Why Sterling City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sterling City, with a city population of 1,170, sits in a steady-growth region expanding at a growth rate of 0.70% annually. That modest but consistent growth points to steady construction and landscaping demand—think home maintenance, yard renovations, and incremental additions rather than large-scale building booms. As part of a broader metro area with a population of 2.5+ million, local suppliers and haul fleets are accessible enough to support a variety of residential projects. In a hardiness zone of 8b with 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.80 inches, material choices must handle strong sun exposure, periodic heavy rain, and local soil behavior. Homeowners benefit from bulk materials that improve drainage, stabilize grades, and lower long-term upkeep: base materials for durable surfaces, clean fill and topsoil for planting, and surface covers to retain moisture. Quality, regionally sourced materials reduce rework and help projects perform over time in Sterling City's conditions.Popular Projects in Sterling City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sterling City Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sterling City.
Homeowners and contractors in Sterling City typically choose from a range of aggregates to meet drainage, durability, and appearance needs. Think of materials as a group (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) and pick based on function — good drainage and load-bearing for driveways, finer materials for leveling or planting beds, and coarser mixes for erosion control. Local sourcing means material color and texture may vary, so request photos or ask a supplier question before ordering.
Costs vary by material type, distance from the supplier, and the season, so exact prices change. Expect pricing to reflect per-ton or per-cubic-yard rates plus any rural delivery fees; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers a quote tool so you can get transparent pricing and see delivery charges for your zip code. Contact our team or use the online checkout to get an accurate estimate for your specific project.
West Texas conditions — hot summers, strong winds, and often thin, rocky soils — increase dust, speed drying, and can make fine materials more prone to movement. Good surface and subsurface drainage, proper compaction, and selecting materials suited to arid, windy conditions will extend performance. For long-lasting results, consider stabilizing layers, geotextile underlayment, and designs that shed water away from the project area.
Avoid the hottest, windiest parts of summer when dust and rapid drying make compaction and finishing harder. Fall, late winter, and early spring are often the most practical windows for earthwork and aggregate deliveries in West Texas, but contractor availability can vary. Order and schedule deliveries in advance, especially before spring when demand typically increases.
Many suppliers serve West Texas towns, but availability depends on the specific material and your zip code; Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and shows availability in checkout. Typical lead times are at least 2 business days for standard delivery, with next-day delivery possible for orders placed before noon CST at an extra fee. Remote or very rural locations can add time, so check lead times when you request a quote.
Permit and HOA rules vary by jurisdiction and project type; small repairs or resurfacing may not require a permit, but changing driveway location, altering drainage, or cutting curb may. Check with Sterling City, Sterling County, and any HOA before starting major work to avoid fines or required rework. When in doubt, get local guidance early in project planning.
Common errors include underestimating depth and compaction needs, ignoring drainage, ordering the wrong texture for the application, and failing to account for truck access. Avoid these by measuring area carefully, allowing for compaction when ordering extra material, planning vehicle turning and drop locations, and consulting with suppliers or Hello Gravel for material recommendations. A short site photo and clear access notes at checkout can help avoid delivery-day surprises.
Coarser, angular materials generally improve drainage and resist washout better than fine, rounded materials, while finer materials or compacted mixes can reduce dust but may be more prone to erosion without proper anchoring. Combining layers — a stable base with a finer top layer where needed — often balances drainage and dust control. For slope or wash areas consider erosion blankets, vegetation, or engineered mixes and discuss options with your supplier based on local rainfall patterns.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and drivers can often end-dump; tailgate spreading may be requested but is performed at the driver's discretion. Access issues that commonly affect delivery include narrow gates, low-hanging wires, soft or steep driveways, and limited turning radius for large trucks. Note access constraints in your order, provide a clear drop zone, and consider arranging a stable staging area to avoid extra fees or failed deliveries.
Measure the length and width of the area, multiply by the desired depth to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Account for compaction and settling by adding 10 to 30 percent extra depending on material and installation method; Hello Gravel's material calculator can convert cubic yards to tons for the specific material you choose. If you are unsure about depth or compaction factors, request guidance when you get a quote to avoid underordering.
Standard delivery is 2 or more business days, with a next-day delivery option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and you can choose your preferred delivery date in checkout. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and works with local haulers to manage deliveries; contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change an order since modifications are easier before dispatch but not always guaranteed.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. 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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
