Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base

Why Harker Heights Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Harker Heights (city population: 29,600) sits in a steadily growing West Texas metro area (metro area population: 2.7+ million) that is seeing steady residential and commercial development. With an annual growth rate of 0.85% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days and 35.82 inches of rainfall per year in USDA hardiness zone 8a, homeowners here face both strong sun and periodic heavy rains. That combination drives demand for durable, well-draining materials for driveways, pathways, and erosion control. Gravel is often chosen because it performs well under intense sunlight, handles runoff during storms, and fits both small DIY projects and larger contractor jobs. Local builders and homeowners seek consistent aggregates that resist washout, compact reliably, and match neighborhood aesthetics, so quality and reliable delivery are essential when planning projects in Harker Heights.Popular Projects in Harker Heights This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Harker Heights gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Harker Heights.
Homeowners in Harker Heights commonly buy gravel from three places: big-box stores for small quantities and bagged stone, local landscape suppliers and quarries for bulk loads, and online marketplaces like Hello Gravel that connect you to local haulers. Big-box stores are convenient but usually cost more per ton; local quarries and landscape yards are cheapest for large orders. Prices vary by rock type and distance from the quarry, so check quotes for delivery—Hello Gravel shows local pricing and delivery options for your zip code.
For Harker Heights clay soils and West Texas heat, angular crushed limestone or crushed rock (3/4" minus) are the best all-around choices because they lock together and compact well. Decomposed granite can work for low-traffic paths and patios if stabilized, but it may dust and soften without binder. Pea gravel and smooth river rock are attractive for landscaping but tend to move and sink on clay and are not recommended as a primary driveway surface.
A quick rule: use 0.00432 tons per square foot per inch of depth (based on ~1.4 tons per cubic yard). For example, a 1,000 sq ft driveway at 3" depth needs about 13 tons (0.01296 x 1000). Hello Gravel has a material calculator to refine estimates by material type; remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so small jobs may require a minimum delivery.
Yes—many Harker Heights neighborhoods and HOAs have rules about driveway materials, visible front-yard rock, color, and coverage. City regulations or permitting can also apply if work changes curb alignment or stormwater drainage. Before ordering bulk gravel, check your HOA covenants and call Harker Heights city planning or your property management to confirm any permits or restrictions.
Typical delivery through Hello Gravel uses dump trucks (often tri-axle) with a standard lead time of 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Many areas in Central Texas have free or low-cost delivery depending on distance and order size, but fees vary by supplier and haul distance. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout but note it is not guaranteed.
On Harker Heights clay, start with a geotextile fabric to separate soft soil from the gravel, then install a 4"–6" compacted base of larger crushed rock (class 2 or 3/4" minus). Shape the surface with a slight crown for drainage (about 1/4" per foot) and compact in layers using a vibratory plate or roller. Add a 2"–3" wearing course of crushed stone and install edge restraints to keep material from spreading during heavy rains.
A well-built gravel driveway in Central/West Texas can last 10–20 years with regular maintenance, but heavy clay soil and extreme weather will affect lifespan. Expect to regrade low spots and add a fresh 1"–2" topping every 3–7 years and do light repairs (filling ruts, redistributing gravel) annually after wet seasons. Regular drainage maintenance and weed control will reduce long-term costs and prolong performance.
Yes—prices and delivery availability change with season and local demand. Spring and early summer landscaping and construction season often push prices and lead times up, while heavy rains or storms can disrupt quarry operations and raise short-term costs. Ordering ahead for peak seasons or after major weather events helps lock pricing and secure delivery slots.
Most local suppliers and haulers will deliver to residential yards in Harker Heights, but trucks need clear access, sufficient turning room, and stable ground to offload. Mark the desired drop location, remove low branches or obstructions, and verify that your driveway can handle a loaded dump truck—some properties require off-street staging or a playground of offload. Request delivery notes at checkout and communicate any access concerns to avoid delays or additional fees.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers, shows material types and regional photos, and offers a material calculator to estimate tons for your project in Harker Heights. You can choose delivery dates, request tailgate spreading at checkout, and contact our sales team for guidance at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734. We handle coordination with the hauler and provide transparent pricing so you can compare materials and delivery in your area.

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.
