Why Ballinger Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ballinger is a West Texas city with a city population of 4,010 that sits inside a larger metro region of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.25% annually, homeowners and contractors see steady demand for repairs, new driveways, and low-maintenance landscaping projects. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, average annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—means yards face strong sun, occasional heavy rains, and soils that can vary from sandy to clay. Those conditions drive a need for durable, permeable materials: reliable drainage, erosion control, and heat-tolerant surfaces. Homeowners choose quality gravel to stabilize driveways, direct runoff away from foundations, and create low-water landscapes that stand up to the region’s sun and storms. Gravel is particularly well suited to Ballinger’s environment because it promotes infiltration and reduces surface runoff during heavy showers while resisting breakdown under prolonged sun exposure. Angular crushed gravel grades (for example 3/4" to 1") compact well for driveways and paths, while pea gravel or smaller decorative mixes work for beds and patios. Because we source materials locally, color and texture will reflect West Texas geology. Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and haulers, provides transparent pricing and a material calculator, and schedules delivery options (standard 2+ business days; next-day delivery available for qualifying orders) so you get the right gravel delivered when you need it.Popular Projects in Ballinger This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ballinger gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ballinger.
Material prices in the Ballinger area vary by type and supplier, but expect a typical range of about $12 to $45 per ton depending on whether you choose crushed limestone, crusher run, pea gravel, or river rock. Delivery and hauling can add a flat fee or $0 to $40 per ton depending on distance, truck access, and minimums; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and often offers free delivery in many areas. For an accurate price for your address and material, get a tailored quote through our site or by contacting our team.
For Ballinger's hot, semi-arid climate, angular crushed stone (1/2" to 1" crushed limestone or crusher run) is usually best because it locks together, compacts well, and resists rutting. Pea gravel is attractive for low-traffic walkways but shifts and tracks under vehicle traffic, while river rock is prone to movement and is not recommended for driveways. Choose washed, crushed products with fewer fines if dust control is a priority.
Here are typical estimates using 1 cubic yard = roughly 1.3–1.5 tons (we use 1.4 tons/yd3 for quick estimates): a 2-car driveway (20' x 20') at a 3" surface layer is about 3.7 cubic yards (≈5.2 tons) and with a 6" compacted base totals about 7.4 yd3 (≈10.4 tons). A 3-car driveway (24' x 36') at a 4" depth is about 10.7 yd3 (≈15.0 tons). A 100 ft ranch road 12' wide at 4" depth needs about 14.8 yd3 (≈20.7 tons). Always round up and remember our 3-ton minimum when ordering.
Dry West Texas weather increases dust and surface erosion, so choose materials with fewer fine particles or consider a top layer of washed crushed stone to reduce dust. Good compaction, proper base depth, and crown/drainage are essential to prevent washouts during rare heavy rains and to extend service life. For dust control, options include polymer binders, periodic watering, or adding a small percentage of fines—each option affects cost and maintenance schedule.
Contractor pricing in rural West Texas depends on site access and prep needs, but expect rough ranges of about $0.50 to $2.50 per square foot for spreading and compaction on a prepared surface, or roughly $10 to $40 per ton installed when base preparation is required. If the site needs clearing, grading, or drainage work costs will be higher; remote ranch roads often add mobilization charges. Ask several local contractors for written estimates and compare inclusions like compaction passes and edge grading.
Light-use residential gravel driveways in Ballinger typically need regrading every 1 to 3 years and a top-up of material every 3 to 7 years, depending on traffic and weather. Regrading costs for a typical driveway often range from $100 to $500 locally, while adding several tons of gravel for a top-up usually runs $200 to $800 including delivery but excluding installation. Regular simple maintenance—filling ruts, reshaping the crown, and occasional re-compaction—greatly extends life and keeps costs down.
Yes—gravel is generally much less expensive to install upfront than asphalt or concrete, especially for long driveways and ranch roads common around Ballinger. Over the long term, gravel requires periodic maintenance and occasional reapplication, but for low- to moderate-traffic rural properties it is usually the most economical choice. For high-traffic or paved-road standards near public streets, consult local codes and compare lifecycle costs with contractor estimates.
For heavy-use ranch roads, we recommend a compacted structural base of 6" to 12" of crushed rock or recycled base material plus a 3" to 4" wearing layer of crushed stone; include geotextile fabric for soft subgrades. Equipment pads should have 8" to 12" of compacted crushed base with proper drainage and edge restraint to prevent spreading. Proper compaction in multiple lifts and a slight crown for runoff are important to avoid washboarding and potholes.
Permits and rules vary: many rural driveways in Runnels County do not require a building permit, but work in public right-of-way, curb cuts, or connections to city streets in Ballinger may need approval. If you belong to an HOA or live inside city limits, check Ballinger city hall or your HOA guidelines before installation. When in doubt, call the City of Ballinger public works or Runnels County office to confirm local requirements before ordering.
Common stabilization methods in the Ballinger area include geotextile fabric under the base, polymer binders that lock fines together, and plastic or composite grid systems that confine aggregate. Material and installed cost ranges are roughly: fabric $0.15 to $0.50 per sq ft plus installation, polymer treatments $0.50 to $2.00 per sq ft, and grid systems $1.00 to $3.00 per sq ft installed, depending on product and labor. These options reduce maintenance and dust but vary in upfront cost—get local contractor quotes to compare life-cycle value.
