Why Big Lake Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Big Lake is a growing community of 3,250 residents located within a broader region of 2.5+ million people. That steady 0.70% annually growth rate points to measured, ongoing demand for residential upgrades and small-scale construction rather than rapid boom-town expansion—expect consistent need for home landscaping, driveway repairs, patios, and incremental building projects. With 228 sunny days per year, hardiness zone 8b, and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall, local climate shapes material performance: strong solar exposure increases the importance of UV-resistant surfacing and dust control, while episodic rain means well-draining bases and erosion-resistant top layers are essential. Homeowners in Big Lake need bulk materials that balance durability, drainage, and low maintenance—whether sourcing aggregates, soil blends, mulch, or sand—so projects stand up to heat, sun, and occasional heavy rains.Popular Projects in Big Lake This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Big Lake Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Big Lake.
For driveways consider materials that compact well, shed water, and match the level of traffic expected. Regional options like gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends can all work depending on base preparation, drainage and desired appearance; talk with suppliers about recommended depth and compaction. If you have heavier vehicles or a septic access, plan for a thicker, well-compacted base and consult a contractor if unsure.
Cost varies by material, quantity, distance from the supplier, and site access. Hello Gravel provides upfront pricing and a local quote after you enter your zip code; many areas qualify for free delivery while remote or small orders may incur additional fees, and our minimum order is 3 tons. For a precise number, request a quote with your delivery address and project details.
In West Texas, pick materials that resist breakdown, compact well, and allow adequate drainage to avoid washouts during rare heavy rains. Regional sources of gravel, sand, dirt, stone often have different durability — denser aggregates and mixes designed for compaction generally perform better in heat and drought. Consider stabilizing techniques, edging, or a geotextile base for long-term performance in dry conditions.
Plan projects for spring or fall when temperatures are milder and the ground is easier to work with; these seasons also reduce stress on crews and equipment. Avoid scheduling major earthwork during the hottest summer months or immediately after heavy rains to prevent material displacement or poor compaction. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Yes, many local suppliers and haulers serve rural areas around Big Lake, but delivery availability and cost depend on road access, distance, and gate or turnaround conditions. Hello Gravel connects you to local providers once you enter your zip code; remote deliveries may require additional charges or larger minimums. If your site is hard to reach, provide detailed access notes at checkout so the driver can plan safely.
Measure the area in square feet, decide on the desired depth in feet, then multiply area by depth and divide by 27 to get cubic yards (cubic yards = (sq ft x depth ft) / 27). For example, a 20 ft by 30 ft area at 2 inches deep is 600 sq ft x 0.167 ft ÷ 27 = about 3.7 cubic yards. Remember that converting cubic yards to tons depends on the material type, so use our material calculator or ask our team for an accurate weight estimate.
Hello Gravel connects homeowners to a network of local suppliers so you can compare local pricing, availability, and delivery options for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mixes. Regional sourcing keeps costs reasonable, but prices fluctuate with material type, season and haul distance. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our sales team for quotes and help choosing the best value for your project.
Yes, some city ordinances, county rules or HOA covenants can restrict surface materials, dust control, color, or drainage for driveways and yards. Always check Big Lake city code or your HOA rules before ordering, and include any requirements in your order notes so suppliers can recommend compliant options. If you’re unsure, our team can help you plan materials that meet common local considerations like setbacks and drainage.
Coarser, well-graded materials generally allow better drainage, while finer materials retain water and can be more prone to erosion when exposed to runoff. For erosion control, consider mixes that pack firmly or use heavier stone for slopes, combined with proper grading and vegetation or erosion control fabric. Because regional gravel, sand, dirt, stone vary, ask suppliers about local mixes that balance drainage and stability for West Texas conditions.
Many contractors can handle both delivery coordination and installation, but services vary by supplier and hauler. Hello Gravel manages delivery logistics and connects you with local suppliers and trucking fleets; some contractors or haulers also offer spreading, grading and compaction for an additional fee, though tailgate spreading by drivers is at their discretion. If you need full installation, ask your contractor to coordinate directly with your delivery to ensure timing and access are aligned.
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.
