Gravel: Built For West Texas Drainage • Fast Local Gravel Delivery Options
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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Childress Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Childress is a small West Texas community with a city population of 4,750 and a metro area population of 6,800. With a steady growth rate of 0.50% annually and placement in hardiness zone 7a, homeowners here plan for a semi-arid environment that sees about 260 sunny days per year and roughly 21.00 inches of rain annually. That climate and modest but steady construction demand mean residents often need durable, low-maintenance materials for driveways, drainage, erosion control on rural lots, and hardscape accents. Gravel is frequently chosen because it tolerates sun and heat, sheds seasonal runoff during heavier storms, and provides a stable surface for vehicles and foot traffic—qualities that matter when new builds and yard upgrades must balance longevity with affordability in Childress. Locally sourced gravel performs well in Childress’s mix of sun, wind, and occasional heavy rain. Its permeability helps manage the region’s 21.00 inches of annual rainfall by improving drainage and reducing runoff that can erode native soils; at the same time, gravel resists breakdown from intense sunlight across 260 sunny days. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers to deliver the right aggregate on schedule—typically with standard delivery in 2+ business days or next-day options where available—so you get material sized and delivered to match driveways, paths, French drains, and landscape beds with minimal hassle.Popular Projects in Childress This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Childress gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Childress.
Prices vary by material, truck size, and haul distance, but a single tri-axle truckload delivered near Childress commonly falls within a broad range. Expect differences based on whether the material is common road base or a specialty decorative gravel; get an exact delivered price by entering your zip code or contacting our team for a local quote.
For driveways and rural roads in the Childress area, crushed limestone or caliche-based road base mixes are common because they compact well and resist rutting. For surfacing, 3/4" crushed stone or 3/8" to 1/2" screened gravel provide a stable, low-maintenance finish that drains reasonably well in West Texas conditions.
Texas black gravel can often be delivered to Childress if a supplier within hauling range carries it, but it is usually treated as a specialty product. Expect the price to be higher than common local base materials due to longer haul or limited supply; request a quote to see the delivered price and availability for your zip code.
A typical 1-car driveway (about 10 ft by 50 ft) at a 3" depth uses roughly 4.5 to 5 cubic yards of gravel, while a 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 50 ft) at the same depth uses about 9 to 10 cubic yards. Increase thickness to 4" or more for heavier loads; multiply cubic yards by the gravel weight (see next answer) to estimate pounds or tons.
Weight varies by rock type and moisture, but common loose gravel typically ranges from about 2,400 to 3,000 pounds per cubic yard (roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons). For planning truck weight and delivery, ask the supplier for the specific density of the material you select.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which suits many small residential projects in Childress. Delivery charges depend on supplier proximity and road access; many areas qualify for free delivery, but rural hauls or very small loads may incur additional fees, so check the delivered price at checkout or contact our team.
Some local suppliers and independent contractors offer spreading and compaction, but tailgate spreading by the delivery driver is only possible at their discretion and is not guaranteed. Labor and equipment costs vary: expect to pay separately for machine rental or contractor crews (get local estimates), and always confirm services and pricing before order processing.
Angular crushed materials such as crushed limestone and well-graded road base mixes tend to perform best in West Texas because they lock together and shed water. Avoid very rounded gravels that migrate under traffic; ensure good base preparation and proper crown or grading for drainage to handle occasional heavy rain and freeze cycles.
Regional quarries in West Texas and nearby Oklahoma often supply materials to the Childress area, which can lower haul distance and delivery cost. Hello Gravel sources locally where possible, so enter your zip code on the site or contact our team to see which nearby suppliers are available for your order.
Common local materials are usually available with the standard 2+ business day lead time, while specialty or decorative gravels sourced farther east may require longer lead times and extra delivery cost. For faster turnaround, next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST, but specialty orders should be scheduled earlier to ensure availability.
Calculate the volume you need (length x width x depth) in cubic yards, multiply by the price per cubic yard or per ton, then add the delivered fee and any labor or equipment rental for spreading and compaction. Include contingency (10-15%) for waste or settling and request a full delivered quote from Hello Gravel to capture local haul charges and current material pricing.
For heavy farm traffic, use a thicker base layer of 1-1/2" to 2" crushed rock or a well-graded road base mix, topped with a 3/4" to 1" surface layer to resist displacement. Proper compaction and adequate thickness are more important than surface size alone, so plan on a deeper base where tractors and heavy equipment frequently travel.
Typical tri-axle dump trucks that serve rural Texas deliver about 10 to 15 cubic yards of material, which commonly weighs between 12 and 18 tons depending on the gravel density. Exact truck capacity varies by carrier and local regulations, so Hello Gravel will confirm the truck size and estimated tons when you request a delivered quote.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
