Why Melissa Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Melissa has a population of 22,760 and sits within a metro area of 2.5+ million. A steady 0.70% annual growth rate points to consistent, ongoing demand for home improvement and small-scale construction rather than a short-term boom. For homeowners that translates into frequent driveway repairs, patio and hardscape upgrades, garden renovations, and new landscaping installations that require reliable access to bulk materials. Melissa’s climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days annually and 34.80 inches of rain each year—creates practical material needs: products must resist prolonged sun exposure, shed water effectively during storms, and help retain moisture during dry spells. That combination increases demand for a range of materials, from soil amendments and mulches to well-graded aggregates and drainage-friendly sands. Choosing quality, locally sourced bulk supplies helps projects last longer, lowers maintenance, and matches materials to the local environment. Local soils and weather in Melissa create two main material challenges: strong solar exposure that accelerates breakdown of organic products and episodic rainfall that exposes poor drainage or erosion-prone installations. Materials that perform best here balance permeability with stability—well-graded aggregates and engineered soils reduce settling while moisture-retentive yet rot-resistant mulches and topsoils support plant health. For homeowners, that means prioritizing function (drainage, stabilization, or plant support) and specifying particle size, organic content, and local suitability rather than aesthetics alone. Hello Gravel helps by connecting homeowners to local suppliers and haulers, offering material calculators and delivery scheduling so you get the right type and quantity for durable, low-maintenance results tailored to Melissa’s conditions.Popular Projects in Melissa This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Melissa Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Melissa.
Start by matching material performance to the use: consider whether the surface will see vehicles, foot traffic, or just decoration. Think about drainage, how much maintenance you want, and the look you prefer; gravel, sand, dirt, stone perform differently for load-bearing, compaction, and erosion control. Use our material calculator and contact the sales team for recommendations based on your project size and local conditions.
Hot, dry summers can increase dust and settling, while occasional heavy rain can cause washouts or erosion, so choose materials that resist displacement and shed water well. Regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology, so expect some variation in texture and color. For sloped areas or poor drainage, prioritize options that promote runoff control and stability.
Calculate by area and desired depth: 1 cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, so multiply your area (sq ft) by depth (in inches) and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Convert to tons using a rough range of 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the material density. For example, a 12 x 40 ft driveway (480 sq ft) at 3 inches deep needs about 4.4 cubic yards, roughly 5 to 7 tons depending on the material.
Minimum orders start at 3 tons, with standard delivery generally taking 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and free delivery may apply in many areas but depends on your zip code (check 75454). Deliveries arrive by dump truck (typically tri-axle) and we coordinate scheduling and confirmation once the order is placed.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess site access, safety, and equipment before deciding whether spreading is feasible. If spreading is essential, plan for possible additional labor or equipment.
Spring and fall are usually best because temperatures are milder and soils are easier to work, while summer heat can make installations harder and winter can complicate scheduling. Also consider local rainfall patterns—avoid scheduling major grading or spreading right before the rainy season to reduce washout risks. Book early in peak seasons to secure your preferred delivery date.
Maintenance frequency depends on material, use, and exposure: high-traffic driveways may need top-ups every 1-3 years, while decorative areas can go longer between replenishment. Check for low spots, erosion after heavy rains, and spread material back into place as needed; edging or stabilizers can reduce movement and extend time between maintenance. Regular inspections after storms help catch issues early.
Possibly—many HOAs and some city rules have guidelines on driveway materials, visible front-yard surfaces, and drainage. Check Melissa city ordinances and your HOA covenants before ordering to confirm permitted materials, setbacks, and stormwater requirements. When in doubt, contact your HOA or the city planning office before placing an order.
Materials are sourced regionally, so color, texture, and size can vary based on local geology and recent batches. Photos are representative; if appearance is critical, add notes at checkout and contact our team to discuss options. If the delivered material seems materially different than what was ordered, contact customer service so we can review and help resolve the issue.
Compare drainage, compaction, required maintenance, appearance, and cost for the intended use—what works well for a walkway may not be best for a driveway. Also consider slope, traffic type (foot vs vehicle), and how often you want to replenish material. Use our online tools or speak to the sales team for side-by-side guidance tailored to Melissa conditions and your project goals.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

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.
