Why Mesquite Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mesquite is a growing suburban city with a city population of 134,103 and an annual growth rate of 2.70% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate supports steady residential expansion and outdoor projects. That steady development creates ongoing demand for durable, low-maintenance aggregates: homeowners are resurfacing driveways, building gravel paths, improving drainage, and updating front-yard landscaping to be more drought-tolerant. In Mesquite's shifting weather—long, hot stretches punctuated by heavy rains—quality gravel helps prevent erosion, reduces dust, and stabilizes surfaces for frequent vehicle use. Homeowners look for aggregates that balance good drainage with a stable, compactable base to stand up to both sun and periodic downpours. Gravel is a natural fit for Mesquite projects because its open texture encourages quick drainage during the area's 34.00 inches of annual rainfall while resisting breakdown under intense sunlight across 228 sunny days per year. For patios, driveways, and rain garden edges, crushed and washed gravels provide consistent performance in local soils and reduced maintenance compared with turf. Hello Gravel connects Mesquite homeowners to local suppliers and reliable haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery, and local material options that reflect the region's geology—making it easier to get the right gravel for your specific yard conditions.Popular Projects in Mesquite This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mesquite gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mesquite.
Buying in bulk is usually the cheapest option—Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and per-ton pricing drops as order size increases. Compare local material types (crushed concrete and crusher run are often less expensive than decorative stone) and consider pickup if you have a truck to avoid delivery fees. Use Hello Gravel to compare supplier quotes and delivery options for the best price.
Mesquite (population 134,103) sits in the Dallas area where local suppliers commonly offer crushed limestone, river rock, and mixed base materials. Hot summers and clay-heavy soils affect drainage and compaction, so choose materials with good drainage (rounded river rock for beds, crushed stone or crusher run for driveways). Regional sourcing means appearance and texture will vary by supplier, so request photos or samples when ordering.
Crushed stone with angular particles (commonly 3/4" crushed limestone or granite) and crusher run mixes that contain fines are the most durable because they lock and compact under traffic. Proper base preparation and compaction are equally important in Mesquite's clay soils to prevent rutting. If you expect heavy trucks, consider a thicker compacted base and talk to your supplier about road base mixes.
'Type 4' is not a universal term and can mean different mixes in different regions—some suppliers use it to describe a road-base or aggregate base material. Always ask your local supplier or Hello Gravel for the exact spec (particle size and percentage of fines) rather than relying on the name. That will make sure the material suits your use, whether for a driveway, pad, or drainage layer.
Costs vary by material and load size; a tri-axle dump commonly delivers 10–14 cubic yards (roughly 14–20 tons) and prices in Mesquite often range from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on type. That means a full truckload can run roughly $350 to $1,200 for materials, plus delivery fees if applicable. Use Hello Gravel to get exact local quotes and to see whether delivery or minimum-order fees apply.
One ton of gravel is roughly 0.7–0.75 cubic yards, so coverage depends on depth: at a 2" depth it covers about 115–120 sq ft, and at a 3" depth about 75–80 sq ft. Driveways typically use 3" or more of compacted top layer plus a thicker base, so calculate accordingly. Use Hello Gravel's calculator to convert your project area into tons for a Mesquite delivery.
Material cost depends on driveway width and depth; for a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at a 3" top layer you'd need about 2.5–3 tons, which likely hits Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum. Expect material-only costs of roughly $75–$200 depending on stone type and per-ton price, plus delivery and any base preparation or compaction costs. Remember that proper base work can increase cost but reduces maintenance over time.
You can, but it's not recommended for driveways or high-traffic areas—Mesquite's clay soils retain moisture and can lead to shifting and rutting. Remove topsoil, install a compacted aggregate base, and use landscape fabric or geotextile if needed to limit mixing with native dirt. For paths or low-use areas, lighter prep may be fine, but compacting and a few inches of proper base will extend life.
Materials labeled 'crusher run', '3/4" minus', or base course mixes that include a range of particle sizes and fines compact best because the fines lock the particles together. Clean, rounded gravels like pea gravel look nice but do not compact well for driveways. Talk to local suppliers about mixes designed for compaction and load-bearing in Mesquite conditions.
No—2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway. For driveways in Mesquite's climate you should plan on at least 3–4 inches of compacted top gravel over a properly prepared and compacted base (often 6–8 inches). Thicker base and proper compaction reduce maintenance and rutting caused by clay soils and heavy vehicles.
A single cubic yard of gravel can physically fit in the bed of many full-size pickup trucks, but weight is the limit: a yard of gravel typically weighs 2,400–3,000 lbs and may exceed your truck's payload rating. For safety and vehicle wear, many Mesquite homeowners prefer professional delivery by dump truck. Hello Gravel offers delivery options that avoid payload and legal concerns.
Normal loose gravel does not harden like concrete, but there are stabilized options: resin-bound gravel, polymer-stabilized aggregates, or decomposed granite mixed with stabilizer will form a firm surface while keeping a gravel appearance. These products cost more but are a good choice in Mesquite if you want a hard, low-dust surface that still looks natural. Ask your local supplier about availability and installation for these stabilized systems.

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.
