Why Little River-Academy Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Little River-Academy has a population of 2,033 and sits within a steadily growing West Texas metro that supports steady home improvement activity; the larger metro area totals 501,216 residents and expands at about 0.40% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 36.55 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8a—means yards face both sun exposure and episodic rain-driven runoff. That combination drives demand for durable, low-maintenance landscaping materials: homeowners here want surfaces that shed water, resist erosion, and reduce dusty bare soil under long sun exposure. Gravel is a common choice because it provides drainage, stabilizes paths and driveways, and requires minimal upkeep, making it a practical aggregate for both DIY projects and contractor work as this community grows. Gravel works well in Little River-Academy’s environment because angular and crushed mixes promote fast drainage during the region’s periodic rains while resisting movement under repeated heat and sun. For driveways, walkways, French drains, and xeriscaping, gravel reduces mud and erosion, and it pairs well with native soils found in West Texas. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and haulers so you can pick the right size and color, schedule delivery on a date that fits your project, and receive material via professional dump-truck fleets—standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day options available before noon CST for an additional fee.Popular Projects in Little River-Academy This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Little River-Academy gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Little River-Academy.
In the Little River-Academy area you’ll most commonly see crushed limestone and crusher-run (mixed sizes with fines). You may also find pea gravel and river rock for decorative uses, crushed concrete for recycled base, and decomposed granite or crushed granite in some spots. Availability varies by supplier, so colors and sizes reflect local geology.
Delivery costs vary with distance, truck type, and load size, but expect roughly $10 to $35 per ton or $25 to $60 per cubic yard as a typical range in rural West Texas. Hello Gravel’s platform can show delivery fees up front and many areas qualify for free or reduced delivery depending on local supplier arrangements. Ask for a detailed quote to include tailgate unloading or next-day service fees.
For driveways and farm lanes in Little River-Academy, 3/4" crushed limestone or crusher-run are popular because they compact well and resist rutting. For heavier traffic or farm equipment, a larger angular base rock topped with 1-2 inches of crusher-run adds durability. Decorative pea gravel looks nice but shifts more and needs edging or stabilization for drive lanes.
Calculate cubic yards first: area (sq ft) x depth (in inches) / 324 = cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by the material density (about 1.3 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard; use 1.4 for a good estimate) to get tons. For example, a 12 ft x 40 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is 480 x 4 / 324 = 5.93 yd3, which at 1.4 tons/yd3 is about 8.3 tons.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, which covers most small homeowner jobs. Local quarries or independent haulers in West Texas may set minimums from 3 to 10 tons depending on distance and truck routing. Enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see available suppliers, exact minimums, and supplier-specific delivery options.
In hot, dry West Texas you should expect to grade and refill low spots at least once a year, with regrading more often after heavy rains. Adding 1 to 3 inches of fresh gravel every 3 to 5 years helps maintain surface shape; the overall driveway can perform well for 10 to 30 years depending on traffic and upkeep. Good drainage and periodic compaction extend life and reduce washboarding.
Gravel is much cheaper up front, permeable, and easy to repair—ideal for rural properties where cost and drainage matter. Asphalt and concrete are longer lasting with lower routine maintenance and a smoother surface for high traffic, but they cost significantly more and require professional installation. Consider budget, traffic, local appearance, and whether you need a paved surface for snow removal or heavy equipment.
Yes—on clay soils common near Little River-Academy, a combination of geotextile fabric and a compacted aggregate base works best. Install 4 to 6 inches of compacted base material (crusher fines or compactable rock) over geotextile, then add 2 to 3 inches of top gravel for driveways. The fabric reduces mixing of fines and improves drainage while the compacted base prevents rutting.
Rules vary: many rural properties do not need a permit for a private gravel driveway, but connecting to a county or state road, changing drainage, or installing curbs can require county or TxDOT approval. If you live in an HOA or inside town limits, check local zoning and HOA guidelines before ordering. Hello Gravel can deliver materials, but you should confirm permits and restrictions with your local city/county office or HOA first.
Contractor costs depend on job size and local labor rates; for small residential jobs expect roughly $150 to $600 for spreading and compaction, while larger driveways can run $500 to $2,500 or more including equipment. Hourly rates for labor and equipment often fall between $50 and $100 per hour. Get 2 to 3 local quotes and specify whether price includes hauling, spreading by hand, machine grading, and compaction.
Gravel appearance reflects local geology, so color, texture, and fines will vary by supplier and region around Little River-Academy. Photos are representative; they won’t be an exact match. You can add color preferences or notes at checkout with Hello Gravel, and our team will pass them to suppliers, but exact matches can’t be guaranteed.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
