Why Briar Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Briar is a growing West Texas community with a city population of 6,367 and steady development pressure that mirrors the broader metro area's 2.2+ million residents. With a growth rate of 0.73% annually and a semi-arid climate—232 sunny days per year, 33.60 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8a—homeowners in Briar need durable, low-maintenance landscape and site materials. Gravel is frequently chosen for driveways, drainage beds, and xeriscape projects because it handles intense sun, sheds water during infrequent heavy rains, and limits erosion on sloped lots. As property owners expand patios, pathways, and permeable driveways, quality aggregates that balance appearance, stability, and drainage become essential to protect yards and reduce long-term maintenance. Locally sourced gravel fits Briar's climate by providing permeability where heavy downpours occur and heat-tolerant surfaces under long sunny stretches. Crushed stone and angular gravel stabilize driveway surfaces and reduce rutting, while smaller pea gravel and decomposed mixes work well for walkways and decorative beds. Hello Gravel connects Briar homeowners with nearby suppliers and professional haulers, offering clear pricing, scheduled delivery, a material calculator to estimate needs, and next-day delivery options for orders placed before noon CST. Our regional sourcing means material color and texture will reflect local geology, and our team can help you pick the right size and quantity for your project.Popular Projects in Briar This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Briar gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Briar.
Gravel prices in West Texas typically range depending on type and source; expect roughly $20 to $60 per ton for common materials like crushed limestone or decomposed granite, with specialty or decorative stone toward the higher end. Delivery fees vary by distance, order size, and supplier; many orders qualify for free delivery but remote locations or orders under the minimum may incur a fee. Hello Gravel lists transparent pricing at checkout and has a 3-ton minimum, so check your zip code and delivery quote for the exact cost.
For Briar's hot, dry conditions, crushed limestone and crushed granite are popular because they compact well and resist displacement. Decomposed granite and caliche are good for lower-traffic paths and xeriscape beds, while pea gravel or river rock are decorative but move more under vehicle traffic. Choose a material with angular edges (crushed) for driveways to help lock the surface in place, and lighter-colored stone if you want less heat absorption.
Use this method: multiply length x width x depth (in feet), divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.3 to convert cubic yards to tons (density varies by material). Example: a 1-car driveway 10'x20' at 4" depth needs about 2.5 cubic yards, or roughly 3.2 tons; a 2-car driveway 20'x20' at 4" needs about 5 cubic yards, or about 6.5 tons. For heavier traffic or better longevity increase depth to 6" and add about 50% more material.
Yes, Hello Gravel connects you with local West Texas suppliers and contracted haulers that deliver bulk gravel to Briar. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and can be requested at checkout, but full installation or grading is usually done by local contractors. If you need spreading or complete installation, ask for a quote from a landscape contractor in Briar or request recommendations after placing your order.
Hot sun can bleach and dry fines, while heavy rains can wash fines away and create ruts or potholes, so surfaces in Briar need more frequent topping and regrading than in milder climates. Repeated wet-dry cycles can form hardpan or cause washouts on slopes, so good drainage and periodic re-compacting help maintain the surface. Plan on checking and maintaining gravel after heavy storms and topping up material every 1-3 years depending on traffic.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost but higher ongoing maintenance, while asphalt and concrete cost more initially and typically require less frequent yearly upkeep. In West Texas conditions you might expect a properly maintained gravel driveway to last 10-25 years with periodic regrading and topping, asphalt about 15-30 years, and concrete 25-40 years depending on installation quality and climate stresses. Choose gravel if budget and flexibility matter, but expect routine maintenance in Briar's climate.
Start by clearing vegetation and compacting the subgrade; on poor soils add geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with base material. Install a 4" to 6" compacted base of crushed rock before the final gravel layer for driveways, and use sturdy edging like steel, stone, or a concrete curb to keep gravel from spreading. Proper slope and drainage channels are important in Briar to avoid washouts during rare heavy rains.
Common decorative choices around Briar include pea gravel (small, rounded stones for paths and seating areas), crushed limestone (angular, good for driveways and a lighter color), decomposed granite (natural, compactable surface for patios and paths), and river rock (larger rounded stones for accents or dry creek beds). Each option differs in texture, how well it compacts, and how much it moves under traffic, so pick based on use: compactable crushed stone for driving areas and rounded stones for low-traffic decorative features.
Permitting and HOA rules vary, so check Briar city or county permitting offices and your HOA documents before starting work. Some municipalities regulate driveway widths, setbacks, or require permits for new driveways, and some HOAs restrict materials or colors used for front-facing driveways. Confirm requirements early to avoid rework or fines and keep copies of approvals when ordering material.
Annual costs vary by driveway size and traffic, but many homeowners spend between $100 and $600 per year on periodic light maintenance such as regrading and small top-ups. For a 2-car driveway you may need to add 1 to 3 tons every 1-3 years; material plus delivery for that amount typically falls into the range above, while hiring a contractor for grading or larger replenishment will increase costs. Regular maintenance reduces larger repairs and extends the life of the surface.
Standard delivery is usually available in 2 or more business days, and Hello Gravel offers a next-day delivery option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion based on safety and access, so it is not guaranteed. Include clear delivery notes and site access instructions to improve the chances of successful delivery and spreading.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
