Why Petersburg Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Petersburg has a population of 1,070 and sits within a growing West Texas metro that totals 2.7+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually, homeowners and small-scale builders are increasingly investing in durable outdoor upgrades—from new driveways and drainage beds to xeriscaped yards and foundation backfill. Petersburg's climate, with 228/year sunny days, a hardiness zone of 8b, and annual rainfall of 34.32 inches, favors low-maintenance, well-draining materials. Gravel reduces erosion, improves surface drainage after storm events, and stands up to high sun exposure better than many organic mulches. Because regional sourcing matters, homeowners seek suppliers who can match material size, texture, and color to a specific project, helping properties resist rutting and reduce long-term maintenance.Popular Projects in Petersburg This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Petersburg gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Petersburg.
Prices vary by gravel type and supplier, so there is no single local price for one ton. Factors that affect cost include the rock type (pea, crushed stone, river rock), delivery distance, and whether you need spreading. Hello Gravel can give an instant quote for your zip code; note our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery may be included in many areas.
Angular crushed stone (often called 3/4" crushed stone or crusher run) is the most durable choice for driveways and heavy traffic because it locks together when compacted. In West Texas and around Petersburg, crushed limestone or local caliche-based aggregates are common and perform well when properly installed. For the highest strength, pair a compacted crushed base with a wearing layer of crushed stone.
Common types available locally include pea gravel (small rounded stones), river rock (larger smooth stones), crushed stone/crusher run (angular, compacts well), and decomposed granite (finer, dusty texture). Each type has different looks and performance: pea gravel for decoration and drainage, crusher run for driveways, and decomposed granite for paths. Regional suppliers may use locally sourced material, so color and texture can vary.
River gravel is typically larger and rounded, with a variety of sizes and smooth edges from water wear. Pea gravel is smaller (about 1/8" to 3/8") and very uniform and rounded, which makes it good for walkways, play areas, and decorative beds. In Petersburg, river rock is often used for accents and dry creek beds, while pea gravel is used where a smaller, uniform stone is desired.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network holds roughly 12 to 16 tons of gravel, though exact capacity varies by truck and material density. Cost per truckload depends on the tonnage, material type, and delivery distance; many Petersburg-area projects order by the ton to match their needs. Hello Gravel can match you with local haulers and provide a per-ton or per-truck estimate for your address.
For a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 3 inches of compacted gravel, you need about 11.1 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 15 to 16 tons. If you want a sturdier driveway, plan for a base plus 3 to 4 inches of wearing layer, which can push the total to about 20 to 25 tons depending on compaction. Use our material calculator or get a custom estimate from Hello Gravel to match your exact width and desired depth.
A 20-foot long driveway that is 10 feet wide at 3 inches depth needs about 1.85 cubic yards, or roughly 2.5 to 3 tons. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, a small residential driveway will usually meet that minimum. If you plan deeper base layers or wider driveways, order more; contact us for a tailored calculation and delivery date.
You can place gravel directly on compacted dirt for small, temporary projects, but it will tend to mix with soil, sink, and rut over time. For longer-lasting results in Petersburg's climate, remove vegetation, compact the subgrade, and add a geotextile fabric or a 2-4 inch layer of crusher run as a base before a top layer of gravel. Proper preparation reduces maintenance and keeps gravel from migrating into the soil.
A 50 lb bag contains about 0.5 cubic feet of gravel, which covers roughly 6 square feet at a 1-inch depth. At a 2-inch depth it covers about 3 square feet, and at 3 inches about 2 square feet. For larger Petersburg landscaping jobs it is usually more economical to order by the ton rather than bags.
No natural gravel will harden exactly like concrete, but certain materials compact and bind more firmly than loose stone. Crusher run compacts into a stable surface, and products labeled as polymeric or stabilizing gravel include binders that lock stones together for a harder finish. For true pavement-strength results in Petersburg you should use concrete, asphalt, or a properly engineered stabilized aggregate system.
Lighter-colored gravels reflect more sunlight and help keep surfaces slightly cooler, which can be beneficial in West Texas heat. Color choice also depends on your home's style: tan and buff gravels match traditional West Texas architecture, while grays and blues suit modern landscaping. Since materials are regionally sourced, you can request color preferences in the Order Notes and we will try to match local availability.
Three inches of gravel can be enough for footpaths and light-use garden areas, but it is minimal for driveways. For a driveway in Petersburg, aim for 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel on top of a well-prepared base to prevent rutting and to handle vehicle loads. Adding a compacted crushed-stone base under the top layer improves longevity and reduces maintenance.
Avoid pea gravel for driveways, steep slopes, wheelchair ramps, or high-traffic vehicle areas because it shifts and migrates under load. It is also not ideal where you need a smooth, stable surface for bicycles or wheeled carts. Pea gravel is great for play areas, drainage zones, and decorative beds where you want a soft, rounded look.
Buying bulk by the ton and having it delivered is usually the most cost-effective approach for most Petersburg projects, especially since Hello Gravel's minimum is 3 tons and many deliveries include local hauling. Avoid buying many small bags from retail stores unless you only need a tiny amount. Compare quotes from local suppliers on our platform to find the best price for the material and delivery combined.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
