Why Giddings Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Giddings is a West Texas community of 8,780 residents that is growing steadily at a rate of 0.38% annually. With 228 sunny days each year and a hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners balance long stretches of sun with seasonal precipitation when planning outdoor projects. That climate, combined with the region's mixed rural and small-town geography, keeps demand strong for reliable aggregates—driveways, drainage trenches, patio bases, and erosion-control work all benefit from the right gravel. Homeowners look for materials that compact well, shed water, and resist washout; selecting the correct size and type helps extend the life of a surface and reduces future maintenance for both DIYers and contractors.Popular Projects in Giddings This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Giddings gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Giddings.
Local gravel pricing in Giddings is driven mainly by haul distance from the local quarry, truck type and fuel costs, and any delivery or unloading fees. Site conditions (steep driveways, tight access) can add labor or equipment charges, and regional demand or seasonal availability can raise prices. Taxes and local permit fees may apply, and Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order which affects small jobs.
Contractors around Giddings commonly use 3/4" crushed stone or crusher run (crush-and-run) and local limestone/caliche mixes because they compact well and resist rutting. Recycled concrete or larger 3/4" to 1" angular stone is used where extra drainage or load-bearing is needed. Choice often reflects what local suppliers have available due to West Texas geology.
Giddings heat increases dust and can loosen fines, while heavy rains can cause washouts and rutting, so choose an angular, well-graded crushed stone with some fines for compaction and stability. Ensure good crown and drainage to shed water quickly, and consider geotextile fabric under the base in wet or soft spots. Proper depth and periodic topping help materials last through seasonal cycles.
A common single-car driveway (about 12 ft by 40 ft) needs roughly 4.4 cubic yards at 3" depth, which is about 6 tons of gravel using a typical conversion. Increasing depth to 6" doubles the tonnage to around 12 tons. For longer rural access roads, plan by area: a 12-ft-wide, 1,000-ft section at 3" depth is roughly 155 tons.
Suppliers that serve Giddings typically source materials regionally and dispatch via dump trucks from nearby quarries. Standard delivery timing through Hello Gravel is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and a 3-ton minimum order. Drivers use tri-axle trucks and may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, depending on site conditions.
Contractors usually start with a compacted subbase of 4" to 6" of angular crushed stone and then add a 2" to 3" wearing course of 3/4" crushed stone. They grade for a center crown and install edge restraints or compacted shoulders to reduce migration. Using geotextile fabric over soft soils reduces mixing and frequency of regrading.
For erosion control in Giddings, use larger angular rock such as 2" to 6" riprap or 1" to 3" crushed stone in ditches and swales to slow flow and prevent scour. Combine rock with geotextile fabric and check dams or vegetation to stabilize slopes. For gentler slopes, a mix with coarse angular stone and screenings can anchor seed and reduce surface erosion.
Gravel has lower upfront cost but higher regular maintenance: periodic grading, adding new material, and dust control every 3 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather. Asphalt and concrete cost more to install but typically need less frequent surface maintenance; they may last 10 to 20 years with occasional sealing or patching. Choose gravel if you prefer lower initial expense and simpler repairs, or hard surfacing if you want lower routine upkeep and longer service life.
City or county requirements vary, so check with Giddings City Hall and Lee County for rules about driveway connections, curb cuts, and stormwater runoff. Many HOAs have rules about driveway appearance or approved materials, so get written approval if you belong to an association. If in doubt, request guidance from local building or planning departments before ordering material.
Contractors generally quote materials by the ton and add separate charges for hauling, grading, compaction, and site prep; material often represents a large portion of the total but the split varies with how much site prep is needed. Jobs with heavy grading, poor soil, or drainage work raise labor and equipment costs, while simple top-dressing projects are mostly material. Ask contractors for itemized estimates showing tons, delivery, and hourly or flat labor rates.

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.
