Why Ben Franklin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ben Franklin has a small city population of 157, but it sits within a much larger West Texas region that supports a metro area population of 2.5+ million. That modest local population and a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually point to measured, ongoing demand for residential and infrastructure work rather than boom-and-bust spikes. In practice this means homeowners in Ben Franklin can expect consistent opportunities for landscaping, driveways, and small construction projects as nearby development and regional investment continue. The area's climate—about 228 sunny days per year and roughly 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, with a hardiness zone of 8a—shapes material choices: homeowners need supplies that balance sun and heat resistance with sufficient drainage and erosion control. Quality bulk materials like gravel, sand, topsoil, and mulch matter here because they help manage stormwater, limit dust and erosion under strong sun, and support landscaping suited to local growing conditions.Popular Projects in Ben Franklin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ben Franklin Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ben Franklin.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Delivery fees vary by distance, volume, and supplier availability in the Ben Franklin area; in many areas we offer free delivery. Check your zip code on our site or contact the team for an accurate quote and delivery options.
We partner with a network of local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Ben Franklin and surrounding zip codes. Availability depends on exact location and road access; enter your zip code on our site or contact our sales team to see which suppliers cover your property. Suppliers typically offer a range of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone options.
West Texas heat, wind, and occasional heavy rains influence compaction, dust, and washout risk. Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and resist erosion—for example, stable base layers and properly graded surfacing. Expect regional variation in color and texture for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone due to local geology.
Aim for fall, spring, or mornings in summer to avoid the worst heat and high wind periods; heavy rain events can make sites inaccessible or cause delays. Allow extra lead time around seasonal storms and schedule delivery dates through our checkout calendar to secure a slot. Next-day delivery may be available if ordered before noon CST for urgent needs.
Permits and rules can vary by county, city, and HOA; some driveway work, changes to drainage, or large material deliveries may require permits or approvals. Check with Franklin County and any local HOA before starting work, and secure any necessary permits to avoid delays. Your contractor or our team can help point you to local resources.
Calculate cubic yards by multiplying the area in square feet by the depth in inches, then dividing by 324 (cubic yards = area x depth(in)/324). Add about 5-10% extra for compaction, grading waste, and cuts. Use our online material calculator or contact sales for help converting cubic yards to tons for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone.
Consider native soil type, drainage patterns, slope, and vegetation when choosing materials—poor drainage or clay soils may need a more permeable base. Driveway and pad projects often benefit from a stable subbase and good surface material that sheds water. For large projects get a soil check or contractor assessment to guide the best material choice.
Deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck; provide a stable, level access route, clear overhead obstructions, and a minimum clear path for trucks and a place to turn when possible. Mark drop locations and request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, but note spreading is at the driver’s discretion. If access is restricted, contact our team early so we can plan for smaller trucks or alternate offloading.
Many local contractors combine material supply and installation; pricing depends on site prep, removal of existing material, haul distance, material type, and labor rates. Getting multiple quotes helps compare costs for supply-only versus supply-plus-install options. Bundled jobs can simplify scheduling and logistics on rural properties.
Design grading to move water away from structures and avoid creating concentrated runoff paths; consider swales, edging, and geotextile underlayment to reduce mixing and erosion. Choose materials and placement depths that promote infiltration where desired and resist washout in heavy rains. For steep or drainage-sensitive sites, consult a contractor or civil resource for specific recommendations.
Natural materials vary regionally, so color and texture may differ from photos; if you have concerns contact customer service right away. We can often accommodate changes before processing or dispatch, but changes are subject to supplier and truck schedules. Review our order and refund policies for details and reach out to the team for help resolving issues.
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.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.
