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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Avalon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Avalon has a city population of 430 and sits inside a growing West Texas metro that totals a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate that averages 235 sunny days per year and 34.50 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners here balance long, dry periods with occasional heavy downpours. That climate mix keeps demand steady for durable, well-draining materials: gravel is commonly specified for driveways, perimeter drainage, erosion control, and low-water landscaping. Homeowners choose quality aggregates to reduce maintenance, improve water management during storms, and create hard-wearing surfaces that tolerate strong sun and periodic moisture without breaking down quickly. Gravel performs particularly well in Avalon’s conditions because it promotes fast drainage after heavy rains and resists rutting under sun-baked soils. Properly graded gravel helps stabilize driveways and pathways, supports xeriscaping beds, and creates decorative groundcover that reflects local geology. Hello Gravel connects Avalon homeowners to regional suppliers and trusted haulers, provides clear pricing and delivery scheduling, and handles logistics so you get the right gravel delivered on the date you choose (minimum order 3 tons). Our local sourcing means the gravel you receive reflects West Texas materials and is chosen to suit the area’s weather and soil patterns.Popular Projects in Avalon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Avalon gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Avalon.
Typical delivered prices in the Avalon area vary by material and distance. Expect a rough range of $35-$60 per ton for common crushed limestone, $45-$80 per ton for pea gravel, and $50-$90 per ton for crushed granite or specialty mixes; decorative or colored gravels can be higher. Final price depends on quantity, delivery distance, and local supplier rates—use Hello Gravel to get an exact quote for your zip code.
For West Texas heat and sticky clay soils, crushed limestone or 3/4" crushed stone is usually best because it locks together and sheds water when properly graded. Pea gravel looks nice but tends to migrate on clay and under traffic, while crushed granite can be attractive but may require more containment and maintenance. Choose a coarse, angular material for load-bearing areas and plan for good drainage.
Tonnage depends on width, length, and depth. As a rule of thumb, a standard 2-car driveway (about 20 ft x 40 ft) at 3" depth typically needs roughly 8-12 tons, while a wider 3-car drive (about 24 ft x 40 ft) at the same depth usually needs 10-15 tons; depths of 4" or more increase tonnage by about one third. For an exact amount, use Hello Gravel's calculator or provide your driveway dimensions and desired depth when ordering.
Hello Gravel connects you with local Bosque County and nearby suppliers serving Avalon, with material sourced regionally to reflect local geology. Delivery radius commonly runs 15-50 miles depending on the supplier and truck availability; check your zip code on our site for precise supplier matches and delivery windows. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck.
Maintenance frequency depends on traffic and drainage: light-use drives often need topping every 2-4 years, while heavy-use or poorly drained drives may need attention yearly. Routine maintenance usually involves grading and adding 1"-2" of new material; expect to pay for the gravel itself (roughly $35-$90/ton depending on type) plus any contractor or equipment fees. Budget for periodic top-ups and grading rather than a one-time expense.
Crushed limestone is a versatile, cost-effective choice for paths, driveways, and utility areas because it compacts well and handles heat. Pea gravel is popular for decorative beds and casual walking areas but can shift on clay and is less suitable for driveways. Crushed granite offers an attractive, natural look and good drainage but usually costs more and may need edging or containment to prevent migration.
Regulations vary by property: many rural lots in Bosque County allow gravel, but Avalon city limits or private HOAs may have rules or design standards. Before ordering, check with the Town of Avalon, Bosque County building or zoning office, and any HOA for driveway or front-yard restrictions. If you have questions, Hello Gravel can help you plan but cannot waive local permit or HOA requirements.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost but higher ongoing maintenance for grading and topping; asphalt and concrete cost more initially but generally require less frequent routine topping. Over 10 years, gravel can be more economical for low-traffic rural drives, while asphalt or concrete may be more cost-effective for high-traffic, low-maintenance needs after accounting for resurfacing or repairs. Get local quotes and factor in maintenance, climate effects, and drainage when deciding.
On sloped lots with West Texas clay, start with a stable subgrade and positive drainage to prevent erosion. Install a geotextile fabric where soft clay is present, then place a compacted base of 4"-6" of crushed stone in 2" lifts, compacting each layer with a plate compactor or roller. Use check dams, edging, or terraces on steeper slopes to reduce migration and rutting.
Popular options in the region include tan or river pea gravel (3/8"), gray 3/4" crushed limestone, reddish decomposed granite, and various crushed granite mixes for color. Prices vary by material and rarity—standard crushed limestone often falls in the $35-$70/ton range, while decorative or colored gravels commonly run $60-$120/ton delivered. Availability and exact color depend on local suppliers, so request photos or samples when ordering.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; if you want spreading, request the service at checkout and note any access constraints. Spreading is not guaranteed because it depends on safety, truck access, and the driver's assessment on arrival. If precise spreading is required, consider booking a local equipment operator or contractor after delivery.
Start by measuring length, width, and desired depth in inches and use Hello Gravel's online material calculator to convert to tons or call/text our team for help. Minimum orders are 3 tons; choose your delivery date (standard 2+ business days or next-day if placed before noon CST for an extra fee). Add any notes about delivery access, desired color, or spreading requests so suppliers can prepare the right truck and materials.
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.
