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
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
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.
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.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.

Why Balch Springs Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Balch Springs is a city of 22,810 residents situated near a metro area of 2.5+ million. A steady growth rate of 0.70% annually points to gradual, dependable demand for new construction and home improvement projects rather than sudden booms; that steady expansion typically drives consistent need for driveways, patios, garden upgrades, and routine site work. Local climate and geography — including 228/year sunny days, 34.80 inches of annual rainfall, and a plant hardiness zone of 8b — create a mix of requirements: materials must handle strong sun and periodic rain, promote proper drainage during storms, and support drought-tolerant landscaping where water conservation matters. Homeowners increasingly favor low-maintenance, durable solutions, effective stormwater management, and products that reduce dust and erosion, so having reliable access to a range of bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone) matters for long-term performance and curb appeal.Popular Projects in Balch Springs This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Balch Springs Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Balch Springs.
Delivery costs vary by material, quantity, and exact delivery location in Balch Springs. Expect pricing to include a per-ton material rate plus a delivery fee; Hello Gravel lists a minimum order of 3 tons. Use the online checkout to see transparent quotes for your zip code and check for possible fuel surcharges, next-day fees, or minimum-delivery fees.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Balch Springs, with delivery radii that depend on each supplier. Many suppliers serve customers within a 20-50 mile range of the city, but availability and fees depend on the supplier and truck routing. Check availability by entering your zip code and pick a delivery date in checkout to see which providers serve your address.
Balch Springs' regional climate (hot summers and periodic heavy rains) and local soil types can affect compaction, drainage, and erosion. Choose materials that handle seasonal moisture and provide stable drainage; for example, select aggregates known for good compaction and permeability for driveways and base layers, and blended soils for planting areas. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so consider performance needs first and appearance second.
Permit requirements vary by project size and neighborhood; small residential deliveries usually do not need a city permit, but driveway reconstruction, curb cuts, or prolonged street storage may require city or county approval. Check Balch Springs city rules or your local permitting office before scheduling large deliveries or leaving materials on the street. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or your local building department to confirm requirements.
Yes, many HOAs and private covenants have rules about visible materials, driveway finishes, delivery times, and where material can be stored. Before ordering, review HOA guidelines and get any required approvals to avoid fines or rework. If you are unsure, ask Hello Gravel for delivery timing suggestions or to include special delivery instructions in the order notes.
Spring and fall are often the best months for outdoor work in Balch Springs because temperatures are milder and soils are workable; summer can be hot and winter can bring occasional wet periods that slow progress. Contractor availability can be tight in spring and early fall, so schedule a few weeks in advance and use Hello Gravel's scheduled delivery calendar to secure material delivery. For drainage work, avoid peak rainy periods to reduce delays and erosion risks.
Common estimates are 3-6 tons for small patios or pathways, 6-15 tons for a typical single-car driveway top layer, and 10+ tons for larger driveway projects or major grading. Hello Gravel's material calculator converts between cubic yards and tons to help you estimate based on project dimensions and depth. When in doubt, order slightly more to account for compaction, waste, and grading variations.
Additional fees can include delivery minimums, fuel surcharges, next-day delivery charges, and fees for difficult access or long haul routes. Hello Gravel displays any applicable fees at checkout so you can see a clear total before you buy. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed and may incur extra charges if arranged.
Next-day delivery is commonly available for orders placed before noon CST, usually for an additional fee, while same-day service is less common and depends on local supplier schedules. Hello Gravel's checkout calendar will show available delivery dates, including next-day options when possible. Plan ahead when possible to secure preferred dates and avoid rush fees.
Common concerns include surface runoff during heavy rains, soil erosion on slopes, and poor infiltration in compacted clay soils. Choose materials and gradation that promote proper drainage, use base layers where needed, and pair materials with appropriate edging or retaining solutions to prevent washout. For larger drainage issues, consult a contractor and consider adding fabric, geotextiles, or graded slopes to manage flow.
Clear and level the intended delivery spot, mark driveways and obstacles, and ensure trucks can access your site without blocking traffic or violating local rules. Communicate any gate codes, parking restrictions, or required permits in the order notes and confirm placement preferences at checkout. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but you should plan for basic spreading and compaction after delivery.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
