Why Buffalo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Buffalo, with a city population of 4,530, is part of a growing West Texas metro and is experiencing steady residential and infrastructure needs driven by a 1.85% annual growth rate. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b—creates a mix of sun exposure and seasonal moisture that influences how yards and driveways perform over time. As homes are updated and new projects pop up, homeowners look for durable, low-maintenance materials that manage water, reduce erosion, and stand up to long sunny periods. Quality aggregates are sought to stabilize surfaces, improve drainage on sloped lots, and give landscape features a finished, low-upkeep appearance.Popular Projects in Buffalo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Buffalo gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Buffalo.
Typical delivered gravel costs to Buffalo (West Texas) commonly fall in the range of about $30 to $60 per ton, depending on the gravel type, supplier, and distance. Rural deliveries to and around Buffalo can add trucking fees, and specialty materials (pea gravel, colored stone) tend to be at the higher end. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and final price will include delivery, any local fees, and taxes — request a quote for a precise number.
For Buffalo driveways, 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone is usually best because it compacts well and sheds water. Decomposed granite is a good low-profile option for paths and patios, while pea gravel is decorative but less stable for driveways unless contained by edging. Consider local drainage and expected vehicle use when choosing; local suppliers reflect West Texas geology and color variations.
Estimates depend on depth: for a 10x20 driveway at 3" depth you need about 2.4 tons, and at 4" about 3.2 tons (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons). For a 12x24 driveway at 3" depth you need about 3.5 tons, and at 4" about 4.6 tons. If you plan a structural base (recommended in Buffalo for drainage), add another 2-4 tons for the base layer; always round up and get a supplier quote.
Start with good drainage: slope the driveway with a slight crown and provide swales or culverts to move water away from the surface. Install a geotextile fabric over the subgrade, then place a 4"-6" compacted base of larger stone and top with 2"-3" of compactable surface stone. Edge restraints and proper grading reduce washouts after heavy storms; avoid placing gravel in natural flood paths without engineered drainage.
Expect light maintenance like raking and filling low spots every 1-3 years, and more after heavy storms or flash flooding. Larger repairs such as regrading, adding new top material (1-2"), and re-compaction are commonly needed every 3-5 years depending on traffic and drainage. Regular maintenance prevents deep ruts and reduces long-term replacement costs.
Pea gravel is often slightly more expensive per ton than common crushed stone because of sourcing and demand, typically $5 to $15 more per ton when delivered. In rural Buffalo, availability can affect price — if pea gravel has to be hauled from farther away the delivery component increases. Ask Hello Gravel for a side-by-side quote of both materials for an accurate comparison.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers serving Buffalo and West Texas, and many suppliers in the region use tri-axle dump trucks for delivery. Common minimum orders are 3 tons (which matches Hello Gravel's minimum), though quarries or smaller haulers may set different minimums. Rural deliveries can have additional per-mile or access fees, so check your zip code and request a quote.
Permit needs vary: Leon County may require a permit for new driveway connections to county roads or for certain drainage impacts, and some HOAs restrict surface materials or require approval. Before installing a driveway, contact Leon County road/permitting office and your HOA (if applicable) to confirm rules and any required permits. Hello Gravel recommends checking local regulations before ordering materials.
Gravel is usually much cheaper up front and easier to repair locally — you can fill ruts and regrade without heavy equipment. Asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but generally last longer with less frequent surface maintenance; however they require a well-prepared base and may need permits. For low-traffic rural driveways in Buffalo, gravel often offers the best cost-to-maintenance balance, especially where drainage and easy repairs are priorities.
A typical durable build is a 4"-6" compacted base of larger, angular aggregate topped with 2"-3" of smaller compactable stone, compacted in 2- to 3-inch lifts. Use a plate compactor or small roller to compact each layer; compaction and proper base stone are more important than simply adding more surface gravel. Adding geotextile fabric and solid edge restraints will further reduce lateral movement and rutting.
Provide a clear drop location and note any access constraints (gates, low-hanging lines, narrow lanes) when you order, since deliveries are typically by tri-axle trucks. Choose a delivery date using the checkout calendar, request tailgate spreading if needed (drivers perform this at their discretion), and allow 2+ business days for standard delivery or next-day if ordered before noon CST. Get a written quote that includes delivery fees, minimums, and any remote-access charges so there are no surprises.
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.
