1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel

Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications.

Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings.

Why Early Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Early is a small but steadily growing community with a city population of 5,240, situated within a larger West Texas metro area of 2.5+ million residents. A modest annual growth rate of 0.70% points to steady, ongoing local demand for home improvement and light construction projects rather than boom-level development. That steady growth means homeowners and contractors in Early are likely tackling gradual upgrades — driveway repairs, yard regrading, erosion control, and outdoor living improvements — that rely on reliable bulk supplies. With 228 sunny days a year and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall, material choices must balance heat and sun exposure with occasional heavy showers; durable, locally sourced bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, mulch and general aggregates) help manage drainage, reduce maintenance and withstand regional weather patterns. Early’s climate and hardiness zone 8b create practical requirements for materials and installation approaches. Long sunny stretches accelerate drying and can cause surface fading or increased dust, while periodic rainfall requires materials that support good drainage and resist washout or erosion. For homeowners this means prioritizing materials and installation methods that minimize settling, limit runoff, and perform well under both dry heat and episodic rain. Hello Gravel helps by matching local suppliers and haulers, providing quantity calculations, and offering delivery scheduling so homeowners can choose appropriate, regionally sourced materials and get them to the site when conditions are right.Popular Projects in Early This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Early Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Early.
Homeowners and contractors in Early commonly order gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for tasks like driveways, patios, grading, and garden beds. These materials come in different sizes and mixes, so choose based on the function you need (drainage, compaction, finish surface). Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so expect local variations.
Early's heat, sun, and occasional heavy rain favor materials that compact well and resist erosion, such as angular crushed stone mixes for driveways and coarser aggregates for surface drainage. Lighter materials can blow or wash away without proper edging and compaction, so plan for barriers, geotextile fabric, or denser base layers. Consider local climate when selecting particle size and installation method.
Start by defining the primary function: load-bearing surfaces need compactable, angular aggregates; paths and decorative areas can use smaller, smoother materials; drainage requires coarser mixes that water can pass through. Account for expected traffic, slope, and whether you plan to compact or install fabric underneath. If unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact the sales team for guidance based on your project.
Hello Gravel generally requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and actual lead times depend on supplier availability in the Early area. Check your zip code at checkout to confirm availability and see exact timing for your location.
Suppliers in the West Texas region typically deliver within a local radius, which varies by supplier, but Hello Gravel sources from nearby vendors to minimize haul distance. Deliveries are usually made by dump truck fleets (commonly tri-axle trucks) and loads are quoted in tons. If you have a tight access point or long drive, discuss access and truck size with the team when ordering.
Some properties in Early may have HOA rules or local ordinances that restrict surface materials, visible landscaping, or delivery procedures. Always check with your HOA, local city offices, or property management before ordering and mention any restrictions in your order notes so suppliers can plan accordingly. Hello Gravel can help coordinate delivery but cannot obtain permits on your behalf.
Spring and fall are generally the most forgiving for outdoor work in Early because temperatures are milder and soils are easier to work with. Avoid scheduling major grading or spreading during the hottest summer afternoons or during heavy rain seasons to reduce dust, compaction issues, and the chance of washouts. If you need fast turnaround, consider next-day delivery options but account for weather that may delay work.
For erosion and drainage, use coarser aggregates and properly sized base layers with edge restraints and, where appropriate, geotextile fabric to stabilize soil. To reduce dust, choose heavier, angular materials and compact them, or add a finer top layer that binds when compacted. Proper grading to direct water away from structures is essential regardless of material choice.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations; modifications are easier before the order is processed and dispatched but are not guaranteed. Tailgate spreading is an optional service drivers may perform at their discretion—request it at checkout, and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. For major changes after dispatch, expect limited flexibility and possible additional fees.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to calculate volume, then convert cubic yards to tons using a material-specific density (Hello Gravel's online calculator can do this for you). As a rule of thumb, order a little extra to account for compaction and grading—typically 5-10% more for flat projects and up to 15% for deep fills or uneven ground. If you need help, use the material calculator or contact the team with your dimensions for a quick estimate.
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.
