Gravel: Built For West Texas Drainage • Same-Day Gravel Delivery In Gorman
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 Gorman Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gorman is a small West Texas town with a city population: 1,410, located within a growing regional market (metro area population: 2.5+ million) and a steady growth rate: 1.00% annually. The local climate—hardiness zone: 8b, with sunny days: 228/year and annual rainfall: 38.15 inches—creates both opportunities and challenges for home projects. New construction, driveway repairs, and landscape upgrades are common as homeowners respond to steady regional growth, and these projects rely on reliable aggregates. Homeowners look for gravel that balances drainage, durability, and low maintenance so driveways stay stable, pathways resist washout, and planting beds control erosion without frequent upkeep. Gravel works well in Gorman’s conditions because its open texture sheds excess water while resisting surface rutting under sun and periodic rain. For driveways and drainage trenches, angular crushed gravel provides compaction and water movement; for walkways and patios, rounded pea gravel offers comfort underfoot. Hello Gravel connects Gorman homeowners to local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, simplifying ordering, scheduling, and on-site delivery with standard 2+ business day timing and next-day options when available, so you get the right gravel for local needs without the hassle.Popular Projects in Gorman This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gorman gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Gorman.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Price depends on material type, distance from local suppliers, and any needed services (next-day delivery or tailgate spreading), so costs vary; use our zip-code quote tool or contact our team for an exact price estimate. In many areas delivery fees are included, but remote or long-haul deliveries may carry an extra charge.
For clay soils and hot, dry West Texas conditions, crushed limestone and quarry process (crusher-run) are good choices because they compact and lock together, reducing washout and shifting. Pea gravel looks nice but tends to move on clay unless a firm compacted base and edging are installed. Consider adding fines or a stabilizing base for driveways on expansive clay to improve long-term performance.
Calculate tons by converting area and depth to cubic yards, then to tons (area in sq ft x depth in ft ÷ 27 = cubic yards; multiply by about 1.4 to get tons). For example, a 12 ft x 50 ft driveway (600 sq ft) at 4 inches deep requires about 10 to 11 tons; a small 10 ft x 12 ft patio at 2 inches deep only needs about 1 ton, but you must meet the 3-ton minimum. Use our online material calculator or contact our team for a quick estimate tailored to your project.
Permit and HOA rules vary locally, so check with Gorman city hall or your county planning office and any HOA for rules on driveway approaches, setbacks, and surface materials. If your drive connects to a county or state road, confirm county or TxDOT requirements for curb cuts or drainage. Our team can help flag common local issues, but customers should verify permits and HOA approvals before ordering.
In rural West Texas, full professional installation including grading, base, compaction, and top gravel commonly runs about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot, depending on access, prep work, and drainage needs. For a typical 12 ft x 50 ft driveway (600 sq ft) that works out to roughly $900 to $2,400, with higher costs if heavy equipment, long hauling, or erosion control are required. Get local contractor bids for precise labor pricing and compare them to material-only costs from Hello Gravel.
Gravel itself tolerates heat well, but West Texas freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains can cause rutting and washouts, especially on clay soils with poor drainage. Good base preparation, proper pitch and drainage, and periodic raking or regrading after storms will reduce problems; expect to top up high-use areas every 1-3 years. For wash-prone slopes or driveways, consider edging and a coarser, compacting mix to improve stability.
Gravel has lower upfront material costs and is easier to install over long rural drives, but it requires more maintenance (regrading, topping up) and can create dust and tracking. Asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs and longer installation time but usually need less frequent surface maintenance. Choose gravel if you want lower upfront cost and flexibility, and choose paved surfaces if you prefer a low-maintenance, sealed driveway and are willing to pay more.
Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks and require a firm, level staging area and enough vertical and horizontal clearance to avoid power lines or tight turns. Because Gorman has clay soils and rural driveways, tell us about access conditions and preferred drop location in order notes so drivers can plan; drivers may decline delivery to unsafe spots. Materials are regionally sourced, delivery times are usually 2+ business days with next-day available before noon CST for an extra fee, and tailgate spreading is offered at the driver's discretion.
Natural aggregates vary by region, so color, texture, and sizing can differ from photos due to local geology and batch variation. You can add color or texture preferences in your Order Notes, and if the material you receive is materially different from what was promised, contact customer service promptly so we can review your order and work toward a satisfactory resolution. Refer to our refund policy for details on issue handling.
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.
