Why Arcola Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Arcola is a growing West Texas city with a city population of 750,000 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million. Its steady annual growth rate of 1.20% is driving increased residential and light-commercial projects across neighborhoods and new subdivisions. The local climate—228 sunny days annually, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round outdoor work but also creates specific needs for durable, low-maintenance materials. Homeowners and contractors in Arcola seek aggregates that manage stormwater, resist sun-driven deterioration, and stabilize driveways, walkways, and landscape beds. Gravel is a go-to because it balances drainage performance, visual versatility, and simple installation, helping projects stay on schedule as the city grows. In Arcola’s climate—with 34.25 inches of annual rainfall and 228 sunny days annually—gravel performs well for erosion control, improved drainage, and heat-reflective surfaces that reduce dust. Locally sourced gravel reflects the area’s geology, so color and texture vary; that variation helps homeowners match finishes from rustic to modern. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers, makes ordering straightforward online, and schedules reliable delivery so you get the right gravel for French drains, driveways, patios, and xeriscaping without the hassle.Popular Projects in Arcola This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Arcola gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Arcola.
Delivery rates vary by supplier, distance, and material type. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and many Arcola deliveries include free standard shipping, but rural or long-haul jobs in West Texas may carry an extra fee; check price at checkout for your zip code. For faster delivery choose the next-day option before noon CST for an additional charge.
For hot, clay-prone ground we recommend angular, crushed materials like 3/4" crushed limestone or #57 crushed stone for base strength, topped with limestone screenings or 3/8" crushed rock to lock the surface. These materials compact well on clay and resist rutting better than rounded river rock; regional mixes from West Texas suppliers may vary, so note preferences in your order. If drainage is a concern, consider a layer of coarser stone under the surface course.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. As a quick guide: a one-car driveway about 12' x 40' at 3" depth needs roughly 4.4 cubic yards or about 6.2 tons; a two-car driveway 20' x 40' at 4" depth needs about 9.9 cubic yards or about 13.8 tons (using ~1.4 tons per cubic yard). Use our online calculator or contact our team with exact dimensions for a precise estimate for your Arcola property.
Local rules vary by city, county, and HOA, so you should check Arcola city code if inside town limits, your county for unincorporated parcels, and any HOA covenants before installing gravel. Some HOAs restrict front-yard materials or require specific edging, drainage, or color palettes. If you need documentation, save material specs and photos from suppliers to support your application.
Effective options include geogrids under a compacted stone base, limestone screenings to create a binding top layer, and perimeter edge restraints to keep material contained. Polymer or resin stabilizers and compacted crushed concrete bases are also used for higher-traffic driveways and RV pads. For flash-flood areas, prioritize good subgrade preparation and drainage (swales, French drains) so gravel does not wash away in heavy storms.
Routine maintenance like raking low spots and regrading after heavy rains should be done yearly or after major storms. Full resurfacing or adding 1-2 inches of fresh material is commonly needed every 1 to 4 years depending on traffic, soil clay content, and storm events in West Texas. Keeping edges constrained and drainage functioning reduces how often you need to add material.
Gravel usually has the lowest upfront cost and is easiest to install and repair, making it a good choice for rural Arcola properties. Asphalt offers smoother driving and lower dust but higher initial cost and routine sealing; concrete lasts longer but has the highest upfront cost and can crack on clay soils without proper base. Consider budget, desired appearance, and long-term maintenance when choosing; local climate and soil often make gravel the most practical option for many West Texas homeowners.
Typical deliveries arrive by tri-axle dump truck, so you need a clear access lane about 12 to 14 feet wide and adequate overhead clearance for tree limbs and power lines. If access is tight, note this in your order notes so the hauler can plan placement or alternate drop-off locations; drivers may not walk material long distances and tailgate spreading is available only at their discretion. Also expect the driver to assess safety on arrival—call our team if you have driveways with low bridges, gates, or steep approaches.
Many West Texas suppliers offer recycled crushed concrete and reclaimed aggregate options that are commonly available for Arcola-area orders. Recycled concrete compacts well and drains effectively, but color and consistency vary by source—check product descriptions and mention 'recycled' in your order notes. If you prefer recycled material, select it on the product page or ask our team to match suppliers in your area.
For light-use paths, 2 to 3 inches of compacted gravel is usually sufficient. Driveways typically need 4 to 6 inches over a well-compacted subgrade, while RV pads and heavy parking areas often require 6 to 8 inches with a compacted crushed-stone base and a locking top course like screenings. Compact each layer with a plate compactor or roller and include edge restraint to prevent spreading; in clay soils consider thicker base and better drainage to avoid settling.
Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so color, texture, and consistency reflect local geology in West Texas and may vary from photos. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes at checkout and our team will do their best to match them, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed. If appearance is critical, request photos from the supplier or order a small test delivery first.
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.
