Why Gilmer Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gilmer's city population is 20,110, and the town sits within a growing West Texas region whose metro area population is 2.5+ million. With a steady annual growth rate of 1.20%, local demand for home improvements, new driveways, and small-scale construction is rising. Gilmer's climate — 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.50 inches, in hardiness zone 8b — favors low-maintenance, well-draining landscaping. Homeowners here look for quality aggregates that stand up to high sun exposure, handle intermittent heavy rains, and reduce erosion on sloped lots. Durable gravel provides a practical, cost-effective surface for driveways, walkways, patios, and drainage swales where long-term performance matters more than frequent upkeep.Popular Projects in Gilmer This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gilmer gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Gilmer.
Costs vary by material, delivery distance, and site prep. For a standard 2-car driveway in Gilmer (about 20' x 20'), expect material and delivery for gravel to be roughly $200-$800 depending on type and tonnage, with installation and grading adding $300-$1,500 if you hire labor or rental equipment. These are rough ranges; get a quote through Hello Gravel for exact local pricing and available delivery options.
Crushed limestone and crushed granite perform well for driveways and paths because they lock together and resist movement during rain. Pea gravel and river rock look attractive but can shift more and require edging in areas with occasional heavy showers. Because materials are regionally sourced, expect local color and texture differences; choose crushed stone for stability and pea gravel for decorative uses.
Here are approximate needs using 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons: For a 20' x 20' driveway: 2" depth ≈ 3.5 tons, 3" ≈ 5.2 tons, 4" ≈ 6.9 tons. For a 24' x 24' driveway: 2" ≈ 5.0 tons, 3" ≈ 7.5 tons, 4" ≈ 10.0 tons. These are estimates; final tonnage depends on gravel density, compaction, and whether you add a thicker base layer.
Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA; Gilmer city code may set standards for driveway entrances and stormwater, but it usually does not list specific gravel sizes. Always check your HOA covenants and call Gilmer City Hall or your HOA board before ordering to confirm allowed colors, material types, and any required edging or paved apron. If in doubt, ask Hello Gravel in Order Notes and we can flag potential restrictions for you.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers that deliver by dump truck (typically tri-axle). Minimum orders commonly start at about 3 tons, and many suppliers offer free delivery in nearby areas but may charge for longer hauls or small orders. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be done at the driver's discretion; request it at checkout but know it is not guaranteed and fees may apply for spreading services.
Local soils can include clay and poorly draining pockets that cause washouts or settling under gravel. Installing a compacted base (4" or more of crushed rock), good edge restraints, and geotextile fabric is recommended where drainage or soft soil is a concern to keep the gravel stable. For driveways with heavy vehicles or low spots, add a thicker base and consider sub-surface drainage or perforated pipe to move water away from the area.
With proper base and routine care, a gravel driveway in the Gilmer area can function well for 5-20 years as a usable surface; longevity depends on traffic, base construction, and maintenance. Expect to regrade, add new gravel, and address ruts after heavy rains; light top-ups are commonly needed every 2-5 years. Regular basic maintenance includes raking, filling potholes, maintaining edges, and clearing runoff channels after storms.
Gravel has the lowest upfront material cost and fastest installation, but higher ongoing maintenance (periodic regrading and topping). Asphalt is mid-range in initial cost and lower maintenance than gravel, while concrete and pavers have higher initial costs and generally longer service lives with less frequent upkeep. Consider total life-cycle costs: gravel is economical for lower budgets and rural properties, while asphalt or concrete may be more cost-effective long term for high-traffic driveways.
Deliveries are available year-round, but weather can affect timing: heavy rain or saturated ground may delay delivery or make spreading unsafe. Next-day delivery is often possible if you order before noon CST, but plan ahead during spring storms or unusually wet periods. If you need material for a time-sensitive project, schedule delivery and ask about backup dates in the checkout calendar.
For small DIY jobs, a plate compactor or hand tamper can work for a thin topcoat; for full-depth driveways, a walk-behind vibratory roller or small drum roller is recommended to properly compact base layers. Many contractors provide grading, base installation, compaction, and edge restraint work; Hello Gravel can help connect you with local pros if you want turn-key installation. Renting equipment or hiring pros to install a proper compacted base reduces future maintenance and improves longevity.
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.
