Why Rising Star Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rising Star homeowners live in a small but active community — a city population of 1,410 — that benefits from steady regional momentum. A growth rate of 0.70% annually signals gradual, reliable development rather than a construction boom; that means steady demand for repair, landscaping, and incremental additions rather than large-scale subdivision work. Local climate and geography — about 228/year sunny days, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8a — create a mix of needs: materials must resist sun exposure and occasional heavy rains, promote good drainage, and support drought-tolerant planting in yard projects. Across the broader metro area (2.5+ million), residential expansion and infrastructure upgrades drive interest in bulk materials for driveways, grading, drainage, erosion control, and foundation prep. Using quality, locally sourced bulk materials helps homeowners get consistent performance, proper compaction, and longer-lasting results in this environment.Popular Projects in Rising Star This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rising Star Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rising Star.
Choose materials based on the job: stability and drainage for driveways, surface appearance for landscaping, and permeability for drainage channels. Common choices include gravel, sand, dirt, and stone as groups rather than a single product; many homeowners combine materials (base, bedding, top layer) for best results. Discuss your goals and budget with a supplier to match material size and finish to your project.
Start by matching function to size: larger, angular material gives strength for bases; finer, rounded material compacts smoothly for paths and pavers. Texture affects appearance and drainage, so ask for samples and photos to set expectations—regional sourcing means color and texture can vary. When in doubt, choose conservative options that prioritize drainage and stability for Rising Star's climate.
Measure the area (length x width) and desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons using a calculator or supplier tool. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of about 3 tons; for many home projects that covers small patches or a short walkway. If you are unsure, order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction, grading, and waste.
Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Materials are delivered by local haulers using dump trucks (often tri-axle), and you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout. Confirmation details and an estimated delivery window will be provided once your order is scheduled.
Yes, rural deliveries can have access limits: low-hanging power lines, narrow driveways, soft ground, steep slopes, or long driveways may affect truck access. Mark utilities, clear obstacles, and provide a stable turnaround or a drop-off zone to reduce delays. Drivers may refuse unsafe drops or limit spreading; plan the drop location in advance and add notes at checkout if there are special instructions.
Aim for spring or fall when temperatures are moderate and ground conditions are stable; avoid deliveries during heavy rain or immediately after freezes when soil is soft and compaction is poor. In hot summer months, plan for earlier start times to reduce dust and avoid heat stress on crews. Also consider seasonal planting or paving windows for landscaping or driveway projects to ensure materials perform as expected.
Major cost factors include haul distance from local quarries, the material type and quantity, truck access or offloading difficulty, and any optional services like tailgate spreading. Labor for site prep, grading, and compaction can also add to total cost. Ask for a clear quote that separates material, delivery, and optional services so you can compare options.
Permit needs vary by county, city, and HOA rules; small backyard landscaping often has no permit requirement, while driveway changes, large grading, or stormwater work may require approval. Contact Rising Star town offices, the county permitting authority, or your HOA before starting major work to check rules and setback requirements. When in doubt, get written confirmation to avoid rework or fines.
Contractors typically recommend a layered approach: proper base material and compaction for driveways, a stable subgrade, and a finished surface sized for intended use. For landscaping and drainage, they stress grading away from structures, using permeable materials where practical, and matching material selection to local soil and rainfall patterns. Get a local contractor or supplier to review your site; small adjustments in depth, slope, or stone size will improve long-term performance.
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.
