Why Sandia Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sandia is a small but growing West Texas city with a city population of 3,380 and a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually. Located in a region that sees 228 sunny days per year and receives 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, Sandia sits in hardiness zone 8b and combines dry stretches with occasional heavy showers. That climate and local geography drive steady demand for durable, low-maintenance materials that handle both sun and runoff. Homeowners and contractors in Sandia look for aggregates that resist erosion, improve drainage, and stand up to hot, sunny conditions while fitting xeriscape and low-water landscaping trends in the broader 2.5+ million metro market. Gravel is a practical match for Sandia’s environment: it promotes rapid surface drainage during episodic rains, stabilizes dusty soils, reduces irrigation needs, and reflects local geology so color and texture vary by supplier. For driveways, walkways, erosion control, and layered drainage beds, gravel offers an affordable, long-lasting option. Hello Gravel connects Sandia homeowners with local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, provides clear pricing and scheduling, and offers standard 2+ business day delivery with next-day options for orders placed before noon CST, helping you get the right material on the right schedule.Popular Projects in Sandia This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sandia gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sandia.
Hello Gravel partners with local quarries and haul fleets to deliver gravel to Sandia and other West Texas towns. Use our website to check your zip code, view available materials and pricing, and schedule delivery; you can also call our team for supplier details and delivery windows. For installation services, ask us to connect you with local contractors, or request quotes from multiple haulers through the platform to compare rates.
For driveways and vehicle pads in Sandia's dry climate, 3/4" crushed limestone or crushed stone is a practical top course because it compacts well and resists washout. Angular crushed rock (not round river rock) is better for traction and stability, while decomposed granite can be used for paths but may need a stabilizer in high-traffic areas. Avoid loose, round river rock for driveways since it shifts and creates ruts in hot, dry conditions.
Caliche and clay layers common in West Texas can hold water near the surface and cause settling or heaving, so proper subgrade preparation is important before placing gravel. For driveways, remove unstable topsoil, install a compacted base of crushed stone or recycled aggregate, and consider a geotextile fabric to separate soil from base material. In erosion-prone areas, add drainage swales or edges to direct water away and use larger edge stones to hold the gravel in place.
Local prices vary with material, distance, and truck access, but typical ranges in small West Texas towns are about $25 to $60 per ton for common gravels. That translates roughly to $35 to $80 per cubic yard delivered, and installed surface costs of about $0.50 to $1.50 per square foot depending on depth and preparation. Final quotes depend on your exact location, material choice, and whether you need spreading or base work; request a quote through Hello Gravel for precise pricing.
As a rule of thumb, for every 100 square feet: 2" of gravel is about 0.9 tons, 3" is about 1.3 tons, and 4" is about 1.7 tons, assuming typical crushed stone density. Driveways usually need 4" or more of compacted top material plus a 6" or deeper compacted base for heavier loads, so estimate accordingly. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team to get a site-specific estimate.
Requirements vary locally, so check with your city, county office, or HOA before installing a gravel driveway in Sandia. Some rural counties have rules about driveway entrances, drainage, or dust control, and certain HOAs may restrict visible gravel types or colors. If you need help, our customer service team can point you to local contacts and suggest gravel options that typically meet common regulations.
Recycled aggregates and crushed concrete are sometimes available and cost-effective for base layers in Sandia-area projects, where they provide a stable, compactable subbase. They generally perform well under a compacted base but may contain fines that are dusty or displace under heavy use if used as the top surface. For finished surfaces, virgin crushed stone or limestone is usually a better long-term choice for appearance and durability in hot, dry West Texas conditions.
Plan on light maintenance annually or after heavy rains: regrading to smooth ruts, adding 1/2 to 1 inch of new gravel every 1-3 years in higher-use areas, and fixing low spots where water pools. Dust and surface movement are common in arid climates, so periodic compaction and edging repairs help keep the surface stable. For larger repairs or regrading, schedule a delivery of fresh gravel through Hello Gravel and ask about tailgate spreading options at checkout.
You can order online, check material availability for Sandia, and choose a delivery date; our minimum order is 3 tons and most deliveries arrive by dump truck (typically tri-axle). Standard delivery time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST and an additional fee. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion, and exact delivery placement depends on site access and safety.
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.
