Gravel: Resists Erosion In Semi-Arid Mexia • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Scheduling
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
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.

Why Mexia Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mexia is a small but growing West Texas city with a population of 9,170 situated inside a broader region that supports a metro area of 2.5+ million people. With steady growth of 0.70% annually, homeowners and local builders are increasingly taking on projects that require reliable aggregates—from resurfacing driveways to improving yard drainage and creating low-maintenance landscaping. Mexia’s climate, with 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches in hardiness zone 8b, creates a mix of sun exposure and periodic heavy rains that put a premium on durable materials. That combination drives demand for quality gravel that resists washout, supports vehicle traffic, and blends with local soils and plantings. Gravel performs well in Mexia’s environment because it sheds water, stabilizes surfaces, and tolerates strong sun without breaking down like some organic mulches. Regional sourcing means color and texture will reflect local geology, which helps gravel match the surrounding landscape. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, offering clear pricing, scheduled delivery dates, and guidance to help you choose the right gravel for driveways, paths, drainage swales, or decorative beds—while acknowledging natural variation and delivery limitations.Popular Projects in Mexia This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mexia gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mexia.
Costs vary by gravel type, amount, and distance from local quarries. As a rough guide, expect bulk gravel delivered to West Texas to range by type and supplier, and additional labor for spreading or compacting adds to the total; request a quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price and to see any delivery or next-day fees. Minimum orders start at 3 tons and delivery is typically by dump truck; ask for a detailed estimate before ordering.
Crushed limestone and crushed granite are common choices in West Texas because they compact well and provide a stable surface under heat. Decomposed granite and pea gravel can look nice but are looser and often need edging or stabilizers for driveways. Local availability and color vary, so check samples or your Hello Gravel quote for what suppliers in the Mexia area offer.
Calculate cubic yards first using (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.25 to 1.5 to convert to tons for most gravel types. For example, a 200 sq ft driveway at 4 inches needs about 2.47 cubic yards, or roughly 3 to 4 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team if you want help sizing your order.
Clay soils hold water and can cause rutting or settling if gravel is placed directly on top without a proper base. Adding a compacted subbase (crusher run or road base), installing geotextile fabric, and ensuring good grading will improve drainage and stability during heavy rains. Angular crushed stone drains better than fines-only mixes, so choose materials designed for structural support in wet conditions.
Gravel has the lowest upfront material cost and is quick to install, but it requires ongoing maintenance like regrading, topping up, and weed control. Asphalt is midrange in cost, provides a smoother surface, and needs periodic sealcoating and patching. Concrete usually has the highest initial cost and low routine maintenance, but can crack in freeze/thaw or poorly drained areas; evaluate long-term costs and local climate effects before deciding.
In most cases, yes: a 3 to 6 inch compacted subbase (crusher run or road base) is recommended on clay or weak soils and for driveways or heavy-load areas. A subbase provides drainage, reduces settling, and lengthens the life of the gravel surface. If your site is on well-draining, stable native soil and is low-traffic, you may be able to use a thinner base, but an on-site assessment is best.
Larger angular rock (1 to 3 inch riprap) and crushed stone work well for slope stabilization, swales, and erosion control because they slow water flow and let water pass through. Finer gravels or pea gravel are not ideal on slopes because they can wash away unless contained with geotextile fabric and proper edging. Pair gravel selection with grading, fabric, and drainage channels for effective erosion control in Mexia's landscape.
With proper base, drainage, and routine care, a gravel driveway can last many years, but it will require periodic maintenance. Plan for annual light regrading, occasional top-up of material (small amounts every 1 to 3 years), and weed control; higher-traffic areas may need more frequent attention. Regularly maintain drainage and repair low spots to prevent water pooling and accelerated wear.
Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and haulers serving the Mexia area so you can compare types and get transparent, delivered pricing. Prices depend on material type, load size, haul distance, and any requested services like tailgate spreading; our minimum order is 3 tons. Enter your zip code on the Hello Gravel site or contact our team for a custom quote and delivery options.
Yes, check local Mexia city codes and any HOA covenants before installing a gravel driveway because rules vary and some communities restrict surface materials. Contact the Mexia building or planning department and your HOA board to confirm allowed materials, setback requirements, and any permit needs. Doing this before ordering prevents surprises and potential rework.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on site access, safety, and the delivery contractor's policies. You can request spreading at checkout via Hello Gravel, and the driver will assess on arrival whether it can be done safely. If you need guaranteed spreading or compaction, consider hiring a local contractor or ordering that service separately.
Measure your area, decide on the target depth, and use the cubic yard formula or Hello Gravel's material calculator to get an estimated tonnage; remember our minimum order is 3 tons. Choose your gravel type, request delivery date (standard is 2+ business days or next-day if ordered before noon CST for a fee), and add order notes for color preferences or spreading requests. Contact our sales team if you want help with calculations or local material recommendations.
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.
