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.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
Garden Soil
Premium garden soil enriched with organic matter—essential for vigorous, healthy plant growth. Ideal for filling gardens, building raised beds, and enhancing tired or compacted soil. Fulfillment 20-40% organic is ideal
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).

Why Austin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a city population of 947,798 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million, Austin is a growing urban region whose steady 0.40% annually expansion translates into ongoing home renovation, new construction, and landscaping activity. That steady growth keeps demand consistent for bulk materials—everything from soil and sand for grading to mulch and stone for hardscapes. Austin's climate and geography—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days/year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall—mean projects must balance intense sun and heat with episodic rain. In practice that raises priorities like erosion control, reliable drainage layers, UV-stable finishes, and materials that resist washout during storms. For homeowners this means choosing the right gradation, texture, and quantity of materials to match long-term performance and sourcing materials locally so they reflect regional geology. Quality bulk materials reduce rework and support durable drives, patios, and planting areas in Austin's environment.Popular Projects in Austin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Austin Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Austin.
Prices vary by material, quantity, and supplier, but cost depends mostly on the volume (cubic yards or tons) and local hauling fees. In Austin expect price differences based on regional sourcing and seasonality; use our online quote tool to get a precise estimate for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates. We show transparent pricing at checkout and can provide delivery options and fees before you confirm.
Buying in bulk usually lowers the per-unit cost compared with bagged materials, especially for larger jobs. Savings depend on your project size, storage space, and whether you need spreading or special delivery services; factor in delivery fees and hauling access when comparing options. For orders under our minimums or for small gardens, bags can still be more convenient.
Calculate area (length x width) and decide on the desired depth in inches to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Use our material calculator or ask our team if you prefer tons—density varies by material so tonnage estimates differ. We recommend ordering a little extra (5-10%) for compaction, settling, and grading waste.
Depth depends on the material and use: decorative beds often need 2-4 inches, pathways and base layers typically range from 2-6 inches, and structural bases under pavers or driveways may require 6 inches or more. Local soil, drainage needs, and expected traffic in Austin's climate can change recommended depths, so confirm with our team or your contractor. Drivers may be able to spread material at delivery if requested, but this is at their discretion.
Coverage depends on material density and required depth. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3 inches depth; tonnage per cubic yard varies by material and moisture, so a ton can cover less or more area. Use our calculator or contact us with your area and depth to get an accurate estimate for your chosen material.
A standard full-size pickup may hold roughly 1 cubic yard if loaded carefully, but loading to that level can be heavy and may require tarps and safe weight distribution. For deliveries, we use dump trucks that handle larger loads more safely and legally; check vehicle capacity and local hauling rules before attempting to move bulk material yourself. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and we can deliver directly to your site.
First decide depth: for example, 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches depth equals about 6.2 cubic yards (1000 x 2/12 ÷ 27). Convert cubic yards to tons with the material-specific density or use our online estimator to get a tonnage estimate and price. Local availability and seasonal demand affect cost, so get a quote for the most accurate price.
Materials with good permeability and stability are best for erosion control and drainage; base aggregates and coarser mixes usually perform better than fine sands in heavy rain. Local geology in Austin and the Hill Country can influence material choice, so we recommend matching material size to slope, soil type, and drainage needs. Contact our team for guidance on materials that balance drainage, durability, and appearance.
Home projects like garden beds, pathways, patio bases, and driveway resurfacing are common, as are contractor jobs like erosion control, site grading, and new construction bases. Austin’s growth also drives landscaping for new residential and commercial developments, so ordering bulk aggregates is typical for both DIY and pro jobs. Use our project calculators or speak to our sales team to match materials and quantities to your project type.
Standard delivery is available in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often possible if you order before noon CST for eligible zip codes including 73301. We confirm delivery windows and provide an eta before dispatch, but exact timing can vary with traffic, weather, and supplier schedules. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets.
Drivers may be able to provide limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. You can request spreading at checkout so the driver is aware, but plan to have tools or labor ready in case spreading cannot be performed. For larger spreading jobs, consider hiring a local contractor or requesting additional services through our partners.
Regional sourcing means texture, grading, and color can vary based on local geology, so samples or pictures are helpful when appearance matters. Think about function first—durability, drainage, and compaction—then choose color and texture that fit your design. If appearance is critical, add color notes at checkout and contact our team to discuss nearby supplier options and expected variation.
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.
