Why Socorro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Socorro is a small but strategically placed community with a city population of 34 and access to a larger market in a metro area of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate that averages 230 sunny days and 33.00 inches of rain each year, local homeowners balance sun-drenched landscaping needs with occasional heavy rainfall. In this context, demand for practical, low-maintenance materials is common—whether for driveways, pathways, erosion control, or low-water landscapes. Quality aggregates help stabilize soils, improve drainage, and reduce long-term maintenance, which is why many homeowners in Socorro choose gravel for both functional and aesthetic projects. Regional sourcing also matters here: materials that reflect local geology perform better under the area’s sun, seasonal rains, and in Hardiness Zone 8b conditions.Popular Projects in Socorro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Socorro gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Socorro.
Yes—Hello Gravel delivers gravel to Socorro, TX (check your zip code on our site). We require a 3-ton minimum and typically deliver by tri-axle dump truck; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST. Delivered cost depends on gravel type, quantity, and distance from the supplier; in West Texas prices commonly vary, so the fastest way to get an exact price is to request a quote on our site or call our team.
It depends on the width and depth you want. For a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway (200 sq ft): 3" depth = about 1.85 cubic yards (≈2.5 tons), 4" depth = about 2.47 cubic yards (≈3.3 tons), and 6" depth = about 3.7 cubic yards (≈5.0 tons). Use those examples to scale to your actual width and preferred depth.
For a driveway in Socorro's climate and soils, 2 inches is generally too shallow and will pump and move under vehicle traffic. We recommend a compacted base and 4" to 6" of gravel for a residential driveway, while 2" to 3" may be okay for pedestrian walkways or decorative areas. Always prepare and compact the subgrade first for best performance.
Base preparation is important: a crushed-stone base (3/4" minus or similar) and compaction are recommended for driveways, and geotextile fabric helps where the subgrade is soft or prone to drainage issues. Hello Gravel can deliver crushed stone, sand, and geotextile fabric where available from local suppliers, but we do not guarantee installation—add these materials to your order or ask our team for recommendations. If you need full installation, we can help connect you with local contractors.
You can place gravel directly on dirt for low-use decorative areas, but for driveways and higher-traffic surfaces some excavation, removal of topsoil, grading, and compaction are normally required. Socorro and the El Paso region often have sandy soils and areas of caliche; addressing soft spots and ensuring proper drainage reduces future settling and washouts. When in doubt, plan for at least a compacted subgrade and a crushed-stone base before the finish gravel layer.
Prices in Socorro depend on local availability, but pea gravel is often slightly more expensive per ton than common crushed stone because of its rounded shape and finishing. For driveways, crushed stone (3/4" or 3/4"-1") is usually best for interlock and compaction; pea gravel is popular for patios, pathways, and play areas where appearance and drainage matter more than load-bearing. Choose based on function: stability and compaction for driveways, comfort and look for patios and walkways.
One 50 lb bag of pea gravel is roughly 0.5 cubic feet. To cover 100 sq ft at 2" depth (0.167 ft) you need about 16.7 cubic feet, which is roughly 33 bags (16.7 / 0.5). For different depths, calculate volume (area x depth in feet) and divide by 0.5 cu ft per 50 lb bag.
Hello Gravel focuses on sourcing and delivering materials; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but compaction, grading, and edge-restraint installation are typically handled by local contractors. Costs for those services vary by scope, site access, and soil conditions, so we recommend getting contractor quotes for labor and installation. Our team can help refer local contractors or provide material-only pricing so you can compare combined estimates.
Costs vary by material choice, depth, and how much site prep is needed. For a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 4" depth you might need about 3.3 tons of finish gravel; delivered material prices in West Texas can vary, so material cost might range from a few hundred dollars while labor, grading, and compaction can add several hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on site conditions. The most accurate way to get a total price is to request a bundled quote that includes delivery and local contractor bids for prep and compaction.
Yes—you can get a local material quote through Hello Gravel by entering your zip code or contacting our team. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST; same-week installation depends on contractor availability in Socorro. If you need help finding installers, ask our team and we can provide referrals and coordinate material delivery timing.
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.
