Why Hico Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hico (population 3,440) sits within a growing West Texas region (metro population 2.5+ million) where modest expansion (0.40% annual growth) and a semi-arid climate shape building and landscaping needs. With about 225 sunny days a year, 34.40 inches of rain annually, and USDA hardiness zone 8b, homeowners balance long, hot stretches with occasional heavy rains—conditions that make drainage, erosion control, and durable surfaces top priorities. Local renovation and infrastructure work keeps steady demand for aggregates, and homeowners frequently look for gravel to build lasting driveways, stabilize slopes, create low-maintenance yards, and improve water runoff management. Because materials reflect local geology, choosing the right size and type of gravel helps projects perform better in Hico’s unique climate and soils.Popular Projects in Hico This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hico gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hico.
Expect delivered gravel in the Hico area to vary by material and distance. A reasonable range is about $30 to $80 per ton delivered depending on type (pea, crushed limestone, decomposed granite), quarry distance, and seasonal demand; small orders may carry higher per-ton costs. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and our checkout shows upfront pricing for your zip code so you can get an exact cost for your address.
For driveways and ranch roads near Hico, crushed limestone or crushed stone (3/4" to 1") are common choices for a durable driving surface, while larger caliche or crushed rock works well for base layers on heavy-use lanes. Pea gravel and decomposed granite can be attractive for low-traffic areas but tend to move and create more dust in West Texas heat. Choose a coarse base with a smaller, angular surface stone for best stability in this region.
Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (area in ft2 * depth in inches) / 324, and tons = cubic yards * about 1.3 (typical crushed stone weight). For example, a 12' x 40' driveway (480 ft2) at 4" depth needs roughly (480*4)/324 = 5.9 cubic yards, or about 7.7 tons (round up to account for compaction and waste). Always order a little extra for settling and grading, especially on rural Hico sites.
Hico’s hot, dry summers increase dust and can loosen fine particles, while occasional heavy rains cause washouts and rutting if drainage is poor. Angular crushed stone with some fines compacts better and produces less dust than rounded rock, but you should expect periodic regrading and topping. Consider stabilizers, geotextiles, or a coarser wearing course to reduce dust and rutting in this climate.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; many local suppliers and haulers in the Hico area follow similar minimums for small deliveries. Deliveries are typically made by dump truck (often tri-axle) and fees depend on distance from the quarry, access constraints, and whether a truck can safely reach the drop point; narrow lanes, low trees, gates, or weight-restricted bridges can affect delivery options and may add charges. You’ll see any delivery fees and truck notes at checkout, and you can add delivery instructions to help the driver.
Most rural properties in Hamilton County do not require a building permit solely to install a private gravel driveway, but rules can vary by jurisdiction and any HOA. If your driveway connects to a county or town road you may need to follow county or town standards or install a culvert, so check with the Town of Hico and Hamilton County before starting work. If you belong to an HOA, review covenants for surface and appearance rules and get approvals where required.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost per square foot but requires regular maintenance: regrading, adding material, and occasional compaction every 1-3 years. Asphalt and concrete cost more to install in Hico but generally need less frequent major maintenance (asphalt may need sealing and overlays every 7-15 years; concrete can last decades with joints and repairs). For many rural Hico properties gravel is the most economical short-term choice, while asphalt or concrete may be better for high-traffic driveways where long-term durability and lower maintenance are priorities.
Prepare a stable subgrade by removing organic material, grading for drainage, and compacting the soil; in many West Texas soils add a geotextile fabric to limit mixing of soil and stone. Install a 4" to 6" compacted base of larger crushed rock or caliche, then finish with a 2" to 3" wearing course of crushed stone and plate or roller compact. Create a crown (center higher than edges) and ensure proper culverts or swales to manage seasonal runoff common in the area.
Late fall and winter often offer more favorable pricing and easier scheduling because demand is lower, while spring and early summer can see higher demand and price pressure from landscaping season. Heavy rains or quarry maintenance can temporarily limit availability, and fuel costs and local production affect price. For larger projects in Hico, book deliveries several weeks ahead and check pricing for your zip to lock in a delivery window.
Plan to regrade and fill low spots after major rains and to add 1/2" to 1" of fresh surface rock every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and erosion. Small annual maintenance (grading and a light topping) is often a few hundred dollars for a typical residential driveway; a larger surface resurface or added base will cost more and depends on size and material prices. Get a delivery/material quote from Hello Gravel for a better estimate based on your driveway dimensions and access.
Measure your area and use the cubic yard formula or Hello Gravel’s material calculator to estimate needs, and remember our 3-ton minimum for delivery. Choose your preferred delivery date at checkout, add clear drop location notes (gate codes, low branches, best approach), and request tailgate spreading if desired, knowing drivers perform spreading at their discretion. If you have questions about materials or access, contact our team for guidance and a site-specific recommendation.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
