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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Milam Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Milam is a small West Texas community of 700 residents situated within a metro area of 2.3+ million, where steady growth (0.32% annually) and a mix of residential and light construction projects drive local demand for reliable aggregates. With an arid-leaning climate that still averages 48.40 inches of rain and 204 sunny days per year, homeowners face conditions that demand durable, well-draining surfaces. Hardiness zone 8b supports diverse landscaping choices but also means seasonal temperature swings and occasional heavy rainfall events that test driveways, pathways, and drainage beds. For homeowners upgrading driveways, building patios, or fixing erosion-prone slopes, quality gravel minimizes dust, improves runoff control, and creates a low-maintenance base for pavers and hardscapes. Local contractors also rely on consistent supply and correct gradation to meet project specs, so sourcing the right material matters for long-term performance.Popular Projects in Milam This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Milam gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Milam.
Delivered gravel prices in Milam and surrounding West Texas commonly range depending on type and distance. Expect bulk common gravel or crushed limestone around $30 to $70 per ton delivered, while decorative materials like river rock or colored granite can run $60 to $120 per ton. Final price depends on material type, haul distance from local quarries, and any delivery fees or minimums; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may offer free delivery in some areas.
For Milam's hot, dry summers and occasionally heavy rains, 3/4" to 1" crushed limestone or crushed granite are the most dependable for driveways because they compact well and resist rutting. Decomposed granite is attractive and low-profile but can wash or compact too much without stabilizer, while river rock is decorative but tends to move under vehicle traffic. Choose a crushed, angular material for load-bearing areas and add a compacted base to improve long-term performance.
Use 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons for gravel as a planning number. Typical quantities: a 2-car driveway (12' x 40') at 3" depth is roughly 6 tons and at 4" about 8 tons; a 2-car parking pad (12' x 20') at 3" is about 3 tons and at 4" about 5.8 tons; a 10' x 10' patio at 2" depth is under 1 ton but Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. These are estimates; order a little extra for compaction, grading, and future settling.
Local delivery charges vary by distance and truck size; small local deliveries around Milam are often included or low-cost if within supplier haul zones, but rural hauls can add $50 to $200 or more. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at drivers' discretion and may carry an extra fee of about $30 to $100 if offered; pickup only eliminates delivery charges but requires a suitable truck and loading. Use Hello Gravel checkout to see supplier-specific delivery fees and request spreading at checkout knowing the driver will assess safety on arrival.
Hot, dry summers in Milam create dust and can shift fines, while occasional heavy rains can cause washouts if surfaces lack proper slope, edging, and compaction. To reduce issues, install a stable base, use angular crushed stone for the top layer, crown the driveway for runoff, and add durable edging to keep gravel in place. Expect periodic regrading and topping up after severe storms and every few years as part of normal maintenance.
Permits and HOA rules vary by location; some rural Milam County properties have few restrictions, but within Milam city limits or in an HOA you may need a permit or design approval. Check with Milam City Hall, Milam County planning, or your HOA before starting work to confirm setbacks, drainage, and surface requirements. If you need help, Hello Gravel's team can point you toward local contacts to check codes.
Contractors typically recommend removing organic topsoil, compacting the subgrade, then installing 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed rock base before a 2 to 4 inch top layer of surface gravel. Use geotextile fabric to separate fines from the base on very soft soils, and install solid edging like steel, timber, pavers, or a concrete curb to prevent lateral spread. Also add a slight crown (about 1/8" to 1/4" per foot) for water runoff to reduce washouts in heavy rain.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and fastest installation—typical installed gravel driveways in West Texas often run $1 to $3 per square foot—while asphalt is midrange ($3 to $7/sq ft) and concrete is highest ($6 to $15/sq ft). Gravel requires more routine maintenance such as regrading and adding material every few years, whereas asphalt and concrete need less frequent but sometimes more expensive repairs. For rural Milam properties, gravel often makes sense for budget and flexibility, but consider traffic, desired longevity, and maintenance willingness.
Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and haulers in the West Texas/Milam area; for full installation, look for local landscape contractors, road base crews, or farm contractors who handle aggregate work. Labor and crew costs vary; smaller local crews may charge by the hour ($40 to $90/hr) or offer job-based pricing—many installers bundle site prep, base installation, and surface gravel into a per-square-foot or per-ton price. Always get multiple estimates, ask for references, and confirm that crews handle compaction and drainage for West Texas conditions.
For drought-prone Milam landscaping, small crushed limestone or crushed granite (3/8" to 3/4") are durable, affordable, and stable under foot traffic; decomposed granite can give a compacted, low-water surface but may need stabilizer in traffic areas. River rock and larger decorative stones are attractive but more expensive and prone to movement without edging. Consider local regional color options, and ask suppliers for samples because color and texture vary by West Texas source.

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.
