Why Smithville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Smithville, Texas, is a growing community of 8,640 residents located within a metro region exceeding 2.5+ million people.

Smithville’s climate—228 sunny days each year, 37.75 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b—creates specific landscape needs: materials that shed water during storms, resist sun bleaching, and perform well in soils that can range from sandy to compacted clays.

Frequently Asked Questions - Smithville gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Smithville.
Costs vary by material and depth, but expect material plus delivery for a typical single-car driveway (about 480 sq ft at a 3" topcoat) to run roughly $300 to $700. Tailgate spreading, if available from a driver or a hired crew, usually adds $150 to $400 depending on access and time. Ask Hello Gravel for a local quote—we show per-ton pricing and delivery fees up front, and keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons.
In West Texas, crushed limestone and caliche-based gravels are the most common choices because they compact well and are readily available locally. River rock is sold but is used more for decorative beds and drainage areas because it can shift on driveways. Crushed granite is available in some parts but tends to be pricier and less common locally.
Homeowners often underestimate settling and compaction, ordering only the topcoat amount and not enough base material; many forget to add 10% to 20% extra for waste and settling. Another frequent mistake is mixing tons and cubic yards when ordering—confirm units with your supplier. Also remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum when planning small projects.
Same-week delivery is often possible in and around Smithville if suppliers and trucks are available, but it depends on local stock and season. Hello Gravel’s standard lead time is 2+ business days, and we offer next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Most suppliers and our platform enforce a 3-ton minimum order; some local suppliers may accept smaller loads for extra delivery charges.
Contractors in hot, dry climates commonly use stabilizer grids (rigid or flexible cellular systems), edge restraints, and polymeric or resin-based binders for high-traffic areas. A compacted angular base (crushed rock) with a geotextile fabric underlayment is also a widely used approach to reduce movement and dust. Choose products rated for UV exposure and temperature swings and ask a pro for a site-specific recommendation.
If your site has runoff or slope, contractors typically specify a thicker, well-compacted base (4" to 6" or more) of larger crushed stone and a 2" to 3" top layer of finer gravel to resist washout. Use geotextile fabric and install swales or a perimeter drain on sloped lots to manage water. For flat, well-drained yards, a 2" to 3" topcoat over a compacted base is usually sufficient.
Installed costs vary with prep work and access; expect a gravel patio to cost about $3 to $7 per sq ft installed, depending on base prep and edging. Gravel driveways typically range from $2 to $6 per sq ft installed for a topcoat and basic base, with prices higher if extensive grading, drainage, or stabilization is required. These are local averages—get a detailed Hello Gravel quote for a precise number.
As a rule of thumb, a 3" layer over 100 sq ft equals about 0.93 cubic yards, which is roughly 1.3 tons using a common density of 1.4 tons per cubic yard. A 4" layer is about 1.73 tons per 100 sq ft and a 6" layer is about 2.6 tons per 100 sq ft. Different gravels vary slightly in weight, but depth and compaction have a bigger impact than type on tonnage needed.
Rules vary by neighborhood and county; some HOAs and local ordinances may specify color, stone size, or require a paved apron at the road. Smithville homeowners should check their local city or county building office and any HOA covenants before ordering. If you want help, Hello Gravel can note project restrictions in your order and recommend compliant materials.
In Smithville’s climate, routine maintenance usually includes regrading and re-compacting once or twice a year after heavy rains, and adding 1" to 2" of top-up gravel every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic. Remove weeds annually, refresh edging as needed, and address ruts or low spots promptly to prevent erosion. Regular maintenance keeps dust down and extends the life of the surface.
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.
