Gravel: Sun-Ready Drainage For Gatesville • Choose Your Gravel Delivery Date
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Gatesville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gatesville is a growing West Texas community of 15,131 residents with steady development driven by a 0.95% annual growth rate. The city’s semi-arid climate—228 sunny days per year with 34.25 inches of annual rainfall and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b—shapes how homeowners build and landscape. That combination of sun, occasional heavy rains, and local soils creates strong demand for durable, well-draining aggregates. Homeowners replacing driveways, building low-maintenance landscapes, or improving drainage around foundations often look for gravel that balances permeability, stability, and a natural look that fits Gatesville’s regional aesthetic. Gravel performs well in Gatesville’s conditions: it resists sun-driven degradation, sheds water during downpours, and stabilizes surfaces in soils common to West Texas. Homeowners typically choose angular crushed gravel or mixed stone sizes to improve compaction and runoff control while keeping maintenance low. Hello Gravel connects Gatesville residents with local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, offering upfront pricing, scheduled delivery dates, and regional material options so you get gravel suited to local geology without the hassle of coordinating multiple vendors.Popular Projects in Gatesville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gatesville gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Gatesville.
Prices vary by type and supplier, but in Gatesville expect roughly $30 to $80 per ton delivered for common gravels. Heavier, decorative, or specialty blends cost more, and small orders can raise the per-ton price. Use Hello Gravel to get an exact local quote.
Buying bulk delivery through Hello Gravel is usually the most cost-effective option compared with bags from big-box stores. Consider recycled materials (crushed concrete) or road-base for lower cost, and pick a local supplier to reduce delivery fees. Always compare per-ton delivered pricing rather than just material price.
A tri-axle dump truck in our network typically carries about 10 to 12 tons. Delivered cost for a full truck can range from about $300 to $900 in Gatesville depending on material type, distance, and supplier; request a quote for an exact price. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and will show delivered pricing up front.
For a 100 ft driveway at 12 ft wide and 2 inches deep, you need about 10 to 11 tons of gravel. If you want a deeper base (3-4 inches) or better compaction for West Texas soils, plan on 15 to 22 tons. Use the Hello Gravel calculator or give us your exact dimensions for a precise estimate.
Two inches is usually only adequate as a top dressing over a well-prepared base; it is not enough as the only layer for a driveway. In Gatesville's West Texas climate and local soils, a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed rock with a 2-3 inch wearing layer is commonly recommended. Factors like traffic, drainage, and existing soil affect the final depth.
Assuming a 20 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway with a 2 inch layer, you need about 2 to 3 tons of material, but Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum so expect to pay for at least that. Material plus delivery for a small driveway in Gatesville commonly runs $150 to $500 depending on gravel type and supplier. Additional costs apply for spreading, grading, or extra depth.
Lower-cost alternatives include crushed concrete (reclaimed aggregate), road base, and compacted limestone screenings, which often cost less than new decorative gravel. Decomposed granite can be cheaper for walkways but has different drainage and compaction properties. Check local availability and suitability for drainage and load before choosing an alternative.
Gravel delivered to Gatesville is typically sourced from quarries and pits in the West Texas and central Texas regions, often near hubs like Killeen or Waco to keep haul distances short. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary with local geology, which is normal. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and shows delivery quotes based on those nearby sources.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout but there are no guarantees. The driver will assess safety and site access on arrival before agreeing to spread. If spreading is critical, consider hiring local labor or arranging a spreading service ahead of time.
Measure length, width, and desired depth in feet, multiply them to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to 1.5 to estimate tons (1.4 tons/yd3 is a common local rule of thumb). Or use Hello Gravel's online calculator and input your dimensions for an instant local estimate.
A common choice for Gatesville driveways is 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone for a wearing surface and a larger crushed rock base (1" to 2") for the subbase. Washed gravel is good for drainage, while angular crushed stone compacts better for driveways. Consider local supplier recommendations based on your soil and traffic needs.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and typically provides standard delivery in 2 or more business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and regional hauling means delivery windows depend on supplier fleets. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout and see confirmed pricing upfront.
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.
