require larger minimums for spreading services—contact us or request a quote to see which local provider can meet your needs.
In Alpine’s hot, arid climate gravel holds up well for drainage and is less prone to heat-related softening than asphalt, but it can wash and rut during heavy rains if not properly graded and bordered. Asphalt and concrete give a smoother, lower-dust surface and require less frequent topping, but they cost more up front and can suffer edge cracking where freeze-thaw or poor subgrade exist.
Expect light maintenance like occasional raking and spot filling every 6-12 months, with more thorough regrading and adding new gravel every 2-5 years depending on traffic and drainage. Costs vary with material choice and access, but routine topping is usually less expensive than repaving with asphalt; request local quotes through Hello Gravel for project-specific estimates.
On caliche or rocky soils we recommend a compacted base of crushed rock (4-6" compacted of 3/4" minus or crush-and-run) and a durable geotextile fabric to prevent mixing of subgrade and gravel and to improve drainage. In poor soils or high-traffic driveways consider deeper base, proper compaction, and consultation with a local contractor to address caliche layers or drainage issues.
Finer materials and mixes with more fines (like decomposed granite or crush-and-run) compact better and reduce dust but can form a crust and slow drainage, while larger, angular stones drain faster and produce less caking but may allow more dust unless stabilized. Color affects heat absorption—darker gravels get hotter in summer—so choose size and color based on whether you prioritize dust control, drainage, or appearance.
With proper base and regular maintenance a gravel driveway can perform well for many years, though it typically needs topping more often than asphalt or concrete, which often last longer between overlays. For rural Alpine properties, gravel is widely accepted and rarely hurts resale if it fits the property style; urban or higher-end suburban buyers often prefer paved surfaces, so consider your neighborhood when choosing a long-term material.
Use Hello Gravel’s online calculator to choose material and estimate quantities, then place an order and choose your preferred delivery date during checkout; standard delivery requires 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Add Order Notes for placement instructions, request tailgate spreading at checkout (driver will determine feasibility), and contact our team if you need help sizing or local guidance.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.
