Why Benavides Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Benavides (city population 1,670) sits in a sun-forward corner of West Texas where steady growth and practical home projects shape local material needs. With a regional growth rate of 0.70% annually and a nearby metro area population of 2.5+ million, demand for reliable aggregates supports both small homeowner projects and work from contractors supplying the wider region. Benavides experiences an average annual rainfall of 34.25 inches and about 228 sunny days per year; its hardiness zone is 8b. Those climate factors, combined with local soil types, make homeowners prioritize materials that manage drainage, reduce erosion, and hold up under intense sun. Homeowners choose quality gravel for driveways, pathways, base material under patios and pavers, and to improve yard drainage because it performs well where seasonal rains are concentrated and extreme sunlight can accelerate surface wear.Popular Projects in Benavides This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Benavides gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Benavides.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Delivered price in rural West Texas varies by material and distance; expect a typical delivered range of roughly $30 to $80 per ton depending on gravel type, availability, and haul distance. Some areas have free delivery while very rural drops may carry an extra fee — request a quote for an exact price.
Crushed limestone is common in Texas and is usually the best balance of cost, compaction, and availability for driveways around Benavides. Crushed granite is harder and more durable but is often more expensive and may be harder to source locally. For most rural driveways, 3/4" crushed stone or a 3/4" minus (stone with fines) performs well when installed with a compacted base and proper drainage.
As a rule of thumb, at 3" compacted depth one ton of gravel covers about 70 square feet; at 4" depth one ton covers about 55 square feet. For example, a 1,000 sq ft driveway at 3" depth needs roughly 14 to 15 tons. Adjust quantities up for poor subgrade, heavy traffic, or if you plan on a deeper base.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve the Benavides area. Benavides is a small town (population about 1,670), so heavy equipment rentals may be limited locally — check nearby larger towns or national rental chains, or consider hiring a local contractor who already has a skid steer and plate compactor. Contact our team and we can recommend suppliers or haulers in your region.
Gravel performs well in hot, dry West Texas conditions because it does not depend on moisture to stay stable. Main issues in this climate are dust, washboarding, and migration of fines; routine maintenance includes periodic grading, adding fresh material every few years, maintaining edges, and addressing drainage to prevent erosion. Using a surface with some fines or a stabilizer will reduce dust but may need occasional reapplication.
A well-built gravel driveway in Benavides can last 10 to 20 years with regular maintenance like grading and spot additions. Higher traffic, heavy trucks, or poor drainage will shorten life and require more frequent resurfacing, typically every 3 to 7 years depending on use. Proper base preparation and good drainage are the biggest factors in longevity.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is easiest to repair, but requires regular maintenance and resurfacing. Asphalt offers a smoother surface and longer life than gravel at higher cost and periodic resealing, while concrete is the most expensive upfront with the longest service life but higher repair costs if damaged. For many Benavides properties, gravel is the practical choice for long rural driveways due to cost and ease of local maintenance.
Generally you do not need a permit to have gravel delivered or to place gravel on private property, but connecting a driveway to a public road often requires county approval, driveway permits, or a culvert installation. Rules can vary, so check with Duval County road/engineering office and your local municipality or any homeowners association before starting work. When in doubt, contact county authorities or Hello Gravel for guidance.
For dust control use materials with fines such as "crusher run" or 3/4" minus, or consider a polymer or chemical dust suppressant after compaction. For erosion resistance, build a stable graded base using larger base rock (3" to 6"), geotextile fabric, and good drainage features like swales or berms to channel runoff. Combining a firm base with a fine-topped surface gives the best balance of dust control and erosion protection.
Stabilization options include geogrids under the base, resin-bound or polymer-treated surface binders, and mechanical stabilizers like grid pavers. These options increase upfront cost but are often worth it if you want reduced dust, less rutting, and lower long-term maintenance on a high-traffic area or near homes. For long private drives in Benavides with dust concerns or frequent heavy use, a stabilization investment can pay off in less frequent resurfacing and better year-round performance.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request spreading during checkout. Because Benavides deliveries are handled by contracted truckers, spreading is not guaranteed and depends on site accessibility, safety, and truck equipment. If spreading is essential, mention it in order notes and contact customer service to discuss options or to arrange a contractor to finish the work.

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.
