Why Highlands Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Highlands is a growing West Texas community of 10,100 residents located inside a larger metro area of 2.5+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate defined by 228 sunny days and moderate annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, local homeowners are seeing steady demand for construction and landscape work—from driveway repairs and new home builds to drought‑tolerant yards and drainage upgrades. The mix of steady population growth and development means more projects that rely on dependable aggregates. Homeowners choose quality gravel to stabilize driveways, prevent erosion on sloped lots, create lasting pathways, and improve drainage around foundations and French drains. In Highlands, good material choice matters because regional soils and seasonal storms can expose poor bases and lead to rutting, washouts, or weed problems if aggregates are underspecified.Popular Projects in Highlands This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Highlands gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Highlands.
River gravel is rounded and smooth with mixed sizes and varied colors, great for decorative beds and drainage accents. Pea gravel is uniformly small (about 1/4" to 3/8"), rounded, and consistent in size, which makes it popular for patios, pathways, and playgrounds. In Highlands' climate both work well, but pea gravel is easier to walk on and river gravel gives a more natural, varied look.
Yes; most gravel purchases and delivered materials are subject to Texas sales tax when delivered to a Highlands address. Texas has a 6.25% state rate and local jurisdictions can add up to 2% for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%, so the exact rate depends on your delivery zip code. Hello Gravel will display the tax at checkout so you see the total before you pay.
A 50 lb bag of pea gravel is roughly 0.5 cubic feet, which covers about 6 square feet at a 1-inch depth or about 3 square feet at a 2-inch depth. For thicker layers typical of walkways or driveways (2-3 inches), you will need many bags, so for larger jobs in Highlands we recommend ordering by the ton (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons). Expect some settling and spreading after delivery, so order a little extra for clean-up and compaction.
Avoid pea gravel on steep slopes, high-traffic driveways, or long runs where the material can migrate or wash out during heavy rains. It is also a poor choice where stable compaction is needed, such as under patios or where vehicular load is frequent; crushed stone or crushed limestone is better there. For play areas and patios, pea gravel works well but expect some movement and the need for edging to contain it.
No. Senior property tax exemptions in Texas apply to property tax bills and do not exempt construction materials or delivered goods like gravel from sales tax. If you have questions about property tax exemptions or how they affect your overall project costs in Highlands, contact the local county appraisal district or your tax advisor.
Sales tax on a $70,000 gravel order depends on the local combined rate for your delivery zip code. At the Texas base rate of 6.25% you would pay about $4,375 in tax; at the maximum combined rate of 8.25% you would pay about $5,775. Hello Gravel shows the exact sales tax before you complete checkout so you can budget accurately.
County property tax rates do not directly change the per-ton price of gravel, which is mostly driven by local supply, quarry location, and hauling distance. Indirectly, higher local taxes and fees can raise operating costs for suppliers over time, which may be reflected in prices, but the immediate factors for your quote are material type, quantity, and delivery logistics. For a precise, local quote in Highlands, request a quote through Hello Gravel so suppliers and haulers account for your exact address.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
