Why Harper Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Harper is a small but growing West Texas city with a city population of 2,930 and a steady growth rate of 0.80% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates a demand for durable, low-maintenance landscaping and site-work solutions. As homeowners invest in driveways, drainage upgrades, and xeriscaped yards, reliable aggregates become essential: well-graded gravel improves driveway longevity, reduces erosion on sloped lots, and provides a permeable base for pavers and patios. In Harper’s mix of sun and seasonal rain, homeowners and small contractors look for materials that balance stability, drainage, and a natural look that complements local soils and vegetation. Gravel is especially well-suited to Harper’s environment because it sheds water, resists rutting under occasional storms, and tolerates extended sun exposure without breaking down. Common choices—crushed stone for driveways, pea gravel for paths, and angular base gravel for paver installations—perform well here when matched to project needs and proper base preparation. Hello Gravel connects Harper homeowners with local suppliers and hauling networks to deliver the right type and quantity of gravel on a schedule that works for you. Our online platform offers clear pricing, 2+ business days standard delivery with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST, and the option to request tailgate spreading at the driver’s discretion, helping you get the material and timing your project requires.Popular Projects in Harper This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Harper gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Harper.
Many Hello Gravel deliveries to Harper are free, but fees can apply depending on supplier distance, truck type, and road access. Delivery charges are calculated from the supplier/quarry to your address, the amount ordered, and whether a smaller truck or a long-haul is required; remote rural deliveries can be higher. You’ll see the exact delivery fee at checkout after entering your zip code and chosen delivery date.
For Harper’s hot, dry climate and local caliche soils, crushed limestone or local caliche are usually the best choices for driveways because they compact well and resist migration. Pea gravel and river rock are attractive but tend to move under traffic and can be harder to maintain in wind and drought. For higher-traffic areas consider polymer-treated gravel or a stabilizer grid to lock material in place.
Calculate cubic yards first: (length x width x depth in feet) / 27, then convert to tons using about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for typical gravel. For a 24 x 30 ft area (720 ft2): a 3" surface layer is about 6.7 cu yd ≈ 9–10 tons; a 4" base is about 8.9 cu yd ≈ 12–13 tons, so together expect roughly 22–25 tons. Always order 10–15% extra for compaction, grading, and waste, and note Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and quarries that service Harper and surrounding Gillespie County, so you can buy bulk caliche, crushed limestone, and other gravels online. Most local suppliers offer delivery by dump truck; spreading is sometimes available but is at the driver’s discretion and should be requested at checkout. Enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see available material options, delivery windows, and any optional services.
Gravel is typically cheaper upfront than asphalt and easier to repair, making it a common choice for rural Harper properties; expect lower initial cost but more ongoing maintenance like regrading and topping up. Asphalt has higher upfront cost and requires professional installation, but it usually lasts longer and needs less frequent surface replenishment. Resale impact depends on neighborhood expectations—well-maintained asphalt can add curb appeal, while a tidy gravel driveway is fine in rural areas; check local HOA preferences if applicable.
Yes—on Harper’s clay or caliche subsoil a geotextile fabric is recommended to separate the native soil from your gravel and to reduce mixing and washout. Install 4–6 inches of compacted base material (local caliche or crushed stone) before a 2–3 inch wearing layer of gravel for driveways. Also consider edge restraints and a compactor plate; suppliers often sell fabric, base material, and edging alongside gravel.
In Harper you can expect to regrade or add 1–2 inches of top gravel every 1–3 years, depending on vehicle traffic and storm events; heavy-truck use may require topping more frequently. Common maintenance products are a gravel rake or landscape rake, a plate compactor for settling, and stabilizer grids or polymer binders if you want reduced migration and longer intervals between replenishing. Schedule annual regrading and inspect low spots after seasonal rains or heavy use.
Harper is in Gillespie County, and rules can vary—many rural properties do not require a permit for a private driveway, but county or state permits may be needed if you connect to a county road or change drainage. Check with the City of Harper (or Gillespie County office) and any HOA for restrictions on material, color, or driveway width before ordering. When in doubt, call your city hall or the county roads office to confirm requirements.
Prices vary by material and supplier: rough West Texas ranges are often caliche $10–$30/ton, crushed limestone $20–$45/ton, pea gravel $30–$60/ton, and larger river rock $50–$100/ton, though local rates fluctuate. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order; some local quarries have higher minimums depending on truck size and distance. Check the Hello Gravel quote for exact per-ton pricing and any delivery minimums for your zip code.
Yes—many suppliers serving Harper offer stabilizer grids, polymer-treated gravels, or gravel adhesives that help lock aggregate in place and reduce migration under heavy use. These products add cost but can greatly cut maintenance needs for driveways used by trucks or frequent traffic, and they improve load-bearing and drainage. Ask suppliers for examples and cost estimates, and consider them when you need long-term durability rather than frequent topping.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
