Why Barker Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Barker has a city population of 224 and sits within a slowly growing West Texas region that is part of a metro area with a population of 2.5+ million. Local growth is measured — with a growth rate of 0.20% annually — and development is often focused on practical residential and small commercial projects: driveways, grading for runoff, ranch roads, and landscape hardscapes. Barker’s climate (228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches annual rainfall) and its Hardiness Zone 9a mean homeowners need durable, low-maintenance surfacing that handles intense sun, occasional heavy rain, and native soils. That combination drives demand for quality gravel that provides year-round stability, good drainage, and a natural look that fits West Texas properties. Gravel performs well in Barker’s conditions because it sheds water quickly, resists erosion on slopes, and stands up to prolonged sun exposure without significant breakdown. For pathways, driveways, and perimeter drainage, angular crushed gravel and well-graded mixes give better compaction and traction than round stone. Hello Gravel connects Barker homeowners with local suppliers and haulers so you get regionally sourced materials, clear pricing, and scheduled dump-truck delivery — simplifying selection, estimating quantities, and getting the right gravel to your site when you need it.Popular Projects in Barker This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Barker gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Barker.
Prices in Barker, TX vary by material and local supply, but gravel in Texas commonly ranges from about $20 to $70 per ton depending on type (pea, 3/4", crushed, decorative). Final price depends on the exact product, delivery distance, and truck load size; use Hello Gravel to get an accurate quote for your zip code.
Buying in bulk (minimum 3 tons via dump truck) is almost always cheaper than bags for projects in Barker. Choose standard, locally sourced aggregate and schedule regular delivery (no spreading) to keep costs down, and compare suppliers through Hello Gravel for best rates.
Texas black gravel is a dark-colored landscaping stone often made from crushed basalt or locally sourced dark rock; appearance and availability vary by region. Many West Texas suppliers carry dark decorative gravels, so add color preferences to your Hello Gravel order notes and we will try to match your request.
River rock is rounded and ranges from small to large stones, giving a smooth, natural look and good drainage, while pea gravel is small, pea-size, and well-suited for pathways, play areas, and drainage beds. In Barker's yards, pea gravel is easier to walk on and spread, while river rock is better for decorative borders and erosion control.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10–12 tons (roughly 7–9 cubic yards) of gravel. Coverage depends on depth: for example, one truck (about 8 cubic yards) will cover roughly 1,300 sq ft at 2" depth or about 325 sq ft at 8" depth; use Hello Gravel's material calculator for exact estimates based on your project.
No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a vehicle driveway in Barker. For light-duty driveways consider 3–4 inches of compacted gravel over a stable base; heavier vehicles or poor soils may require 6 inches or a thicker base layer and compaction.
A 50 lb bag of pea gravel is about 0.5 cubic feet, which covers roughly 3 square feet at a 2" depth. For larger projects in Barker, buying by the ton is more cost-effective than using multiple bags.
Standard loose gravel does not harden like concrete, but crusher fines, decomposed granite, and polymer-stabilized gravels can compact into a firm surface that behaves more like a hardscape. Talk to your Hello Gravel rep about stabilized products if you need a near-paved finish in Barker.
'Gorilla gravel' is not a standardized industry term and may be a brand name or local product label; its makeup varies by supplier. Ask your Hello Gravel representative for the product spec sheet so you can compare particle size, fines, and intended uses before ordering for your Barker project.
3/4" refers to the maximum particle size (about 3/4 of an inch). G1 is a graded mix often used as a base and includes a range of sizes plus fines, so G1 is not a single size and can include material both smaller and larger than 3/4" depending on the supplier.
Cost depends on material type, truck size, and distance; a tri-axle load price is the per-ton cost times the tons plus delivery fees. Get an exact price for Barker by entering your zip code on Hello Gravel or contacting our team for a tailored quote.
Local alternatives in West Texas include crusher run (road base), reclaimed concrete, or caliche, which are often less expensive than decorative gravels. These materials work well for base layers, driveways, and utility paths but may not offer the same appearance for landscapers who want decorative finishes.
Avoid pea gravel on steep slopes, in wheelchair-accessible paths, or where it will be subject to heavy vehicle traffic because it can shift and wash out. In Barker's climate, also avoid using it in low spots that collect stormwater without proper edging and drainage.
Barker sits in West Texas where local geology and arid climate influence color, hardness, and availability of gravel; you may see more caliche-based products and dusty, angular crushed stone. Choose materials and depths that suit local drainage needs and seasonal weather, and ask Hello Gravel for regional samples or photos.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; changes are easier to accommodate before processing and dispatch. We'll do our best to modify orders, but availability and processing status with local suppliers and haulers may limit what we can change.
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.
