Why Dallas Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dallas homeowners know their city is growing: the city population is 1.1+ million and the metro area population is 2.5+ million, with a growth rate of 0.70% annually. That steady expansion drives demand for new driveways, patios, drainage upgrades, and landscaping projects across neighborhoods and suburbs. Dallas sits in USDA hardiness zone 8b, sees roughly 228/year sunny days, and receives about 34.25 inches of rain annually — a climate that favors durable, low-maintenance exterior materials. Homeowners and local contractors choose quality aggregates to control erosion, improve drainage, and create long-lasting surfaces that stand up to heat, intense sun, and episodic heavy rain. Gravel is a practical choice for Dallas yards because it sheds water, resists compaction in sun-baked soils, and integrates well with native landscapes. Locally sourced gravels reflect regional geology, so textures and colors may vary across the Dallas-Fort Worth area; those variations are useful for matching driveways, pathways, and xeriscape beds. Hello Gravel connects Dallas homeowners with trusted suppliers and professional haulers, handling scheduling, delivery logistics, and material selection guidance so you get the right gravel for your site without the usual hauling hassle.Popular Projects in Dallas This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dallas gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dallas.
Material-only gravel prices in Dallas commonly range from about $20 to $60 per ton depending on type (pea, crushed limestone, granite) and finish. Delivery is often included for orders above the minimum (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), but fees can be $50 to $150 for short loads or remote addresses; Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days, next-day available before noon CST for a fee. Installation by a contractor (including base prep, compaction, and edging) typically runs about $3 to $8 per square foot for straightforward jobs; complex or premium installs can be higher. Prices vary by supplier, access, and site prep requirements, so get a local quote for accuracy.
For Dallas clay soils and hot, sometimes droughty conditions, angular crushed limestone or crushed granite are top choices because they lock together and compact well for driveways and work yards. Washed river rock or larger crushed stone work well for drainage features, while pea gravel is attractive for patios and pathways but tends to shift on clay subgrades and is less stable for driveways. Decomposed granite with a stabilizer can be a good decorative option for Dallas patios and paths if properly compacted and maintained.
Estimated tonnage depends on area and depth. A typical 2-car driveway (20 ft x 40 ft) at 6" depth needs about 20 to 25 tons; smaller 2-car driveways (20 ft x 20 ft) at 6" need about 10 to 12 tons. A 1,000 sq ft patio at 2" depth needs roughly 9 to 10 tons (3" depth ~14 tons). Narrow pathways (3 ft x 100 ft) at 2" need about 3 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or provide exact dimensions and depth to get a precise quote.
Dallas clay soils, which expand and shrink with moisture, can encourage settling and rutting if the subgrade is not compacted or stabilized. Hot summers and drought increase dust and can dry out fines, while occasional freezes can cause minor heaving in poorly drained areas. Regular maintenance in Dallas usually means periodic grading, adding a light topping coat every 1–3 years, and keeping drainage clear to prevent water pooling that accelerates washouts.
Upfront, gravel is generally the least expensive option: often $1 to $3 per sq ft installed for basic gravel, versus $3 to $7 per sq ft for asphalt and $4 to $10 per sq ft for concrete. Over time gravel requires more frequent maintenance—raking, refill, and regrading—while asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but lower routine maintenance and longer lifespans. In Dallas, choose based on budget, desired look, and tolerance for periodic upkeep; get local estimates for a fair apples-to-apples comparison.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which is a common minimum among many Dallas suppliers. Many deliveries are free for standard loads and nearby addresses, but smaller orders or locations with limited truck access can incur fees typically ranging from $50 to $150. Delivery uses dump trucks (usually tri-axle) and you can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout; next-day delivery is available before noon CST for an extra fee.
Contractors in Dallas generally recommend a compacted total depth of 6 to 8 inches for driveways: about 4 inches of crushed stone base compacted over a well-prepared subgrade plus 2 to 4 inches of a wearing layer (¾"-1" crushed stone). Installing geotextile fabric over the subgrade, proper grading for drainage, and sturdy edging help prevent lateral migration and rutting on expansive clay soils. Sites with poor drainage or heavy truck traffic may require a thicker base and more compaction.
Rules vary by HOA and municipality; the City of Dallas does not have a blanket statewide ban on gravel driveways, but local zoning, historic-district rules, and some HOAs may restrict gravel surfaces, colors, or require permits for front-yard driveways. Always check your HOA covenants and contact Dallas city permitting or planning if your driveway affects curb cuts, drainage, or impervious surface allowances. When in doubt, ask Hello Gravel or your local building office before ordering.
Larger, angular aggregates such as ¾" to 2" crushed stone and washed rock provide the best drainage because they create open void space for water to pass through. For landscape drainage, a base layer of 1"-2" crushed stone with a geotextile fabric and perforated drain pipe (french drain) is a reliable Dallas solution. Pea gravel also drains well but floats on clay subgrades and may require an underlayer of larger stone to remain stable.
Typical Dallas contractor prices to install compacted gravel with edging and proper base preparation usually range from $3 to $8 per square foot for straightforward residential jobs; more complex sites, heavy equipment access, or high-end edging can push costs to $8 to $12 per square foot. Some contractors price by the ton for material plus a labor charge; expect to see material costs separately plus $30 to $100 per hour for crew labor depending on scope. Always get multiple local quotes and confirm what each price includes (compaction, fabric, edging, hauling).
