Why Dilley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dilley is a small but growing community with a city population of 3,250 and access to a broader metro area of 2.5+ million residents. That steady 0.70% annual growth points to ongoing, incremental demand for housing and outdoor projects rather than a sudden construction boom; homeowners can expect gradual neighborhood improvements and periodic renovation work. Combined with 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.80 inches in hardiness zone 8b, local conditions favor projects that balance sun exposure and occasional heavy rain. For homeowners that means choosing bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—that resist erosion, accommodate drainage needs, and hold up under high UV exposure. Practical mixes and regional sourcing matter here: materials that reflect West Texas geology will perform better and reduce the need for frequent replacement or costly regrading. Dilley’s climate, soil, and weather patterns create practical considerations for material performance. Clay or compacted soils common in the region can affect drainage and settling, so homeowners should account for compaction, erosion control, and proper base material when planning driveways, beds, or grading. The interplay of 34.80 inches of annual rainfall and long sunny periods increases the importance of stabilizing surfaces and choosing aggregates that handle moisture cycles without excessive washout or dust. Hello Gravel helps local homeowners navigate these trade-offs by connecting them to nearby suppliers with materials suited to zone 8b conditions, offering quantity calculators and delivery scheduling so projects use the right material in the right amount.Popular Projects in Dilley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dilley Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dilley.
Choose materials based on use and maintenance needs rather than one “best” option. For driveways and landscaping in Dilley, gravel, sand, dirt, stone can all work depending on traffic, slope, and desired look; harder, angular aggregates hold up better for driveways while finer materials suit leveling and beds. Consider local climate and drainage when selecting material, and ask suppliers for regional samples or photos.
Pick materials that control erosion, allow proper drainage, and need minimal watering. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone with good drainage properties and stability will reduce washouts in heavy rain and limit vegetation needs in drought. Ask about local performance—regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology and weather resilience.
Spring and fall are often best for installation because temperatures are milder for planting and earthwork, but many aggregate projects can be done year-round. Avoid scheduling right after heavy rains to reduce tracking and compaction issues. Keep in mind standard delivery lead times: Hello Gravel typically requires 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST.
Many local suppliers and contracted haulers do deliver to nearby rural and unincorporated areas, but availability depends on the supplier and access conditions. Delivery to remote sites may have additional fees or requirements for truck access. Enter your zip code or contact our team to confirm service in your exact location.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the depth needed for your project, then convert cubic feet to tons using a material calculator. Hello Gravel offers a material calculator and an aggregate quiz to help estimate quantities. When in doubt, order slightly more to allow for compaction and grading, and ask our team for assistance with your measurements.
Delivery cost depends on material type, quantity, distance from the supplier, truck access, and whether special placement or tailgate spreading is requested. Remote or difficult-to-access sites can add fees, and minimum order sizes apply (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons). Get an upfront quote through the website for clear pricing on your job.
Materials are delivered by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and drivers will place loads where safe and accessible. Tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout but understand it is not guaranteed. Ensure clear access, mark any hazards, and communicate preferred placement notes before delivery.
Local soil type and drainage determine whether you need materials that improve stability, drainage, or erosion control. In areas with compacted or clay soils, adding permeable aggregates can improve runoff and reduce puddling; in sandy zones, denser base materials may be needed for support. Consider a small site test or consult with a contractor to match materials to your ground conditions.
Contractor costs vary based on project size, site prep (grading, removal, compaction), type of material used, and accessibility for trucks and equipment. Labor rates, seasonal demand, and any additional services like edging or compaction also affect the price. Ask contractors for itemized quotes and compare material delivery quotes from Hello Gravel to estimate total project cost.
Local regulations, building codes, and HOA rules can affect driveway materials, drainage changes, and visible landscaping, so check with Dilley city offices or your HOA before starting work. Permits may be required for significant grading, driveway changes, or stormwater modifications. If you’re unsure, contact our team and we can point you to common local contacts, but final responsibility for permits rests with the customer.
Choose materials that limit weed growth, reduce watering needs, and stand up to local weather—options with good drainage and durability are preferable. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone used as mulch, groundcover, or base layers can lower maintenance when combined with proper edging and weed barrier fabric. Think about long-term upkeep, color and texture preferences, and whether you want a permeable surface for runoff management.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easier before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate change or cancellation requests, but ability to modify depends on supplier and trucking schedules. For fastest service call 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734.

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.
