Why Dilley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dilley, Texas has a city population of 3,250 and sits within a West Texas metro area of 2.7+ million. With an annual growth rate of 0.67% and a climate marked by 228 sunny days per year, gardeners and homeowners here are balancing expansion with the realities of heat, sun, and periodic heavy rain. Annual rainfall of 34.25 inches combined with hardiness zone 8b means properties often need materials that manage runoff, limit erosion, and withstand strong sunlight. That makes quality gravel a frequent choice for driveways, drainage swales, ranch roads, and low-maintenance landscaping. Homeowners seek consistent texture, reliable compaction, and locally sourced aggregates that match soil conditions and reduce future maintenance in this mix of urban-edge and rural projects.Popular Projects in Dilley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dilley gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dilley.
Texas black gravel usually refers to dark-colored crushed stone such as crushed basalt, dark limestone, or processed slag used for driveways and landscape accents. In Dilley, local suppliers may offer darker materials depending on nearby quarries; color and exact composition vary by supplier. If you prefer a darker gravel, add a note at checkout and request photos from your supplier before delivery.
River gravel is rounded, smooth stone collected from riverbeds and is primarily decorative, while pea gravel is smaller, rounded stones about the size of peas used for paths and play areas. Rounded gravel drains well but can shift underfoot; pea gravel is attractive and comfortable to walk on but tends to migrate more than crushed stone. For Dilley yards that get wind and occasional heavy rain, consider edging and a proper base to control movement.
Costs vary with material type, distance and supplier, but a tri-axle dump (commonly 10-12 tons) in West Texas often ranges from about $500 to $1,200 delivered, which works out to roughly $45 to $120 per ton. Final price depends on the gravel type, haul distance to Dilley, and any requested services like tailgate spreading. For an exact price, check your zip code on Hello Gravel and request a quote.
Three common categories are crushed stone (angular rock used for driveways and bases), river/rounded gravel (decorative and for drainage), and recycled/slag material (budget-friendly and dense). Crushed stone locks together for stability, rounded gravel is nicer for seating or garden beds, and recycled materials can be economical for large fills. Choose based on whether you need drainage, stability, or appearance in West Texas conditions.
A 50 lb bag of pea gravel equals about 0.018 cubic yards (roughly 0.49 cubic feet). Spread 1 inch deep, it covers about 5.5 to 6 square feet; at 2 inches depth, it covers about 2.7 to 3 square feet. For larger projects in Dilley it is usually more economical to order by the ton or cubic yard.
Avoid pea gravel on steep slopes, driveways, wheelchair or stroller paths, and areas where frequent vehicle traffic is expected because it migrates and does not compact well. Pea gravel also can be kicked around in high-wind West Texas areas and may be unsuitable near pools or play equipment where small stones are hazardous. In those cases choose crushed stone or a stabilized gravel product instead.
The 3-3-3 mulch rule (3 inches deep, 3 feet from tree trunks, etc.) is specific to organic mulch and does not directly apply to gravel. For decorative gravel, typical depths are 2 to 3 inches for garden beds and 3 to 4 inches for driveways or parking areas, with a proper base and edging. Always leave a few inches of clearance from tree trunks and allow soil to breathe; consider a geotextile fabric under the gravel to control weeds.
Use the formula: length (ft) x width (ft) x depth (ft) = cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards, and multiply by about 2.8 (tons per cubic yard typical for gravel) to get tons. For example, a 10 ft x 30 ft driveway at 3 inches deep is about 2.78 cubic yards, or roughly 3.9 tons; add 10% for compaction and waste. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so small projects might still meet that threshold or you can combine orders.
Yes, properly installed gravel can provide excellent drainage in West Texas by allowing water to percolate rather than pool. For reliable drainage, use a compacted sub-base of crushed stone and a top layer of angular gravel or river rock, and ensure grading directs runoff away from structures. Avoid fine, sand-heavy mixes that can clog and reduce permeability over time.
Hello Gravel serves a nationwide network of local suppliers; check your zip code on our site to confirm availability for Dilley, TX. Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries come from contracted local haulers, minimum orders are 3 tons, and tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver's discretion.
Install a stable edge (metal, stone, or plastic), lay down a permeable geotextile fabric, and use a compacted base layer before adding your top gravel to reduce migration and weeds. Maintain a 2 to 3 inch top course for beds and 3+ inches for driveways, and consider edging and regular raking to keep material in place. For stubborn weeds, spot-treat before installation rather than relying on gravel alone.
Materials are regionally sourced, so gravel color, size and texture reflect local geology and can vary across suppliers in West Texas. Photos are illustrative; if color or texture is important, request delivery photos or samples before the truck arrives.
