Why Mertzon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mertzon sits at the edge of West Texas with a city population of 1,270 and is part of a broader metro area population of 2.5+ million. The town’s steady growth (0.70% annually), long sun season (228/year), and moderate annual rainfall (34.25 inches) shape local landscaping and building needs. Homeowners here often tackle projects like driveway repair, erosion control on rural lots, ranch road maintenance, and low-water landscaping. Those projects drive demand for reliable, locally sourced aggregates: homeowners want materials that drain well, resist washout during storms, and hold up under prolonged sun and heat. Quality gravel reduces maintenance, stabilizes surfaces, and complements drought-tolerant plantings suited to hardiness zone 8b. Gravel is a practical choice for Mertzon’s climate and soils because it improves drainage and creates stable, low-maintenance surfaces that perform well in both sunny, dry stretches and heavier rain events. In this area, regional sourcing matters—local gravel reflects the geology and will weather predictably on driveways and paths. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers, offers clear pricing and scheduling, and manages deliveries by dump truck with a minimum order of 3 tons. Order scheduling options include standard delivery (2+ business days) and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST.Popular Projects in Mertzon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mertzon gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mertzon.
In Mertzon and similar West Texas towns, expect per-ton delivered prices to vary by type: common crushed limestone or road-base is often around $20 to $40 per ton, pea gravel roughly $30 to $50 per ton, and decorative river rock $50 to $90 per ton. Prices depend on supplier distance, truck access, and whether spreading is requested, and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Always get a local quote since regional sourcing and haul distance can change price significantly.
For driveways and rural roads in Mertzon, crush-and-run (road base) and 3/4" crushed limestone are the top choices because they compact well and resist rutting. Pea gravel and river rock are fine for decorative areas but tend to shift under traffic and are not ideal for primary driveways. If caliche is present on site, a crushed base over a prepared subgrade gives the most durable result.
Caliche and clay soils in the Mertzon area often create a hard, impermeable layer that reduces drainage and can prevent proper compaction of gravel layers. You may need to remove or scarify the caliche layer, install geotextile fabric, and build a thicker, compacted base to prevent settling and puddling. Adding a layer of crushed base and ensuring positive surface grades helps water run off rather than ponding on the gravel.
Convert area and depth to cubic yards then to tons: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in feet) / 27, and 1 cubic yard of gravel is about 1.4 tons (use 1.4 to 1.6 for denser rock). Examples: a 2-car driveway 20'x20' at 4" depth needs roughly 4 cubic yards or about 5.5 to 6 tons; a 10'x10' patio at 2" depth is about 0.6 cubic yards or ~1 ton; a 100-foot path 3' wide at 2" depth is roughly 1.9 cubic yards or ~2.7 tons. Trucks used for delivery are typically tri-axle dump trucks that hold roughly 10 to 15 cubic yards (about 14 to 20 tons) depending on local axle limits, and Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons.
In Mertzon's hot, dry climate a properly built gravel driveway can last many years but will need regular maintenance: light regrading and filling low spots annually and adding 1 to 2 inches of new gravel every 3 to 5 years depending on traffic. After heavy storms, check for washouts and re-grade as needed; compacting after installation greatly extends life. Decorative beds require less frequent topping but benefit from occasional raking and replenishment to maintain appearance.
Many local haulers serving Mertzon will deliver gravel and may offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion for a fee, but this service is not guaranteed. Homeowners commonly hire local landscapers or rent small equipment for controlled spreading and compaction when a polished finish is required. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery with trusted local suppliers and can note spreading requests at checkout, but final availability is set by the supplier and driver.
Mertzon is a small, rural town in Irion County where many properties do not have strict municipal HOA rules, but requirements can vary by subdivision or landlord. Before installing a driveway that ties into a county road or involves ditch work, check with Irion County officials for any driveway or right-of-way permits. If you belong to an HOA or live in a recorded subdivision, confirm rules about surface materials, edge treatment, and drainage before ordering.
To reduce washout risk in Mertzon, build positive grades so water drains away from the surface, install edging or curbing to hold gravel in place, and place geotextile fabric over the subgrade to stabilize the base. Use check dams or small swales on long slopes to slow runoff and consider a thicker compacted base (road base) in wash-prone areas. Proper compaction and occasional regrading after storms are essential maintenance steps.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, the color, angularity, and fines content of gravel for Mertzon projects will reflect West Texas geology and can vary by supplier. Expect natural variation in shade and texture from photos; if you have a color preference, add it to Order Notes or request photos from your supplier prior to delivery. Small-sample requests or requesting a nearby job photo can help set expectations before ordering.
Schedule delivery through Hello Gravel's checkout calendar—standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day is possible for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee. On delivery day, clear a turning area and mark the desired drop spot, note overhead obstructions and driveway weight limits, and communicate any spreading requests in advance; drivers will evaluate safety and may refuse tailgate spreading if conditions are unsafe. If access is tight, consider meeting the driver on site and confirming exact placement before the dump.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
