Why Grand Prairie Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Grand Prairie, with a city population of 177,724 and part of a metro area population of 7.6+ million, is a fast-evolving North Texas community with an annual growth rate of 1.30% annually. Its favorable climate—234 sunny days per year and 37.00 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8a—supports active residential development and year‑round outdoor projects. That steady growth and favorable weather create steady demand for dependable aggregates: homeowners are frequently upgrading driveways, improving drainage, installing patios, and preparing bases for new construction. For these projects, consistent gravel performance matters—materials must drain, compact predictably, and stand up to periodic heavy rain and Texas sun. Clear pricing, scheduled delivery, and locally sourced blends help homeowners avoid delays and unexpected material issues during their remodels and yard upgrades. Gravel is well suited to Grand Prairie’s mix of sun, seasonal rain, and clay‑influenced soils. Coarser crushed mixes and 3/4" stone improve drainage and reduce rutting after storms, while pea gravel or compactable fines work for patio surfaces and walking paths. Because regional sourcing affects color and texture, expect natural variation that matches local geology. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers, simplifies online ordering, and coordinates delivery windows so the right gravel arrives when your project is ready. We require 2 business days for delivery and offer next‑day options when available, plus guidance on quantities and material selection to keep your project on track.Popular Projects in Grand Prairie This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Grand Prairie gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Grand Prairie.
One ton of typical crushed gravel used around Grand Prairie (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard) covers roughly 115 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. For quick reference: about 231 sq ft at 1 inch, 115 sq ft at 2 inches, 77 sq ft at 3 inches, and 58 sq ft at 4 inches. Actual coverage varies with gravel size and compaction, so use our material calculator or request a supplier estimate for your specific stone.
Buying in bulk and ordering a delivered truckload is usually the most cost-effective option in Grand Prairie, since per-ton prices drop as quantity rises and delivery is often included. Recycled options like crushed concrete or reclaimed asphalt can be cheaper alternatives, but check suitability for your project. Get a free quote from Hello Gravel to compare local prices and delivery options.
Most gravel supplied to Grand Prairie comes from quarries in North Texas and nearby counties, so color and texture typically reflect local limestone and chert. Some specialty stones or river rock may be hauled from farther away, which can affect price. If you have a color or material preference, add it to your order notes or ask our team for local versus nonlocal options.
'Type 4' is not a universal label and can mean different things depending on supplier or spec sheet; Texas DOT and local vendors may use their own classifications. If a supplier or project spec calls for 'Type 4', ask for the particle size, percent fines, and intended use so you get the right material. Hello Gravel can provide the local supplier specification sheet for any material on your quote.
No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway that will carry cars or trucks in Grand Prairie's clay soils and hot, storm-prone climate. We typically recommend 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel over a stable base for residential driveways, with thicker base where heavy trucks will park or drive. Proper compaction and drainage are key given the area's occasional heavy rain and shifting soils.
A 7x14 dump trailer with roughly 2-foot sidewalls holds about 7 cubic yards of loose material, which is approximately 9.8 to 10.5 tons for common gravel densities. Actual payload depends on wall height and the gravel type; heavier materials will reduce the safe tonnage due to trailer payload limits. If you're hauling on your own, check your trailer's rated payload before loading.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used for deliveries to Grand Prairie carries about 10 to 12 tons of loose gravel (roughly 7 to 9 cubic yards). To estimate material cost, multiply tons needed by the local price per ton and add delivery fees; Hello Gravel provides transparent per-ton pricing and will calculate exact tons for your area. For exact pricing, request a free quote with your delivery address and desired material.
Crushed concrete (reclaimed aggregate), recycled asphalt, and decomposed granite are common lower-cost alternatives in North Texas. Crushed concrete is durable for driveways and base layers but can include fines and vary in appearance; decomposed granite offers a natural look for paths but is softer. Check local availability and whether the alternative meets structural and drainage needs for your project.
Cost depends on driveway length, width, depth, material chosen, and whether you need site prep. As an example, a 20 ft wide by 40 ft long driveway at 4 inches deep requires about 12.3 cubic yards (about 17 tons) of gravel; multiply the tons by your local per-ton price and add delivery and any grading or compaction charges. For an accurate estimate for your Grand Prairie address, request a quote from Hello Gravel with driveway dimensions and desired stone type.
Many full-size pickup beds will physically hold about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards of loose gravel, but the key limit is payload capacity: one cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 1.4 tons (about 2,800 to 3,000 pounds). Check your truck's payload rating before loading and avoid overloading axles; if in doubt, order a small delivered load from Hello Gravel to be safe.
Blended materials with fines such as crusher run, road base, or compactable limestone products will compact into a firm, relatively hard surface but will not become true concrete. Polymer-stabilized gravels exist that bind and reduce dust and migration, offering firmer results for walkways or patios. Speak with your Hello Gravel supplier about trade-offs between permeability, firmness, and maintenance for Grand Prairie's climate.
Gravel can help reduce pests by eliminating dense vegetation and limiting standing water where mosquitoes breed, but it will not eliminate bugs completely in Texas's warm climate. Some pests like ants and ticks can still inhabit gravel edges or nearby turf, so combine gravel with good drainage, sealing of entry points, and pest control measures for best results. For landscaped areas, consider installing a weed barrier and edging to reduce debris buildup that attracts insects.

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.
