Why Benjamin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Benjamin has a population of 270 and sits within a growing West Texas region that is expanding at a 2.50% annual rate. The town experiences a semi-arid climate, with 230/year sunny days, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b—conditions that shape how landscapes settle and drain. That steady growth means more homeowners are taking on driveways, drainage fixes, and low-maintenance landscaping projects. For these jobs, quality aggregates matter: the right gravel reduces erosion, improves drainage, and creates durable, low-upkeep surfaces. Because local geology affects color and texture, Benjamin homeowners often prefer locally sourced materials that match soil conditions and withstand seasonal sun and storms. Gravel is a practical choice in Benjamin for stabilizing driveways, creating dry creek beds, and topping pathways where water needs to move quickly away from structures. In a place with 34.00 inches of rain and long stretches of sun, angular and well-graded gravels shed water, lock together for traction, and resist displacement. Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, making it simple to order the right material, schedule delivery, and get expert guidance on quantities and placement. We handle coordination so you get consistent materials and timely deliveries suited to Benjamin projects.Popular Projects in Benjamin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Benjamin gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Benjamin.
In Benjamin and West Texas you’ll commonly find crushed limestone, caliche (locally common), river rock, pea gravel, and crushed concrete. Regional geology means color and texture can vary, so ask your supplier for a photo or sample before ordering.
Crushed stone (typically 3/4" to 1") such as crushed limestone or crushed rock is the most durable option for driveways and high-traffic areas. These angular stones lock together when compacted, while caliche can be cheaper but may break down faster in heavy use.
Broadly, gravel falls into decorative (pea gravel, river rock), structural/crushed (crusher-run, #57 stone), and screenings/stone dust (fines used for compaction). Decorative gravel is for beds and paths, crushed stone for driveways and bases, and screenings for leveling and compacting.
Well pack gravel is typically clean, washed sizes in the 3/8" to 3/4" range, sometimes up to 1" depending on well specs. Always follow your well contractor or local code, since they specify the exact size and gradation required for proper filtration and flow.
Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect a delivered tri-axle load (about 8 to 12 tons) to range widely depending on material—often roughly $30 to $80 per ton in rural West Texas. Hello Gravel can get you a local quote for Benjamin quickly; remember our minimum order is 3 tons and final price shows at checkout.
No gravel turns into concrete, but 'crusher run' or '3/4" minus' (also called quarry process) compacts into a very firm surface because it contains mixed sizes and fines. Use this as a base layer if you want a stable, compacted surface for driveways or patios.
You can, but it’s not ideal without prep: grade and compact the dirt, install a geotextile if you have weed or washout concerns, and add a compacted base layer (crusher-run) before the finish gravel. For paths plan 2"-3" of finish gravel, and for driveways 4"-6" total compacted depth.
Number 1 gravel is one of the larger sizes (roughly 2" to 4") and is commonly used for heavy drainage, erosion control, and large-scale fill. It’s not typically used as a finished surface because of its large, irregular pieces.
Local caliche or crushed recycled concrete are often the cheapest options in West Texas since they are locally available and require less hauling. Prices depend on local supply, so check Hello Gravel for current local quotes and minimum order details.
A mixed-size product such as crusher-run or 3/4" minus compacts best because the smaller particles fill voids between larger stones to create a dense mass. For top layers use uniform sizes (like 3/4" or pea gravel) depending on the desired look and drainage.
Ten tons is roughly 7 cubic yards (varies by rock type). That will cover about 700 sq ft at a 3" depth or about 1,100 sq ft at a 2" depth; actual coverage varies with gravel size and moisture content.
'57 stone' originally described a common crushed stone size roughly 5/8" to 3/4" used for driveways and drainage. The name comes from early industry sizing classifications and is now shorthand for that particular mix of small crushed stone.
Yes, gravel is permeable and allows water to pass through, but compaction and fines (like crusher-run) reduce permeability compared with loose, larger stone. For good drainage use larger, clean stone beneath a compacted base or include drainage pipes if you expect heavy runoff.
For a 20 ft wide driveway, calculate area (width x length) and desired depth; for example a 20 ft x 50 ft driveway at 4" depth needs about 25 cubic yards, roughly 35 to 40 tons depending on material density. Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel with your exact dimensions to get a precise quote and delivery options.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
