Why Cove Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a city population of 1,500 and located inside a metro area of 2.5+ million, Cove is a small but steadily growing West Texas community expanding at about 0.70% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall—combined with hardiness zone 8b favors low-maintenance, drought-tolerant landscaping and durable exterior surfaces. Homeowners in Cove are often tackling projects that require good drainage, erosion control, and materials that stand up to heat and sun: driveways that resist rutting, front-yard designs that cut water use, and backyard grading that prevents pooling. That steady local demand makes quality aggregates like gravel a go-to choice for both practical performance and curb appeal. Gravel works well in Cove’s environment because it promotes quick drainage during the region’s seasonal rains and tolerates prolonged sun exposure without breaking down. Local gravel varieties reflect West Texas geology, so texture and color can vary; crushed angular gravel offers interlock for driveways while rounder stones are common for decorative beds. Hello Gravel simplifies getting the right material by connecting you with trusted local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, providing clear pricing, schedule options, and guidance to match gravel type to your site conditions and project goals.Popular Projects in Cove This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cove gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Cove.
Delivered price per ton in Cove and broader West Texas commonly ranges from about $30 to $70 per ton depending on material type, local supply, and hauling distance. Specialty materials like decorative river rock or screened granite are at the higher end; common crushed limestone or base gravel is toward the lower end. Exact pricing is quoted during checkout and can vary by supplier and time of year.
Common types include crushed limestone (good for driveways and base layers), pea gravel (decorative patios and drainage areas), river rock (landscaping accents and dry creek beds), and crushed granite or decomposed granite (walkways and compacted paths). Each type has different look and performance: crushed stone locks together for driving surfaces, while rounded river rock moves more and is mainly decorative or for erosion control.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, which reflects typical supplier minimums in Cove and West Texas. Delivery fees depend on distance and site access; many areas offer free delivery while remote or difficult-access sites may incur a charge. You will see delivery cost at checkout and can request a delivery date during ordering.
Cove's hot summers, occasional flash floods, and clay soils mean you should pick materials that handle heat and drain well. Rounded river rock or pea gravel sheds water but can migrate in floods, while crushed limestone or washed base rock compacts and resists movement better on driveways. For areas prone to standing water, add a drainage layer and consider geotextile fabric to prevent clay contamination.
Measure length and width in feet and choose your desired depth in inches, then use the formula: cubic feet = length x width x depth (in feet), convert to cubic yards by dividing by 27, and multiply cubic yards by the material's weight (about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on type). For a typical driveway base: 6 inches compacted is common, and allow a 10-20% extra for compaction and waste. If you prefer, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a quick estimate.
Local building permits are usually not required for residential gravel driveways, but Cove or county rules and HOA covenants can restrict surface materials, color, or edging. Check your HOA guidelines and call local permitting offices to confirm before ordering. If in doubt, save your order notes and ask our team for documentation tips to present to your HOA.
Professional installation costs vary but typically range from about $3 to $8 per square foot for full service including base prep, geotextile fabric, grading, and compaction, depending on access and site complexity. Simple overlays cost less, while sites needing excavation, drainage work, or significant hauling increase the price. Get a local contractor quote for firm pricing; Hello Gravel can help coordinate suppliers and delivery to your installer.
Maintenance frequency depends on use and material: light-use decorative paths may need attention once a year, while driveways and ranch roads typically need regrading and fresh material every 3 to 7 years. Crushed, angular materials that lock together tend to last longer with less spreading, while rounded gravels move and thin faster. Regularly filling low spots, regrading, and adding fresh stone after heavy rains will extend the life of the surface.
For erosion control use larger, angular crushed stone or riprap-size rock on steep slopes and near waterways, and medium-sized angular aggregate for ranch roads to provide traction and resist washouts. Combine rock with geotextile fabric and strategic swales or check dams to slow runoff in flash-flood-prone areas. Planting native grasses alongside rockwork also helps stabilize soils in Cove’s climate.
Gravel and crushed rock are similar; crushed rock has angular edges that compact well for driveways, while rounded gravel is more decorative and less stable under traffic. Decomposed granite makes a firm, natural-looking path when compacted but can dust and harden differently in heat and clay soils. Pavers provide a low-maintenance, long-lasting option but cost more up front and require proper base work to prevent shifting in freeze-thaw or clay conditions common around Cove.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and you can request this service at checkout; however, it is not guaranteed and depends on site safety and equipment. Most deliveries are made by tri-axle dump trucks that place material in one spot, so plan for additional spreading or hire a local contractor if precise distribution is needed. Note that Hello Gravel coordinates delivery; final decisions about spreading rest with contracted drivers.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and stone size may vary based on local geology, so your gravel may not match photos exactly. Photos show typical examples, but natural variation is expected and does not indicate inferior quality. If color or texture is important, add notes in your order and ask our team for the closest local match before ordering.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
