Why Bishop Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bishop is a small but active West Texas community with a city population of 3,800 and ties to a larger metro area of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually, local homeowners and small contractors are increasingly investing in outdoor projects and property upkeep. Bishop’s semi-arid climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates specific demands for durable, well-draining materials. Gravel is often chosen for driveways, pathways, and drainage because it handles occasional heavy rains, reduces mud, and stands up to intense sun without breaking down like organic mulches. Homeowners look for consistent texture, reliable delivery, and material that suits local soils and slopes, which makes sourcing quality aggregates important for long-lasting results and lower maintenance over time. Gravel suited to Bishop’s environment typically emphasizes drainage and compaction properties to manage runoff and prevent erosion on sandy or clay-influenced soils. Coarse, angular mixes help interlock for stable drive surfaces, while well-graded gravel improves infiltration during the region’s sporadic storms. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and haulers who understand these local needs, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery dates, and regional material sourcing so you get gravel that reflects Bishop’s geology and climate without surprises.Popular Projects in Bishop This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bishop gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Bishop.
Material prices in West Texas near Bishop usually range from about $15 to $50 per ton depending on type (pea gravel at the higher end, crusher run or crushed limestone at the lower end). Delivered prices often run about $30 to $75 per ton once local delivery and hauling are included; final cost depends on distance and truck access. For a simple DIY install, material cost for a one-car driveway (12' x 20' at 3" thickness) is roughly $45 to $225; contractor installation (grading, compaction, edging) can add several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on scope.
Common local options include crushed limestone, crusher run, pea gravel, and river rock. For West Texas heat and low rainfall, crushed limestone and crusher run are popular for driveways because they compact well and resist tracking; pea gravel works well for patios and decorative uses but may shift under vehicle traffic; river rock is decorative and good for xeriscape beds but is not ideal for driveways.
A quick rule: 1 ton of typical gravel covers about 240 square feet at 1 inch thickness. To estimate tons: (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 240. For example, a 12' x 20' one-car driveway at 3" needs about 3 tons; a 20' x 25' two-car driveway at 4" needs roughly 9 tons. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and it is smart to add about 10% extra for compaction and waste.
Heat and drought increase dust, encourage fines to bind, and can dry out soils leading to minor settling; gravel itself does not melt but surface dust may be more noticeable. Occasional freeze-thaw can cause small shifts and frost heaves in poorly drained or uncompacted bases, producing ruts and soft spots. Expect more frequent light maintenance (raking, dust reduction) in hot, dry periods and targeted repairs after any heavy rain or rare freezes; good compaction and drainage reduce issues.
Light regrading and filling of ruts is common once or twice a year after wet seasons or heavy traffic. Plan on a top-dressing (adding 1/2" to 1" of fresh material) every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic, local rainfall, and material type. Using crusher run as a base reduces how often you need major repairs compared with loose decorative gravels.
Local suppliers and haulers typically serve a radius of about 25 to 50 miles from Bishop; exact coverage varies by supplier. Hello Gravel lists a 3-ton minimum per order, standard delivery takes 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees depend on distance, truck type, and site access; many areas have free delivery promotions, but confirm pricing when you check your zip code.
Some properties in Bishop and nearby West Texas towns have local codes or HOA covenants that restrict front-yard materials, gravel color, or unpaved driveways. Before ordering, check with the City of Bishop planning/permit office and review any HOA rules for your neighborhood to avoid fines or required changes. If you’re unsure, contact Hello Gravel or your local building office for guidance before purchasing.
For drainage projects choose clean, washed gravel or pea gravel (typically 3/8" to 1") and use crushed stone or #57 stone as backfill in French drains for better percolation. Avoid decorative river rock for buried drainage because it can leave voids and trap fines; crushed stone with angular grains compacts and sheds water more predictably. Always match gravel size to the drain pipe and local soil—contractors often use 3/4" crushed rock around perforated pipe with 1/4" to 1/2" clean gravel on top.
Measure dimensions and calculate tons using the (area x depth)/240 rule, then add about 10% for settling and waste and respect the 3-ton minimum. Give clear drop-location instructions at checkout, check truck access (turning radius, overhead lines), and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want it, noting drivers will decide safety on arrival. Plan for edging and compaction after delivery; a rented plate compactor and timber or stone edging will keep material in place and reduce migration.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and size can vary based on local geology, so your delivered gravel may not match photos exactly. If color or texture matters, note preferences in Order Notes and ask for photos from the supplier when possible. For projects where appearance is critical, order a small test load or sample before committing to a full delivery.
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.
