Why Ennis Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ennis is a community of 28,923 residents experiencing steady, manageable growth at about 0.70% annually. That slow-but-consistent expansion, together with proximity to a metro area of 2.5+ million, drives ongoing demand for homebuilding, repairs, and landscaping rather than sudden construction booms. Homeowners and small contractors in Ennis typically need reliable, predictable supplies of bulk materials—ordered in regular quantities over time—so projects like driveway repairs, patio installs, and yard renovations are common. With 228 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 34.80 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects must balance high solar exposure with periodic rainfall. That means choosing materials that resist UV fading, improve drainage during storms, and help retain moisture for planting beds. Gravel, sand, screened soils, mulch, and landscape stone all play roles in controlling erosion, stabilizing surfaces, and creating low-maintenance yards suited to this climate.Popular Projects in Ennis This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ennis Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ennis.
Delivery cost depends on the material, load size, and supplier distance from Ennis. Most orders start at a 3-ton minimum and prices are quoted per ton or per cubic yard; use our online quote tool to get a local estimate for your zip code (75119). Hello Gravel displays transparent pricing and any delivery fees up front so you can compare options before ordering.
Pick materials that balance drainage and stability to handle hot summers and occasional freezes in Ellis County. Coarse aggregates and well-graded mixes improve drainage and resist frost heave, while properly compacted base materials reduce shifting during temperature swings. Because local geology varies, choose products sourced near Ennis and consult our team if you need climate-specific guidance.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Materials are delivered by local contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle), and service radii vary by supplier but commonly cover nearby counties; check availability by entering your zip code. You can pick a delivery date at checkout and we will confirm timing with you after dispatch.
Spring and fall are generally the best seasons for outdoor projects in Ennis because soils are easier to work and temperatures are milder. Avoid scheduling heavy compaction work during the hottest midsummer days or when the ground is saturated after heavy rain or freezes. Plan ahead for delivery windows and consider local weather forecasts when booking materials.
Local contractors typically focus on proper site preparation: grading for drainage, compacted base layers, and edge restraints before adding surface materials. They often combine materials—gravel, sand, dirt, stone—for bases, bedding, and top layers depending on the project. Ask your contractor about recommended depths and whether geotextile fabric or drainage features are needed for long-term performance.
Ennis and nearby areas can have clay and low-permeability soils that hold water and increase runoff, so choose materials that promote drainage and reduce erosion. Solutions include placing coarse aggregates, adding drainage rock around problem areas, installing geotextile fabric, and creating proper slopes or swales. For steep or eroding sites, contractors may combine materials with retaining elements and plantings for added stability.
Permit and HOA rules vary by project type and neighborhood, so check with the City of Ennis and your HOA before starting work. Simple cosmetic changes may not require a permit, but driveway widenings, curb cuts, or projects that affect drainage often do. If you are unsure, contact local planning or building departments for guidance before ordering materials.
Calculate the area (length x width) and the desired depth, then convert that volume to cubic yards or tons using a material-specific conversion. A common rule is 4-6 inches of compacted base for driveways and 2-4 inches for pathways or garden beds, but requirements vary by material and use. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a quick estimate.
Make a clear, accessible drop zone for the dump truck and remove vehicles, low branches, or obstructions before delivery. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if it can be done safely, but this is not guaranteed, so plan for manual or hired spreading if you need precise placement. Provide gate codes or parking instructions at checkout and confirm access with the dispatcher if your site has limited entry.
Natural materials reflect local geology, so color and texture may vary from photos; if the material looks different than expected, contact customer service promptly and we will work to resolve the issue. Order changes are easier to accommodate before the supplier dispatches your load, so notify us as soon as possible to request modifications. See our order and issue guidance at checkout or contact our team for help.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
