Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.

Why Aurora Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Aurora’s city population of 58,330 and a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually point to a modest but persistent demand for home improvements and small-scale construction. That steady growth—rather than a rapid boom—tends to drive renovation, infill, and incremental development projects: driveway repairs, yard regrading, garden refreshes, and accessory-structure builds are common. With 228 sunny days annually and an annual rainfall of 34.80 inches in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners need materials that balance sun exposure and periodic moisture. In practice that means choosing bulk materials that promote good drainage, resist UV breakdown, and support drought-tolerant plantings while standing up to occasional heavy rain. Quality bulk supplies—dirt, sand, mulch, stone, and graded aggregates—matter here because local sourcing and proper gradation directly affect drainage, erosion control, and the long-term performance of landscaping and hardscape work.Popular Projects in Aurora This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Aurora Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Aurora.
Homeowners and contractors in the Aurora area typically use a range of bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone for driveways, paths, pads, and landscape beds. Each class of material serves different purposes: base layers, drainage, finish surfaces, or topdressing. Regional suppliers usually offer locally sourced options that reflect West Texas geology and color variations.
In Aurora's hot, dry climate, materials that drain well and resist breakdown perform best; however occasional heavy rain means good base compaction and drainage are important for all installs. Some materials can shift or wash into low spots during storms, so consider gradation and use of a proper base or edging. Expect color and texture variation due to regional sourcing.
Common concerns in the area include clay pockets, uneven slopes, and drainage toward low areas or roadways. These issues affect material choice and installation method: you may need underfill, compaction, geotextile fabric, or slope correction before placing material. A short site visit or photos sent to our team help identify likely problems before ordering.
Quantity depends on surface area and desired depth; as a rough guideline, one ton of loose aggregate often covers about 40 to 100 square feet depending on depth and material density. Use Hello Gravel's online material calculator or contact our sales team with your dimensions for a tailored estimate. Always order a bit extra for settling, compaction, and waste.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. You choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and will receive order confirmation details.
Prices vary by material type, local availability, hauling distance, and order size, so expect a range rather than a fixed number for Aurora. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing at checkout once you enter your zip code and select materials; shipping and any next-day or special service fees will be shown before payment. Contact our team if you need a neighborhood or contractor estimate based on typical local jobs.
Spring and fall are usually the most predictable seasons for outdoor deliveries and installation in West Texas, with milder temperatures and lower chance of heat-related delays. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during extreme summer heat or immediately after heavy rains when ground conditions can be soft. If you need a specific date, choose a range of acceptable days at checkout and check weather forecasts close to the delivery window.
Contractors in the West Texas area commonly charge for hauling and placement either by the ton, by the hour, or as a flat job rate that includes labor and spreading. If tailgate spreading by the truck is requested, some drivers may do it at their discretion and contractors often charge additional fees for hand spreading or finer grading. Get written estimates that separate material cost, hauling, and spreading so you can compare options.
Key considerations include access for dump trucks, driveway or yard slope, existing soil type, desired finish look, and how the area will be used (foot traffic, vehicles, drainage). Ask for a material sample or photo, confirm delivery placement options, calculate quantities, and check for underground utilities and local or HOA rules before ordering. Contact Hello Gravel with site details and we can help match materials and delivery logistics.
Local city ordinances or HOA guidelines can limit material type, color, and coverage for driveways and visible landscaping, so check your HOA documents and Aurora/Texas municipal rules before ordering. If you are uncertain, request guidance from your HOA or local permitting office and include any restrictions in your order notes. Hello Gravel can help by flagging common regional considerations, but it's the customer's responsibility to verify compliance.
Generally, lower-cost materials may require more frequent topping-up and occasional regrading, while more stable or compactable options can have higher upfront costs but lower maintenance over time. In hot, dry and occasionally wet West Texas conditions, expect periodic replenishment after storms and some seasonal settling for loose surfaces. Consider lifecycle costs—initial material, installation quality, drainage, and expected upkeep—when choosing the right product for your project.
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.
