Why Bells Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bells is a small but steadily growing West Texas community with a city population of 3,480 and ties to a larger region of 2.5+ million people. Local growth of 0.40% annually and steady development mean more homeowners are updating driveways, patios, and yard drainage. Bells sits in hardiness zone 8b and enjoys about 225 sunny days each year, with moderate precipitation totaling 34.70 inches annually, conditions that support year-round outdoor work but also create periodic runoff and dust issues. For homeowners that means reliable, low-maintenance materials are in demand: aggregates like gravel offer durable surfacing, improved water management, and a natural look that suits the local landscape and regional geology.Popular Projects in Bells This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bells gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Bells.
Local landscape gravel in Bells commonly ranges from about $25 to $55 per ton depending on type (pea gravel and decorative stone cost more). Hello Gravel lists a 3-ton minimum order and often includes free delivery in many areas; when delivery fees apply you can expect $50 to $200 depending on distance, truck type, and job access. For exact pricing and any next-day fees, check our checkout for your zip code or contact our team.
For Bells and West Texas, angular crushed limestone or crusher run perform best because the angular pieces lock together and resist rutting in hot, dry conditions. Pea gravel and decomposed granite can be attractive but tend to shift and rut under vehicle traffic unless contained and stabilized; use them for low-traffic or decorative areas instead. For heavy use, choose crusher-run or 3/4" minus crushed stone over a compacted base and consider a geotextile for clay-prone spots.
For 1,000 sq ft, a 3" depth requires roughly 12 to 15 tons of 3/4" crushed gravel, and a 4" depth requires roughly 17 to 19 tons. Exact tonnage depends on the stone density and compaction; we recommend ordering a little extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and spreading losses. Hello Gravel also requires a 3-ton minimum per order.
Most residential driveway installations in Bells do not require a permit, but rules vary by municipality and for commercial or public-right-of-way access you may need a permit from Grayson County or the City of Bells. If your work changes access to a state road or affects drainage, contact Grayson County planning or TXDOT for requirements before you start. When in doubt, call your city or county permitting office to confirm.
Hot, dry summers in West Texas can cause fines to harden and increase dust, while infrequent heavy rains can create washouts and ruts on poorly-drained areas. Gravel in Bells typically needs periodic regrading, compaction, and topping up after storms or seasonal use; with proper base and drainage it can last many years. Expect more frequent surface maintenance than with paved surfaces, especially on slopes or high-traffic areas.
Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and contracted haulers who commonly deliver by tri-axle dump truck; some drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if it can be done safely. Suppliers often provide tiered pricing for larger orders, with per-ton discounts for full-truck loads or several truckloads—contact our sales team or request a quote at checkout to see commercial pricing. Keep in mind minimum order sizes and that spreading is not guaranteed.
Gravel is a permeable surface and can help manage runoff, but its effectiveness depends on underlying soils: sandy soils drain well, while heavy clay limits infiltration and may cause surface pooling. For clay sites in Bells, use a layered design (geotextile, coarse stone, and subdrain or infiltration trench) to improve drainage and prevent clogging. Consult with a local installer or our team for soil-specific solutions and recommended base details.
Plan for light maintenance annually (raking and regrading) and moderate maintenance every 2 to 5 years (adding 1 to 3 inches of fresh stone, about 1 to 3 tons per 100 sq ft depending on depth). Budget roughly $100 to $600 periodically for regrading or small replenishments, and $300 to $1,500+ for larger refreshes depending on quantity and delivery. Weed control, dust suppression, and occasional compaction are additional ongoing tasks to include in your budget.
Upfront cost for a gravel driveway is typically the lowest: many Bell homeowners pay under $2 per sq ft installed for a basic gravel surface, while asphalt usually runs $3 to $6 per sq ft and concrete $4 to $8 per sq ft. Over a 20- to 30-year period, gravel has higher recurring maintenance (replenishment, grading) but much lower initial expense; asphalt and concrete have higher upfront costs but lower routine maintenance and longer resurfacing cycles. Choose based on budget, traffic load, and how much maintenance you want to manage.
For heavy-use areas, start with a geotextile fabric, then install a 6" to 12" compacted structural base of large angular stone or crusher-run, topped with 4" to 6" of well-graded surface stone. Compact each layer to high density (mechanical roller or vibratory compactor) and provide positive surface drainage to prevent standing water and rutting. For dust control and longer life on ranch roads, consider stabilizers or periodic application of calcium chloride and schedule routine grading and spot repairs.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
