Why Franklin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Franklin is a small but growing West Texas city with a population of 5,020 and a regional metro that is expanding rapidly. With an annual growth rate of 1.90%, local construction and landscaping demand is rising—from new driveways and home additions to yard regrading and stormwater upgrades. Franklin’s climate, with 218 sunny days each year, 43.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8a, creates a need for materials that handle both strong sun and heavy seasonal rains. Homeowners here look for reliable aggregates that provide stable driveways, dependable drainage, and low-maintenance landscaping because local soil types and weather swings place extra stress on surfaces and plant beds.Popular Projects in Franklin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Franklin gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Franklin.
In West Texas, gravel delivered to a rural town like Franklin typically runs in the range of about $20 to $45 per ton delivered, depending on material type and distance from the quarry. Many areas have free or low-cost delivery when you order minimum quantities; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery of 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact pricing varies by supplier and material, so get a quote for your zip code to see current local rates.
For driveways in West Texas, angular crushed stone (crushed limestone or crushed granite) performs best because the pieces lock together and resist displacement in heat and intermittent heavy rains. Decomposed granite can work well for low-traffic driveways and pathways because it compacts and binds, while pea gravel is decorative but moves under vehicle traffic so it is less ideal for main drive lanes. For erosion control, larger angular rock or graded riprap and larger crushed stone is best for slopes and drainage channels; small decorative gravels do not provide reliable erosion protection.
Franklin's soils tend to be arid, often with caliche or clay layers that can hold water and cause rutting where drainage is poor, so proper base prep is critical. A typical recommendation is to remove unstable topsoil, install 4-6 inches of compacted coarse base (class 2 road base or similar), and then add 2-3 inches of surface gravel; geotextile fabric can help separate fines from base in problem spots. Good grading and a crowned center for runoff will extend life by preventing standing water and washouts during heavy rain.
Hello Gravel's platform has a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery generally requires 2+ business days; next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Same-day delivery is uncommon and depends on local supplier and truck availability, so contact our team if you need faster service and we will check local options.
Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to estimate tons (varies by material). Example: a 20 ft x 40 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is (800 x 4)/324 = 9.9 cubic yards, which is roughly 13.9 tons. For patios and landscape beds, plug your area and depth into the formula and round up slightly to account for compaction and waste.
In hot, dry Franklin conditions, routine maintenance every 6-12 months keeps a gravel driveway in good shape: remove weeds, regrade any ruts, and add fresh gravel to low spots. Expect to replenish about 0.5 to 1.5 inches of surface gravel per year for moderate-use residential driveways; higher-traffic rural driveways may need 2 inches or more yearly. More frequent maintenance after heavy storms will help prevent washouts and preserve the driving surface.
City and county rules plus any HOA covenants can restrict driveway materials, curbside parking, or visible decorative rock, so check Franklin city ordinances, county permitting, and your HOA documents before installing gravel. Some areas require permits for driveways or restrict certain materials for aesthetic or drainage reasons. If you are unsure, contact the Franklin city office or your HOA and get confirmation before ordering material.
Gravel has the lowest upfront installed cost of the three, often a fraction of concrete or asphalt for the same area, but it has higher ongoing maintenance costs (periodic grading and topping up). Concrete and asphalt cost more up front and typically require less frequent surface replenishment, but they may need costly repairs or replacement years down the road; lifecycle cost depends on traffic, climate, and maintenance. For many rural West Texas driveways, gravel is the most cost-effective choice if you accept regular maintenance and occasional regrading.
At checkout, add clear notes about where you want the truck to dump, any gate codes, and access limitations; drivers assess tailgate spreading at their discretion and it is not guaranteed. Ensure a 14-16 foot overhead and adequate turnaround space for a tri-axle dump truck, and clear any obstacles or parked vehicles on delivery day. If you need help estimating quantities or want the material placed in multiple piles, contact Hello Gravel's team ahead of delivery to discuss options and any additional fees.
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.
