Why Kaufman Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kaufman has a city population of 20,850 and sits inside a larger metro with a population of 2.5+ million. A steady growth rate of 0.70% annually suggests consistent, ongoing demand for residential and small commercial projects rather than boom-or-bust spikes; homeowners can expect steady neighborhood infill, repairs, and outdoor upgrades as typical needs. With 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.80 inches in hardiness zone 8b, materials must handle strong sun exposure, occasional heavy rain, and generally mild winters. That combination drives demand for reliable bulk supplies—soil blends for planting, durable base materials for driveways and pads, drainage aggregates to manage runoff, and mulches or topsoils that retain moisture in hot conditions. For Kaufman homeowners, quality, locally sourced materials matter because they perform better under local climate stress and reduce the risk of premature failure or rework.Popular Projects in Kaufman This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kaufman Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Kaufman.
Start with the project's function: load-bearing surfaces need more compactable, angular material while decorative beds prioritize appearance and weed control. Consider drainage, local climate (hot summers, occasional heavy rain), and how the material will be maintained. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and quiz to compare options like gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and contact our team for recommendations based on your plan and budget.
Pick a material that compacts well and sheds water so it supports vehicle loads and limits rutting. Aim for a layered approach: a compacted base, an intermediate layer, and a wearing course sized for traffic; depth depends on vehicle type and soil. Ask our team about recommended thickness and local mixes that work with Kaufman’s soil and rainfall patterns.
Choose materials that help manage moisture and heat: permeable options improve drainage after heavy rains, while organic cover helps retain moisture in hot months. Combining soil amendments with a top layer of rock or mulch can reduce erosion and watering needs. Remember regional variation: locally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, stone may look and behave differently than images online.
Use Hello Gravel's online material calculator for a fast estimate by entering area and desired depth; this accounts for cubic yards and tons. As a quick method, multiply square footage by depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. If you’re unsure, provide project dimensions to our team and we’ll help estimate and recommend a small overage for compaction and settling.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Materials arrive by dump truck (usually tri-axle) and there is a minimum order size. Delivery distance and local supplier availability can affect timing, so check your zip code at checkout for exact options.
Pricing typically reflects the material amount, haul distance, and any service upgrades like next-day delivery. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing up front and in many areas offers free delivery; additional fees may apply for long hauls or special services. Enter your zip code and delivery details to see the exact cost before you check out.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout. Whether spreading is possible depends on site access, safety, and the truck/driver’s ability, and Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading. If spreading is essential, note it in Order Notes and be prepared to arrange a separate spreading service if needed.
Spring and fall are generally the most favorable for landscaping and heavy installations because temperatures are milder and the ground is usually workable. Avoid scheduling major earthwork during the hottest summer weeks or immediately after heavy rains when compaction and finish work can be difficult. Plan ahead for busy seasons to secure your preferred delivery date.
Some projects—driveway expansions, retaining walls, or front-yard hardscaping—may require city permits or HOA approval. Requirements vary by municipality and association, so check with Kaufman city offices and your HOA before ordering material. Hello Gravel can help with quantities and delivery timing once your permits or approvals are in place.
Kaufman often has clayey soils that hold water and can expand or shrink, which affects compaction and drainage. That makes choosing the right base material and proper grading more important to prevent settling and runoff issues. Selecting materials that improve drainage and adding proper sub-base layers helps long-term performance in local conditions.
Grade the site so water flows away from structures, and use permeable top layers and properly sized base materials to slow runoff. Consider geotextile fabric under loose material, install edging to contain material, and add drains or swales where concentrated flows occur. Proper installation and maintenance are key—our team can recommend material blends that minimize erosion for Kaufman conditions.
Walkways typically use finer, stable surface materials that are comfortable to walk on, while structural uses need coarser, load-bearing materials that compact well. Thickness and compaction requirements differ: walkways may require less depth than driveways or load-bearing pads. Tell us the intended use and expected traffic and we’ll suggest suitable material types and depths for your Kaufman project.
Contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible with photos and details; we will work with you and the local supplier to resolve issues. Resolution depends on timing and the specific situation, and we’ll guide you through next steps including claims or quality concerns. Check our policy pages for timelines and documentation requests when reporting a problem.
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.
