Gravel: Drought-Tolerant Drainage For Hillsboro • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Scheduling
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Hillsboro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hillsboro is a West Texas community of 10,250 residents experiencing steady, measured growth (0.70% annually). With 228 sunny days a year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate supports both drought-tolerant landscapes and periodic heavy downpours that stress drainage systems. That combination—sunny, warm conditions punctuated by meaningful seasonal rain—drives demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, patios, erosion control, and base layers for hardscaping. Homeowners here prefer materials that balance permeability, stability, and low maintenance; quality gravel helps prevent puddling, reduce mud during wet spells, and limit dust and washout under persistent sun. Regional sourcing means texture and color will reflect West Texas geology, so choosing the right gravel for both function and curb appeal is important for lasting results.Popular Projects in Hillsboro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hillsboro gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hillsboro.
A standard tri-axle dump truck in the Hillsboro area typically carries about 10-12 tons. Delivered price depends on the gravel type and distance to the supplier, but a full dump truck delivery is commonly in the range of $600 to $1,200 as a ballpark estimate. Exact cost varies by supplier and regional availability, so request a quote for your zip code.
Delivered price per ton in the Hillsboro/West Texas area usually runs about $60 to $120 per ton depending on material type and supplier. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so per-ton pricing may be lower on larger orders or full truckloads. For a firm price, check our checkout or request a custom quote.
In West Texas, crushed limestone or caliche-based gravels are often the most cost-effective choices for driveways because they are locally abundant. Recycled concrete or crushed asphalt can also be economical depending on local supply. Prices vary by season and supplier, so compare quotes for the cheapest local option.
For a 100-foot driveway at 12 feet wide, 3 inches depth equals about 11.1 cubic yards (roughly 15.5 tons), and 4 inches depth equals about 14.8 cubic yards (roughly 20.8 tons). West Texas driveways typically use 3-4 inches compacted for normal passenger use; increase to 4-6 inches for heavier vehicles. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or request help to get a precise quantity for your project.
A 20x20 area at 3 inches deep needs about 3.7 cubic yards (roughly 5.2 tons) of gravel. Material plus delivery for that quantity is commonly in the $300 to $700 range, while spreading and compacting by a contractor can add $200 to $700 depending on access and labor rates. Prices vary by supplier and whether tailgate spreading is possible, so request a detailed estimate for your address.
Generally, 2 inches is too thin for a driveway in Hillsboro; it will not compact into a stable surface and will wear quickly. We recommend at least 3-4 inches compacted for passenger vehicle driveways and 4-6 inches for heavier use. Also consider a good base layer (crusher-run or compacted subbase) if the soil is soft or poorly draining.
A common durable setup is a compacted base of crusher-run (3/4" minus) topped with a 3/8" to 3/4" crushed stone surface (often called 57 or 3/4" clean). Crusher-run has fines that help lock the base together, while top grades provide good drainage and traction. Local suppliers in West Texas may offer slightly different mixes, so ask for recommendations based on your slope and traffic.
One cubic yard of gravel covers about 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth. For other depths, divide the number of square feet by 27 and then multiply by the depth in inches divided by 12 to get cubic yards. One cubic yard typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on material type and moisture.
The most cost-effective option is usually delivery by local dump truck, especially if you order the 3-ton minimum or more; full truckloads reduce the per-ton delivery cost. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery (2+ business days) and next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. If you can pick up directly from a nearby supplier with a suitable vehicle, that can save on delivery, but check local availability first.
Many local suppliers and contracted haulers deliver to Hillsboro addresses, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Professional spreading, grading, and compaction are usually billed separately by contractors; typical labor costs vary widely but often run from a few hundred to several hundred dollars for small driveways. Ask for separate line items for material, delivery, and installation when getting quotes.
Cheaper alternatives can include recycled concrete, crushed asphalt, or compacted native material (caliche), which are often less expensive than premium crushed stone. Recycled materials can save money but may behave differently for drainage and long-term maintenance. Compare lifecycle costs—initial savings may be offset by more frequent maintenance—so get local contractor input for Hillsboro conditions.
Hello Gravel can arrange delivery to Hillsboro and will schedule a dump truck for your order; spreading is offered at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Ballpark material+delivery estimates: a small 20x20 driveway might cost $300 to $800 total, while a 100-foot driveway (12' wide at 3-4") is commonly $900 to $2,500 depending on depth and material. For an accurate quote, check your zip code on our site or contact our team with project dimensions and preferred 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.
