Why Hico Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hico's population of 3,440 and a steady annual growth rate of 0.70% point to a community experiencing measured, long-term demand for home improvements and small-scale construction. Slow, predictable growth typically means homeowners and local contractors prioritize durable, low-maintenance upgrades rather than rapid, large-scale building booms. With 228 sunny days per year and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, material choices must balance heat and UV exposure with occasional heavy rain — so projects often call for products that resist sun bleaching, promote drainage, and reduce erosion. For Hico homeowners, quality bulk materials such as properly graded fill, drainage rock, sand, and native topsoil support patios, driveways, raised beds, and water-wise landscaping while meeting the town's steady need for practical, long-lasting results.Popular Projects in Hico This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hico Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hico.
Hico's West Texas climate is generally hot and relatively dry with occasional heavy rains, and local soils often contain clay or caliche. Choose materials that handle infrequent intense downpours without washing out and that work with local soils for proper drainage and compaction. Regional sourcing means gravel, sand, dirt, stone can vary in particle size and color, so pick products that match the performance you need (drainage, stability, or aesthetics). If in doubt, consult our team for recommendations based on local conditions.
Rural properties in and around Hico may have long driveways, narrow roads, low bridges or power lines, gates, and soft shoulders that affect truck access. Provide clear delivery notes and photos at checkout, mark a safe drop zone, and share gate codes or staging instructions so drivers can plan the best approach. Also check for county road weight limits, culverts, or private bridges that could restrict truck access and discuss alternatives with our team if needed.
Delivered price depends on material type, order size, distance from the supplier, local availability, and seasonal demand. Smaller orders and longer hauls typically increase per-ton or per-cubic-yard costs, while larger orders often lower unit price. For a precise estimate for your project in Hico, get a quote through our site or call our sales team so we can factor local sourcing and delivery logistics.
Spring through early fall is often best for grading and installation because ground is usually dry and crews are available, but deliveries are possible year-round. Avoid scheduling heavy installations right before or during expected storms because wet ground makes compaction and spreading harder and may lead to washouts. If you need faster timing, next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
Permit requirements vary by project and property; many small residential driveway or landscape projects do not require city permits, but work involving new driveways, culverts, or connections to county roads may need approval. If you are in an HOA or have a restrictive covenants agreement, you may need prior approval for material type, color, or changes to driveway location. Check with Hamilton County, the City of Hico, and any HOA before ordering, and reach out to our team if you need help identifying who to contact.
Common services hired with bulk material delivery include grading and excavation, compaction, hauling of existing material, drainage work, and general landscaping or paving contractors. Local contractors familiar with West Texas soils can recommend appropriate base depths and compaction methods for driveways and pads. We can coordinate delivery timing to line up with your contractor's schedule to keep your project on track.
In Hico's drier climate, materials tend to settle and produce dust, and infrequent heavy rains can cause localized washouts or rilling on unprotected surfaces. Expect periodic regrading or topping up, occasional weed control, and attention to drainage features to prevent erosion after storms. Choosing angular or well-graded materials and proper compaction up front reduces maintenance over time.
Common project quantities vary: small garden beds or mulched areas often need 1-3 cubic yards; walkways and small patios typically use 2-6 cubic yards; a single-car driveway surface layer might range from 5-15 cubic yards, while larger or deeper driveways can require 20-40 cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard of bulk aggregate roughly equals 1.3–1.6 tons depending on the material, so use our material calculator or request a quote for a precise estimate.
We source materials regionally, so texture, color, and composition reflect local geology; that helps with availability but means appearance can vary from photos. Use our aggregate quiz and material calculator to narrow choices by performance (drainage, compaction, appearance), and contact our sales team for recommendations tailored to Hico conditions. You can also note color or size preferences at checkout and request samples from your local supplier when available.
Clear the drop area of vehicles and obstacles, mark utilities and the preferred drop zone, share gate codes or access directions, and make sure the driver can safely maneuver and dump. Confirm your delivery date during checkout, and notify our team as soon as possible if you need to change the order; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but that service is not guaranteed. If access is limited, ask about alternative delivery points or smaller truck options when you order.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
