Gravel: Built For West Texas Drainage • Same-Day Gravel Delivery Options Available
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Stratford Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Stratford, West Texas, has a population of 2,100 and is part of a steadily growing region with a 0.40% annual growth rate. With 228 sunny days a year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local yards and streets face cycles of strong sun and occasional heavy rains. That climate creates steady demand for durable, well-draining aggregate for driveways, walkways, base layers, and erosion control. Homeowners here want materials that resist washout during storms, reduce dust during dry spells, and stabilize sandy or loamy soils common in the area. Projects range from small landscaping updates to contractor-scale resurfacing, so Stratford residents value consistent sizing, clean stone free of excess fines, and reliable delivery timing to keep projects on schedule.Popular Projects in Stratford This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Stratford gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Stratford.
A typical tri-axle dump truck load in West Texas holds about 8 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 10 to 16 tons, depending on material). Delivered to rural Stratford, expect a wide range, commonly around $300 to $900 for a full truckload depending on material type, local supplier rates, and hauling distance. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and can provide a specific delivered quote after checking your zip code and material choice.
"Texas black" usually refers to darker crushed stone or decorative rock used for landscaping and accent areas. Availability in Stratford depends on local suppliers and regional geology; it may be offered by some nearby quarries. You can note color preferences at checkout and our team will check local inventory and let you know if dark black rock is available for bulk delivery.
Two inches is only suitable as a thin surface layer over a well-built base, not as a standalone driveway. For a residential driveway in West Texas we recommend a compacted base of 6 to 8 inches of road base or crusher-run, with a 2 to 4 inch surface layer of 3/4" crushed stone, depending on vehicle use. Good compaction and drainage are important in the region's dry climate to prevent rutting and migration.
Gravel does not truly harden like concrete, but some mixes compact very firmly. Crusher-run or road base (a mix of crushed stone and fines) compacts into a dense, stable surface, and stabilized gravels or polymer-bound aggregates can create a semi-rigid surface for parking. If you need a paved, permanent surface like concrete, discuss options with a contractor; for a firm aggregate surface ask for crusher-run or a stabilized product and plan for mechanical compaction.
Start with the area: for example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway is 200 sq ft. At 2 inches depth that is about 0.9 cubic yards, at 4 inches about 1.8 cubic yards, and at 6 inches about 2.7 cubic yards. Multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard to estimate tons, and expect small orders delivered to Stratford to commonly cost between $100 and $400 depending on material and distance; use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price and to check the 3-ton minimum requirement.
River rock is smooth and round, great for water features and low-maintenance beds; pea gravel is small and rounded, good for play areas and paths but it shifts under heavy traffic. Crushed gravel is angular and locks together when compacted, making it the best choice for driveways and other high-traffic areas. In Stratford's climate, crushed stone is usually preferred where stability and compaction are needed.
A 50 lb bag of pea gravel typically covers roughly 0.5 to 1 square foot at 1 inch depth, so it is practical for small accents or minor repairs. Choose bags for very small decorative areas or when you only need a few bags; order bulk by the ton for driveways, larger patios, or projects over about 20 to 30 square feet. Remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum for bulk delivery in many areas, so bulk is most cost-effective for medium to large jobs.
Size names vary by region, but 3/4" crushed stone, #57, and similar labels are commonly used for driveway surfaces; base material is usually called crusher-run, road base, or a 2" minus mix that includes fines. For a stable driveway, order 6 to 8 inches of crusher-run or road base for the subbase, then 2 to 4 inches of 3/4" crushed stone for the wearing surface. Check with your local supplier or Hello Gravel if you need a specific gradation like "G1" before placing the order.
"Type 5" can refer to specific gradations or TxDOT classes used for base and shoulder material, and naming can vary by supplier. Generally, materials labeled for base or Type 5 are intended for load-bearing layers and can work well for driveway subbases and drainage in West Texas, but confirm the exact gradation with the supplier. If you need a surface that resists dust and erosion, pair a proper base with a durable surface stone like 3/4" crushed rock.
Avoid pea gravel for driveways, steep slopes, and high-traffic walkways because it shifts and is hard to compact. Good alternatives include crushed gravel or crusher-run for driveways, decomposed granite stabilized with a binder for firm paths, and 3/4" crushed stone for surfaces that need traction. For Stratford projects, choose angular crushed stone when you need stability and easy maintenance.

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.
