Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.

Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings.

Why Shiner Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shiner is a small city of 4,300 that sits within a broader metro region of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually, demand for home improvements and modest new construction tends to be consistent rather than boom-driven — homeowners and local contractors steadily update driveways, yards, and outdoor living spaces. Shiner's climate (228 sunny days annually and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall, in hardiness zone 8b) means materials must perform under strong sun exposure while also managing periodic rain and runoff. That combination drives interest in durable base materials, well-draining soils, UV-resistant mulches, and aggregates that reduce maintenance. For homeowners, accessible bulk supplies like gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and mulch are central to long-lasting driveways, erosion control, patio bases, and garden beds; quality materials help reduce rework and stand up to local conditions over time.Popular Projects in Shiner This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shiner Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shiner.
Homeowners typically order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone, topsoil, and mulch for projects around Shiner. These materials cover a wide range of uses from base layers and drainage to planting beds and finishing surfaces. Regional suppliers may offer local variations in color and texture, so expect some natural differences.
Start by defining the project's purpose—drainage, compaction, aesthetic surface, or planting bed—and pick a material that matches that need. Consider drainage requirements, how much compaction is needed, and the look you want; local suppliers can recommend options that perform well in the Shiner area. If you’re unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance.
Bulk materials are used for driveways, patios, walkways, drainage trenches, erosion control, raised beds, and basic site grading. Homeowners and contractors use them for both functional bases and decorative surfaces. Pick materials based on load, drainage, and maintenance needs for each project.
Measure the length and width of the area and decide on the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards with the formula: (square feet x depth in feet) / 27. Different materials have different densities, so convert cubic yards to tons if your supplier prices by weight, or use our online calculator for a quick estimate. When in doubt, add a small waste factor for compaction and grading.
Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can select a preferred delivery date at checkout and we’ll confirm scheduling with the local hauler. Keep in mind weather and site access can affect timing, so order early for time-sensitive projects.
Deliveries are usually made with tri-axle dump trucks or similar commercial trucks and Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Rural or hard-to-access addresses may incur additional fees, and some jobs may require larger trucks or multiple loads. Provide clear access instructions and note any overhead wires, gates, or narrow drives at checkout.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout. The driver will assess whether spreading can be done safely on arrival, but there are no guarantees of spreading or finished grading. If you need full spreading and grading, consider hiring a local contractor.
Permit and setback rules can vary depending on the city and county, especially for major driveway changes, curb cuts, or large grading work. Check with Shiner city hall or Lavaca County before you begin and obtain any required permits. Hello Gravel can deliver materials but does not handle permitting or installation permits on your behalf.
Hot summers and occasional heavy rain can affect delivery windows and jobsite conditions; wet or muddy sites may delay placement and make spreading difficult. Schedule deliveries for dry weather when possible, and plan projects outside of peak storm seasons to reduce delays and settling issues. Also expect regional seasonal demand to influence availability.
Local soils can vary; common concerns include clay soils that hold water and slopes that increase erosion risk. For areas needing drainage or erosion control choose coarser, permeable materials for base layers; for load-bearing surfaces use materials that compact well. Consult local suppliers about the typical soils in the Shiner area and match material choice to drainage and slope conditions.
Contractors usually itemize materials and labor separately: materials are billed by cubic yard or ton, while labor is quoted by hour or by the job. Labor rates vary with project complexity, access, and site prep needs, so get written estimates that break out both parts. Comparing a few local bids will help you understand the local market for your project.
Contact Hello Gravel’s customer service as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. If there’s an issue on delivery, report it promptly and we’ll work with the supplier and hauler to find a solution; refer to our policies for specifics on refunds or adjustments. Keep photos and notes of any problems to help speed up resolution.
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.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
