Gravel: Built For West Texas Drainage • Next-Day Gravel Delivery In Canton
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Canton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Canton, with a population of 13,390, sits in West Texas where steady growth (0.40% annually) and an active building scene drive ongoing demand for quality aggregates. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners and contractors need materials that stand up to strong sun, occasional heavy rain, and local soil conditions. Gravel is a go-to choice for driveways, drainage trenches, base layers for patios and pavers, and xeriscape covers because it provides reliable drainage, reduces erosion, and keeps maintenance low. Whether you are fixing a worn driveway or preparing a new hardscape, predictable sizing, consistent compaction, and local availability matter for long-lasting results.Popular Projects in Canton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Canton gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Canton.
Delivery costs in Canton vary by material type, load size, and distance to the supplier, but you can generally expect a delivered gravel price in the West Texas area to fall in a broad range of roughly $20 to $50 per ton including delivery. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, and some suppliers or haulers may add fees for short runs, tight access, or next-day requests. Check our checkout for exact pricing and delivery options for your zip code.
For Canton’s hot summers and intermittent heavy rain, angular crushed stone or crushed limestone with fines is usually best because it locks together and sheds water when installed with a crowned surface. Decomposed granite or polymer-stabilized mixes work well for lower-traffic decorative drives, while river rock and loose pea gravel tend to migrate or wash out during heavy storms. For roads and higher-traffic drives, use a compacted crushed-stone base under a smaller, binding top layer.
For a 12x40 (480 sq ft) driveway, plan on about 6.2 tons at 3 inches, 8.3 tons at 4 inches, and 12.4 tons at 6 inches using a common conversion of 1.4 tons per cubic yard. We recommend ordering 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and waste, so round up to the nearest full ton (for example, order about 7, 9, and 14 tons respectively). Actual weight can vary by gravel type and moisture, so use our material calculator or contact our team for a precise quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers that deliver to Canton; availability depends on your zip code and timing. Some local drivers and contractors offer tailgate spreading, but it is done at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed; you can request spreading in the Order Notes and we will pass that to the driver. For full spreading and grading, we recommend hiring a local landscaping or dirt contractor—contact our sales team for recommendations in the Canton area.
Canton soils range from clay and hardpan to sand, and these affect drainage and how a gravel base behaves: clays can retain moisture and heave, hardpan can limit drainage, and sandy soils can drain but shift if not confined. Proper preparation—excavating to firm subgrade, installing geotextile fabric, adding a compacted crushed-stone base, and creating a surface crown—greatly extends longevity. If you have persistent clay or poor drainage, consider deeper base material, drainage swales, or French drains to prevent washouts and rutting.
Maintain gravel driveways in Canton by regrading and adding small amounts of fresh top material every 1-3 years, especially after heavy storms, and by fixing ruts and low spots promptly. For dust control consider products like polymer binders, calcium chloride, or magnesium chloride applied by a local contractor; vegetation is best handled with a pre-emergent herbicide, periodic pulling, or landscape fabric under the gravel. Regular light grading with a rake or small box blade keeps the surface even and improves drainage.
Crushed concrete can be more affordable up front if it is locally available, and it compacts well as a base, but it can break down differently than natural stone and produce more fines over time. Natural crushed limestone or granite often provides better long-term stability and appearance in West Texas, but availability and local prices will drive the final decision—compare delivered costs and ask suppliers about source and expected performance. Hello Gravel can provide local pricing so you can compare material and delivery costs side by side.
A well-installed gravel driveway in Canton can last 10-25 years with regular maintenance; key factors are base depth and compaction, drainage, traffic load, and local soil type. Heavy vehicles, poor drainage, and lack of maintenance shorten lifespan, while a thick compacted base, crown for runoff, and routine regrading extend it. Regional flash rains and erosion are common failure modes in West Texas, so prioritize drainage design.
Permit and HOA rules vary: rural properties in Van Zandt County often have fewer restrictions, but city limits and subdivisions in Canton may require permits or have HOA covenants that restrict gravel in front yards or visible areas. Before ordering material, check with Canton city building permits or your HOA for driveway surface rules, setback, and curb-cut requirements, and verify any county road access permits if you connect to a public roadway. If you are unsure, our team can help point you to local resources.
On slopes in Canton, use a multilevel approach: a larger angular base (1 to 1.5 inch) compacted under a 3/4-inch crushed stone or 3/8-inch minus top layer that contains fines to bind the surface. Consider polymer-stabilized gravel, decomposed granite with stabilizer, or a road-base mix that includes fines to reduce migration, and install geotextile fabric and terraces or check dams where needed. Good drainage details—crowns, side ditches, and rock-lined swales—are critical to prevent washouts during heavy West Texas rains.
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.
