Why Marion Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Marion, with a city population of 7,170 and located in the growing West Texas metro area (metro area population: 2.5+ million), is seeing steady development that drives demand for quality aggregates. The area’s growth rate of 0.80% annually and active residential and light-commercial building mean homeowners often need materials for driveways, grading, erosion control, and landscape beds. Marion’s climate—about 228 sunny days per year and roughly 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates unique needs: materials must resist intense sun, shed water during storm events, and perform in soils that can shift with dry/wet cycles. Homeowners choose reliable gravel to improve drainage, reduce maintenance, and keep new plantings and pathways stable under local conditions.Popular Projects in Marion This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Marion gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Marion.
In Marion and West Texas, crushed limestone commonly used for driveways usually ranges about $30 to $50 per ton (roughly $40 to $65 per cubic yard). Pea gravel and decomposed granite tend to be higher, roughly $40 to $70 per ton ($52 to $91 per cubic yard). Prices vary by supplier, material quality, and delivery distance; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers transparent delivery pricing when you enter your zip code.
For Marion's hot, sometimes clay-heavy soils, angular crushed limestone or crushed granite are the best choices because they lock together and resist rutting. Decomposed granite can work for low-traffic areas and gives a natural look, but avoid loose round pea gravel for heavy or vehicle traffic since it shifts and tracks easily. Use a compacted crushed stone base and consider geotextile fabric where clay is soft or wet.
A 12' x 60' driveway covers 720 square feet. For typical wearing depths: 3 inches = 6.7 cubic yards (about 8.7 tons), 4 inches = 8.9 cubic yards (about 11.6 tons), and 6 inches = 13.3 cubic yards (about 17.3 tons) using 1.3 tons per cubic yard. If the driveway is sloped, add roughly 5 to 15% extra material; always round up and remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum.
In Marion's West Texas climate, a well-installed gravel driveway with proper base and compaction can perform well for several years, but the wearing surface typically needs topping every 1 to 5 years depending on traffic. Expect more frequent touch-ups after heavy rains or if the driveway sees trucks, RVs, or farm equipment. Regular maintenance includes regrading low spots, adding material as needed, and addressing weeds and drainage to extend life.
Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and offers excellent drainage, making it a good choice for Marion properties prone to runoff or where budget is a priority, but it requires more regular maintenance. Asphalt provides a smoother, cheaper paved surface than concrete and usually costs less upfront than concrete but more than gravel; it performs well for driveways with moderate traffic. Concrete lasts longest with the least routine maintenance but is the most expensive up front and can be pricier to repair; availability of local asphalt and concrete contractors is good in larger nearby cities, while gravel materials and delivery are widely available locally.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers that serve Marion and the surrounding West Texas area and can arrange delivery directly to your site. Many local suppliers will deliver by dump truck and some offer optional spreading or compaction through partner contractors, but services vary by supplier and are not guaranteed. When you get a quote, ask specifically about on-site spreading, compaction equipment, and whether a separate paving contractor is recommended for base work.
Rules vary: Marion city ordinances, Guadalupe County regulations, and neighborhood HOAs may have requirements for driveway materials, rock size, dust control, and drainage. Common rules cover acceptable rock sizes, limits on dust and runoff, and whether curb cuts or driveway permits are required. Before installing, check with Marion city hall, your county office, and any HOA to verify local standards and permit needs.
To reduce washout in Marion's terrain, install a geotextile fabric over the subgrade, then lay and compact a 4 to 6 inch crushed stone subbase (3/4" crushed rock is common) before the finer wearing surface. Add edge restraints and crown the driveway slightly to shed water away from the center. Proper compaction and drainage features like swales or French drains are often the most important defense against washout after heavy storms.
If your driveway will see heavy trucks, RVs, or farm equipment in Marion, plan for a stronger build: increase the compacted subbase to 8 to 12 inches of angular crushed stone and use a durable 2 to 3 inch wearing layer of larger crushed rock. Use angular materials that interlock rather than round pebbles, and ensure thorough compaction to prevent rutting. Heavier loads also mean more frequent inspections and occasional replenishment of the wearing surface.
Plan gravel installation during Marion's drier months—spring and fall are often best—so crews can compact material properly and rain won't wash fresh gravel away. West Texas summer heat won't harm the gravel itself but can make work slower and dusty; schedule early start times and ensure hydration and dust control. Avoid installing right before heavy rain forecasts and request confirmation of delivery windows through Hello Gravel's scheduling options.
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.
