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.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.

Why Lorena Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lorena, Texas (city population 11,780) is experiencing steady demand for home improvement and construction as a result of modest but consistent growth—0.70% annually—which typically translates into ongoing residential upgrades, new builds, and infrastructure projects rather than sudden booms. The local climate (hardiness zone 8b) with 228 sunny days per year and 34.80 inches of rain annually shapes the kinds of materials homeowners need: durable, UV-resistant groundcovers and mulches, stable base materials for driveways and pads, permeable aggregates for drainage, and topsoils or blends that support drought-tolerant plantings. With a broader metro area population of 2.5+ million supporting regional development, buyers in Lorena increasingly look for convenience, clear pricing, and reliable delivery when sourcing bulk materials for landscaping, erosion control, and outdoor living projects. Local conditions—hot, sunny stretches punctuated by seasonal rainfall—create specific performance requirements for aggregates, soils, and organic products. High sun exposure speeds surface drying and can fade or break down organic materials faster, while episodic rainfall makes erosion control, proper grading, and permeable layers essential to prevent runoff and pooling. Soil texture and compaction affect how well materials interlock and how quickly water moves through a project site, so homeowners should favor mixes and aggregate gradations suited to stable compaction and good drainage. Hello Gravel helps by connecting customers to locally sourced materials, offering quantity guidance and delivery scheduling so homeowners can choose products that match Lorena’s climate and site-specific needs.Popular Projects in Lorena This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lorena Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lorena.
Local searches often include phrases like 'bulk gravel near me', 'deliver sand Lorena TX', 'buy dirt 76655', or 'stone delivery West Texas'. Including your zip code and project type (driveway, patio, garden) helps narrow results and get accurate quotes.
Standard delivery in the Lorena area is typically 2 or more business days from order, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Availability depends on supplier and truck scheduling, so check your zip code on checkout and choose your preferred delivery date.
Consider load-bearing needs, drainage, appearance, and maintenance: some materials compact well for driveways while others are better for planting beds or play areas. Think about how the surface will be used, local drainage conditions, and the look you want, then use our material guides or chat with our team to match those needs.
Lorena's hot summers and occasional heavy rains mean materials that drain well and resist washout are often better for paths and slopes. Organic materials can break down faster in heat, so choose more durable aggregates for high-traffic or erosion-prone areas and plan for periodic replenishment.
Estimate volume by measuring area length, width, and desired depth, then convert cubic feet to tons using our material calculator. As a rule of thumb, order a little extra for compaction and grading; our calculator and sales team can provide tailored estimates for your project and local material density.
Price depends on material type, quantity, local supplier rates, and delivery distance; larger orders often lower the per-ton cost. Expect additional fees for next-day delivery or specialized services, and check the quote for minimum order requirements and any local hauling charges.
Permit and HOA requirements vary; many homeowners in Lorena need HOA approval for visible surfaces and may need city permits for significant grading or drainage changes. Contact your HOA and the city planning or building office before ordering to confirm rules and avoid delays.
Pick materials that promote infiltration and resist displacement on slopes; coarser, well-graded aggregates typically improve drainage, while finer materials may wash away. Also consider using edging, geotextile fabric, or retaining features to stabilize slopes, and consult with our team for local recommendations.
Dump trucks typically deliver to an accessible driveway or open area; drivers will place loads where safe and legal. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion based on site conditions, and is not guaranteed.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture can vary based on local geology, so exact matches to photos are not guaranteed. You can add color preferences in Order Notes and contact customer service if you need guidance before ordering.
Contact our team as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easier before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but changes cannot be guaranteed once hauling is scheduled.
Common projects include driveways, patios, drainage swales, raised beds, and erosion control. Use compaction-friendly, load-bearing aggregates for driveways, free-draining materials for swales and beds, and contractor-grade mixes for large landscaping or construction jobs; our product pages explain typical uses for each material group.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.
Please type in your zip code on any product screen and it will let you know if we service your area. The chances are that we do!
The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
