Why Ferris Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ferris (city population 7,910) sits within a growing West Texas region (metro area population 2.5+ million) where steady development and a 0.40% annual growth rate are driving demand for durable landscaping and site-prep materials. With 225 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 34.50 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b, local yards and driveways face cycles of sun exposure and occasional heavy rain. That combination increases the need for aggregates that provide reliable drainage, reduce erosion, and stand up to heat without excessive maintenance. Homeowners in Ferris often choose gravel for driveways, pathways, French drains, and base layers because it compacts well, sheds water quickly, and complements xeric plantings suited to the local climate.Popular Projects in Ferris This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ferris gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ferris.
For Ferris and the surrounding West Texas area, 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone is a common choice for driveways because it compacts well and sheds water. For top dressing or decorative areas, 3/8" to 1/2" washed gravel works well while maintaining drainage. Use a compacted base (dense-graded aggregate) under the top layer to resist rutting in hot, occasionally heavy-rain conditions.
Delivered gravel prices vary by material and distance; a typical delivered range for common crushed stone or limestone in Texas is a moderate range depending on local supply and truck access, so the best way to get an exact cost is to request a quote. One cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons depending on the material, and Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing and delivery charges at checkout. Installation (spreading and compaction) is not guaranteed with delivery; some suppliers or local contractors will charge separately to install.
Hello Gravel delivers to Ferris through local suppliers and contracted trucks with a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery scheduling is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is done at the driver's discretion and is not a guaranteed installation service.
For drainage and low maintenance in Ferris, crushed limestone or washed crushed gravel usually performs best because it compacts and creates a stable, permeable surface. River rock is decorative and drains well but tends to migrate and can be harder to mow around. Pea gravel is attractive for patios or walkways but is not ideal on slopes or driveways because it shifts and can require frequent upkeep.
Avoid pea gravel on driveways, steep slopes, or areas with heavy foot or wheeled traffic because it moves and can create tripping hazards or rutting. It is also a poor choice where children play or for pet areas since it can be uncomfortable and easy to kick around. If you choose pea gravel, add edging and a compacted base to help contain it and reduce migration.
Locally sourced crushed limestone and recycled concrete are often the most affordable options in the Ferris area because they are commonly produced in Texas and require less transport. Native or bank-run gravels can also be economical if they are available nearby. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and request quotes to compare cost per ton or cubic yard for your specific delivery address.
Many Ferris homeowners can place gravel on private property without a city building permit, but rules vary by project scope and whether you change drainage patterns or alter stormwater runoff. If you live in an HOA, review your covenants before changing front-yard landscaping since HOAs commonly require approval for visible changes. When in doubt, contact Ferris City Hall or your HOA board to confirm local rules before ordering materials.
Yes, gravel can be an effective part of a drainage solution when used with proper grading, geotextile fabric, and typically a base course or French drain system. For erosion-prone swales or channels, larger rock or riprap is often better than small gravel. Consult a local contractor or engineer for significant drainage or erosion problems to ensure the right design and materials for Ferris' climate and soil conditions.
Delivery fees depend on distance, order size, and site access; Hello Gravel shows delivery charges at checkout so you can see costs before you confirm. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion and could be free or carry a modest fee; dedicated spreading, raking, and compaction are usually charged separately by local crews or contractors. For compaction, renting a plate compactor or hiring a contractor is common; request itemized quotes to compare total delivered-and-installed prices.
Many local suppliers and contractors will provide small samples or allow you to pick up a sample bag so you can check color and texture before ordering. Onsite estimates are commonly available but vary by supplier; Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and show prices and delivery options online. If you need an installation estimate, request photos or an on-site visit from a local contractor to get accurate labor and equipment pricing.

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.
