Why Blanco Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Blanco sits in West Texas with a city population of 6,890 and is part of a metro area with a population of 2.5+ million. The area is experiencing steady development, growing at a rate of 1.56% annually, and homeowners here face project needs shaped by a sunny, semi-arid climate — 228/year sunny days and annual rainfall of 34.67 inches — in USDA hardiness zone 8b. That combination drives demand for durable, low-maintenance surfacing and good drainage solutions for driveways, pathways, patios, and erosion control. Homeowners in Blanco want aggregates that stand up to strong sun, handle occasional heavy storms, and integrate with local landscaping choices, so choosing the right gravel size and type is a practical, long-term decision for both DIY and contractor projects. Gravel performs well in Blanco’s environment: it sheds water quickly after storms, reduces erosion on sloped yards, and provides a stable, permeable base for pavers and driveways under intense sun. Local gravel sourced regionally reflects Blanco’s geology and suits local soil and weather patterns, but color and texture can vary. Hello Gravel connects Blanco homeowners with vetted local suppliers and haulers, offers clear, upfront pricing, and schedules delivery on your timeline (standard delivery requires 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee). We handle coordination so you get the right gravel delivered where and when you need it.Popular Projects in Blanco This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Blanco gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Blanco.
Delivered gravel prices vary by material, distance, and supplier, but within about 50 miles of Blanco you can generally expect roughly $35 to $65 per ton for common gravels. Specialty or washed decorative gravels cost more, and very rural or tight-access deliveries may add a fee. For an exact delivered price, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a local quote.
For load-bearing driveways in West Texas, crusher run (well-graded crushed rock) and TXDOT-spec crushed stone are the most common because they compact well and resist rutting. Pea gravel is attractive and good for low-traffic decorative drives but shifts more under vehicle traffic. Choose material based on traffic, budget, and drainage needs; Hello Gravel can show local options.
Suppliers commonly deliver by tri-axle dump trucks (about 10 to 14 tons) or larger end-dumps for big jobs; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. In many populated areas delivery is included or has a small fee; in rural Blanco locations or jobs with limited access there may be an extra charge. Your exact delivery fee appears at checkout when you enter your address or request a quote.
Gravel provides good surface drainage, but Blanco's clay subsoils can slow infiltration and create pooling unless you prepare the base. Use a compacted crushed-stone base, geotextile fabric, and crown or slope the driveway to shed water away from low spots. Avoid siting gravel in known flood paths or gullies; check Blanco County flood maps before installing.
Using a typical gravel density (~1.5 tons per cubic yard), expect about 0.0093 tons per sq ft at 2" depth, 0.0185 tons per sq ft at 4", and 0.0278 tons per sq ft at 6". That equals roughly 0.93, 1.85, and 2.78 tons per 100 sq ft for 2", 4", and 6" respectively. Densities vary by material, so round up and keep Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum in mind when ordering.
Rules vary: Blanco city, Blanco County, and individual HOAs may have different requirements for driveway surface changes, drainage, and curb cuts. Before you replace pavement with gravel, contact the City of Blanco building or public works office, Blanco County, and your HOA to confirm permits or covenants. If you need help, Hello Gravel's team can advise on local contacts.
Installation costs vary by site prep and access; expect material costs (gravel) plus labor for grading, geotextile, base rock, and compaction. As a rough guide, homeowners often see combined costs in the range of material rates plus $0.50 to $2.00 per sq ft for base prep and compaction, but steep driveways, poor soils, or drainage work can raise that. Get local contractor quotes and factor in the per-ton delivered price from Hello Gravel for an accurate estimate.
In West Texas climate, routine maintenance helps longevity: regrade and fill potholes or ruts once a year, add 1 to 2 inches of topping gravel every 2 to 4 years for moderate traffic, and plan a full refresh or deeper addition every 8 to 15 years depending on traffic and drainage. Proper grading, edge restraints, and occasional compaction extend life and reduce washouts after storms.
Gravel is usually the cheapest upfront and drains well, but it needs more frequent maintenance. Crushed concrete can be a cost-effective recycled option with good compaction but may vary in cleanliness. Asphalt costs more up front, provides a smoother low-maintenance surface, and resists dust, but it is less permeable and more expensive to install—consider soil, drainage, budget, and intended lifespan when choosing.
Yes, both washed/screened landscaping gravels and recycled materials like crushed concrete are commonly available from regional suppliers, though availability and color/texture vary by local geology. Washed and screened gravels are cleaner for decorative uses and cost more than unwashed or recycled options. Use Hello Gravel to view nearby supplier options and photos for your zip code.

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.
