River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.
#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.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
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.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.

Why Mertzon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mertzon is a small community with a population of 1,270, and its steady 0.70% annual growth points to consistent demand for home improvement, modest new construction, and landscape upgrades rather than rapid building booms. With 228/year sunny days and 34.80 inches of rain annually in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners face a climate of high solar exposure combined with periodic heavy rainfall. That mix makes durability and drainage primary concerns: materials should resist UV degradation, control dust, and perform well during storm runoff. Demand will be focused on a range of bulk supplies—topsoil and compost for planting, drainage-grade sand and gravel, stable base mixes for drives and pads, and mulch or rock for erosion control. Being part of a broader region serving a metro area of 2.5+ million also means access to a wider supplier network and delivery flexibility, so local sourcing often reflects regional geology and color variations homeowners should factor into design choices.Popular Projects in Mertzon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mertzon Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mertzon.
Homeowners and contractors in Mertzon typically choose materials based on drainage, load needs, and appearance. Common choices include gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group, with selections guided by whether you need a firm driving surface, a decorative bed, or erosion control. Consider material size, angularity, and local climate when deciding, and use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance.
Mertzon’s hot, dry summers, windy conditions, and occasional heavy rains influence material choice. Materials should resist washout and dust—heavier, angular aggregates typically hold up better in wind and runoff, while finer materials can wash away. Plan for drainage and occasional maintenance, and pick materials suited to local conditions.
Measure the area in feet, decide on the required depth in inches, then calculate cubic yards: (length x width x depth in feet) / 27. Most aggregates convert roughly to 1.2–1.7 tons per cubic yard depending on material and moisture, so use that range to estimate tons or use our online material calculator for a precise figure. Order a little extra (5–10%) to account for compaction and settling.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Many areas qualify for free delivery, but remote or long-distance deliveries to small towns like Mertzon may incur an additional charge—final fees are shown at checkout.
Deliveries are usually by tri-axle dump truck, so plan for adequate width, turning room, and stable ground at the drop site. Keep driveway approaches clear of low-hanging branches and overhead lines, and be aware of any local road weight limits or narrow county roads. If access is tight, tell us at checkout and consider a staged drop or alternate placement to avoid damage.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. They will assess safety and feasibility on arrival, but spreading is not guaranteed and cannot be promised as part of the delivery. For precise grading or installation, hire a local contractor.
Local rules vary, so check with Irion County and any local HOA before starting driveway or landscape work. Permits may be required for driveway tie-ins, culverts, or major grading, and there may be setback or erosion control requirements. Hello Gravel can deliver materials but cannot provide legal or permit advice—contact local authorities for specifics.
Choose materials based on slope, expected flow, and soil type: heavier, angular aggregates are often better for channels and areas with concentrated flow, while mixed sizes can help with filtration and settling. Combine aggregates with proper grading, geotextile fabric, and vegetation for long-term stability. If you are unsure, our team can help you pick a material strategy that fits the site and budget.
Common concerns include settling, weed growth, dust, and occasional ruts after heavy use or storms. Regular topping, regrading, compaction, and the use of edging or weed barriers will reduce maintenance needs. Schedule work outside of extreme heat or immediately before heavy rain to improve results and reduce rework.
Contractors typically need the material type and spec, exact quantity (cubic yards or tons), drop location and access details, desired delivery date and time window, and whether spreading is requested. They may also ask about permits, site constraints like weight limits or low clearances, and whether you need staging or multiple drops.
For larger orders or projects in rural areas like Mertzon, allow at least a week of lead time to secure supplier availability and trucking. Standard orders can often be scheduled in 2+ business days, but remote deliveries or peak seasons may require more notice. Confirm timing in checkout and reach out if your project is time-sensitive.
Because we source materials locally, color, texture, and sizing will reflect the regional geology and can vary from photos. We recommend requesting samples, adding color or texture notes at checkout, or contacting our team for images of local loads so you know what to expect. Minor variation is normal for natural aggregates.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.

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.
