Why Sterling City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sterling City (city population: 1,170) sits in West Texas within a broader regional market (metro area population: 2.5+ million) and is shaped by a semi-arid climate that directly affects landscaping and site work. With a steady growth rate of 0.68% annually, modest development and maintenance projects—driveway repairs, erosion control, and xeriscape conversions—are common. The area averages 263/year sunny days and receives just 20.24 inches of rain annually, so homeowners prioritize materials that handle heat, shed water during occasional storms, and reduce long-term upkeep. Local geology and hardiness zone 8a influence gravel color, texture, and compaction, so picking the right size and mix helps prevent rutting, minimize dust, and deliver durable surfaces for both DIY projects and contractor work. Gravel performs well in Sterling City’s conditions because it promotes drainage, stabilizes surfaces, and endures intense sun without breaking down like some organic mulches. Angular crushed mixes and well-graded blends are especially useful for driveways, pathways, French drains, and dry creek beds that must manage the region’s rare but heavy runoff. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to local suppliers and haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery (standard in 2+ business days with next-day options), and guidance on selecting sizes and quantities so materials reflect Sterling City’s geology and perform reliably on your property.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.
In West Texas around Sterling City you’ll most often see crushed limestone and caliche-based gravels, plus imported pea gravel and river rock for decorative uses. Color tends to be tan, buff, and light gray reflecting local geology, so appearance and texture can vary by supplier.
A good rule is to calculate volume by area and desired depth: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, a 10x20 ft single-car driveway at 4 inches deep needs about 2.5 cubic yards, which is roughly 3 to 4 tons depending on material density—use our material calculator or request a quote to get an exact tonnage.
Pea gravel is small, rounded, and good for walkways and decorative mulch because it packs loosely and is comfortable underfoot, while river rock is larger and better for drainage beds or accent features. River rock is less common locally and often trucked in, which can raise cost and delivery time for Sterling City projects.
Hello Gravel serves customers nationwide but delivery depends on zip code and supplier availability for Sterling City; check your zip on the site or contact our team. Standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST; minimum order is 3 tons and trucks are contracted local haulers.
Ordering bulk by the ton with dump-truck delivery is usually the most economical option compared with buying many small bags at retail. You can also save by choosing a locally sourced material (shorter haul) and coordinating orders with neighbors to meet the 3-ton minimum and reduce per-ton freight cost.
A 50 lb bag of pea gravel is about 0.5 cubic feet. At a 1 inch depth it covers roughly 6 square feet, and at a 2 inch depth about 3 square feet, so bags are best for very small projects or touch-ups in Sterling City.
For West Texas conditions we recommend 2 to 3 inches for decorative paths, 3 to 4 inches over a compacted base for patios, and 4 to 6 inches for driveways with a proper base layer and compaction. Local soil, traffic load, and drainage needs can change those recommendations, so check with our team if you have heavy vehicles or poor drainage.
Yes. West Texas heat can affect delivery schedules and crews in summer, and brief heavy rains can make rural driveways muddy and restrict truck access. Plan ahead for busy spring and fall seasons and note site access and soft spots in your order notes to avoid delays.
Occasionally private sellers or local quarries sell materials, but availability varies and there may be permit or haul restrictions. Hello Gravel sources from trusted local suppliers and haulers, which simplifies logistics and compliance—contact us and we’ll check local options for you.
Because materials are regionally sourced and natural, color, size, and texture will vary and may not exactly match images. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes and our team will do our best to match them, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and site conditions upon arrival. We do not guarantee spreading services, so plan on some additional labor or renting equipment if you need precise grading.
Gravel itself does not deteriorate, but it will settle, migrate, and thin over time, especially where there is vehicle traffic or runoff. Expect to top up or regrade spots every few years depending on use, and install edging and a proper base to extend life and reduce maintenance.
Give your delivery address or zip, project dimensions (length x width x desired depth), preferred material type, and any site-access notes (narrow driveway, overhead wires, gate). Also tell us if you want tailgate spreading and your preferred delivery dates so we can find the best local supplier and hauler for your job.
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.
