Why Joshua Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Joshua is a growing West Texas community with a city population of 20,000 and part of a metro area of 2.5+ million. With an annual growth rate of 2.33%, new residential builds, driveway upgrades, and landscape renovations are common as homeowners respond to expanding demand. Local climate — about 228/year sunny days and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall — means materials must handle both intense sun and episodic storms. In hardiness zone 8b, soil conditions and irrigation needs can vary, so homeowners and contractors choose reliable aggregates to stabilize surfaces, manage runoff, and lower long-term maintenance. Quality gravel is frequently used because it reduces erosion, provides a durable walking and driving surface, and creates a permeable layer that helps protect foundations and beds in Joshua's neighborhoods. Gravel performs especially well in Joshua’s environment by shedding water after storms and resisting breakdown under frequent sun exposure. Well-graded, angular gravel (for example 3/4" crushed stone) locks together for driveways and paths, while finer pea gravel or decomposed varieties work for garden accents and walkways. Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture reflect local geology and tend to compact effectively on native soils. We connect you with vetted local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, letting you order online, schedule a convenient delivery date, and get transparent pricing and local expertise for every gravel project.Popular Projects in Joshua This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Joshua gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Joshua.
Expect wide price variation by type: common crushed limestone or base gravel in Joshua generally runs around $25 to $65 per ton, while decorative pea gravel or river rock can be higher. Delivery fees depend on distance and order size; many orders in West Texas qualify for free delivery through Hello Gravel, but fees of $25 to $75 are common when charged. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and the exact price and delivery fee are shown at checkout or on a quote.
For driveways in Joshua, crushed limestone or crushed granite with angular edges are the most common because they lock together and compact well. For patios and decorative areas, decomposed granite or pea gravel are popular for appearance but may need edging and a compacted base to prevent shifting. Choose angular stone for vehicle areas and smaller rounded stone for seating or drainage areas.
Joshua and surrounding West Texas soils often contain clay and caliche layers that drain slowly and can heave when wet or dry. That means you should prepare a well-compacted base, add a granular subbase, and use geotextile fabric where needed to separate gravel from native soil and improve drainage. Proper slope and grading away from structures are also important to prevent standing water and washout.
Most common gravel and crushed stone used around Joshua weighs roughly 1.4 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard (about 2,800 to 3,400 pounds per cubic yard). In practical terms, one ton of gravel is roughly 0.6 to 0.7 cubic yards depending on rock type and moisture. Use the 1.5 tons per cubic yard rule of thumb when estimating, but confirm with your supplier for precise planning.
As a quick guide: a 12x12 patio at 2-3 inches depth needs about 1 to 2 tons of gravel; a single-car driveway (12x20) at 4 inches needs roughly 5 to 7 tons; a two-car driveway (20x30) at 4 inches needs about 10 to 14 tons. These are estimates—final needs change with depth, compaction, and base layers, so use Hello Gravel's material calculator or request a quote for an exact number.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and haul fleets that service the Joshua area so you can get local aggregate.

We manage coordination and delivery but can also help you find local contractors for installation.
Gravel itself is durable in high heat, but West Texas storms and heavy rains can cause washout and rutting if the gravel isn't properly installed. To prevent washout, use a well-compacted base, proper drainage (swales or French drains), larger or angular stone for stability, and edging to keep material in place. Regular maintenance after storms—regrading and adding material—helps keep surfaces functional.
Excavate soft topsoil, install a geotextile fabric if needed, add and compact a graded subbase (4-6 inches for driveways), then install and compact the final gravel layer (2-4 inches for decorative, 4-6+ inches for vehicle traffic). Use a plate compactor or roller in passes, maintain a slight crown in the center for runoff, and install edge restraint to prevent spreading. Proper compaction and drainage are the keys to long-lasting gravel surfaces.
Possibly. City building rules, county codes, and HOA covenants vary—some HOAs restrict loose gravel or require particular materials and colors. Before ordering, check Joshua city or Parker County permit requirements and review any HOA guidelines. Hello Gravel can help with delivery logistics but cannot override local regulations, so confirm with local authorities or your HOA first.
Gravel has a lower upfront cost than asphalt, concrete, or pavers, making it attractive for many homeowners in Joshua, but it requires more frequent maintenance like regrading and topping up every few years. Asphalt and concrete are more expensive initially but typically need less regular replenishment; pavers add aesthetic value and durability but are highest cost up front. Consider local drainage, traffic loads, and long-term maintenance budget when choosing materials.
On slopes, use larger, angular base material, terracing where practical, geotextile fabric, and solid edge restraints to hold material in place. Installing swales, check dams, or small retaining walls and directing runoff away from gravel areas reduces erosion risk during heavy rains. Regular inspections after storms and prompt regrading or adding material will keep slopes stable.
Order at least the 3-ton minimum, check available delivery dates in the checkout calendar, and request next-day delivery before noon CST if you need it (additional fee may apply). Add delivery notes for drop location, obstacles, and spreading requests; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. If you need help calculating quantities, use our material calculator or contact our support team for a quote.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
