Why Helotes Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Helotes, with a city population of 29,480 and located within a broader region that has a metro area population of 2.5+ million, is seeing steady, modest growth of 0.70% annually. That kind of incremental expansion typically drives consistent demand for home improvement and small-scale construction projects—think driveway upgrades, patio installs, erosion repairs, and landscape refreshes—rather than short-term building booms. With a climate in hardiness zone 8b, about 228 sunny days each year, and annual rainfall near 34.80 inches, homeowners need materials that balance sun resistance with reliable drainage. In practice this means selecting aggregates, soils, mulches, and sands that hold up to UV exposure, control erosion during seasonal rains, and provide stable surfaces for vehicles and foot traffic. Local sourcing matters here: regionally supplied materials reflect the geology and perform predictably in Helotess climate, so choosing the right gradation and quality can reduce rework and maintenance over time.Popular Projects in Helotes This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Helotes Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Helotes.
Start by matching material characteristics to your project goals: drainage, load-bearing, aesthetics, or planting. In Helotes, consider materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone based on compaction needs, water runoff, and the look you want. Use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance if you are unsure.
Helotes has a semi-arid West Texas climate and local soils that can be clayey or caliche, which affects drainage and compaction. Choose materials that improve drainage and resist rutting in heavy rain, and expect regional color and texture differences due to local sourcing. If you have persistent drainage issues, pairing porous materials with grading or drainage features usually helps.
Common projects include driveways, walkways, drainage pads, garden beds, topsoil replenishment, and base layers for patios or sheds. Gravel, sand, dirt, and stone are all used across these applications depending on load requirements and appearance preferences. For heavier traffic areas pick denser, compacting materials; for planting or leveling choose screened topsoil mixes.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area and convert cubic feet to tons using our online calculator or the material calculator at checkout. We recommend ordering a small overage (typically 5–10%) to account for compaction and grading. If you need help, our team can check your measurements and provide a quick estimate.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You choose a preferred delivery date during checkout and we confirm timing with the local hauler. Exact arrival windows can vary, so plan for some flexibility on the day of delivery.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, and delivery fees vary by distance, load size, and supplier availability in the West Texas region. Some orders qualify for free delivery depending on local promotions and supplier coverage, while others incur a fuel or distance surcharge. The exact fee is shown at checkout after entering your zip code.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if it can be done safely on your site, but this service is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess conditions on arrival. For precise spreading work, consider hiring a landscaper or equipment rental for final grading.
Next-day delivery is commonly available for orders placed before noon CST and subject to supplier and hauler availability in the Helotes area. Same-day delivery is less common and depends on local truck schedules and material stock. If you need fast delivery, contact our team early to check availability and potential rush fees.
Permit requirements and HOA rules vary by property, so check with the City of Helotes and your homeowners association before ordering large deliveries or changing driveway/grade. Simple deliveries of materials to your yard rarely need a permit, but structural changes, new driveways, or significant grading may. If you are unsure, contact local planning offices or your HOA for guidance before scheduling delivery.
Steep slopes, poor drainage, and erosion risk in Helotes influence whether you choose permeable aggregates or soils with added drainage features. For sloped areas, pick materials that resist erosion and combine them with terraces, retaining elements, or geotextile fabrics. If standing water is a concern, prioritize materials and grading that promote runoff and stable base layers.
Spring and fall are popular in Helotes for landscaping because temperatures are milder and soils are easier to work, but deliveries are available year-round. Avoid scheduling heavy grading or base work during periods of heavy rain to reduce compaction and access issues. If you have a seasonal deadline, consider next-day delivery options and book early to secure truck availability.

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.
