Why Sweetwater Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sweetwater has a city population of 10,000 and a metro area population of 10,824. The area is growing at a steady rate of 0.70% annually and sits in hardiness zone 7b, with a semi-arid climate that sees 243 sunny days per year and about 22.70 inches of annual rainfall. That mix of sun, limited rainfall, and gradual growth creates steady local demand for durable, low-maintenance exterior materials. Homeowners and contractors in Sweetwater frequently need aggregates for driveways, drainage, erosion control, and xeriscaping as new projects and routine repairs continue. Quality gravel reduces upkeep, improves stormwater management during occasional heavy downpours, and provides a stable base for paths and patios—making reliable sourcing and predictable delivery essential for project planning.Popular Projects in Sweetwater This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sweetwater gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sweetwater.
Delivered gravel prices in Sweetwater vary by type, supplier, and delivery distance, but expect roughly $25 to $60 per ton for common driveway gravels. A typical 2-car driveway (about 12 ft by 36 ft) at 4-6 inches depth needs roughly 8 to 12 tons, so material cost is commonly in the $200 to $700 range before any spreading or stabilization fees. Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons and delivery timing or fees may change those totals.
Crushed limestone or #57 crushed stone are often best for Sweetwater driveways because they compact well and shed water, while crusher run (also called road base) is good as a compacted base. Pea gravel is attractive but can shift and track more in dry, windy West Texas conditions, so use it only where movement is acceptable or over a stabilized base. Choose material based on use (driveway vs patio) and ask for local samples since regional suppliers vary.
Many local suppliers focus on material delivery and do not provide full installation, though drivers can sometimes perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout. For full installation or grading, most homeowners hire local contractors or landscapers in Sweetwater; Hello Gravel can connect you with suppliers and you can request a list of local installers or get a quote for spreading if available. Always confirm spreading availability and any additional fees before the truck is dispatched.
For typical Sweetwater soils, plan on a 4-inch compacted gravel surface for light passenger vehicles and 6 inches or more (including a compacted base layer) for heavier trucks or poor subgrade. A 12 ft x 36 ft driveway at 4 inches needs about 8 tons of gravel; at 6 inches it needs about 12 tons (using the rule of thumb that one cubic yard equals about 1.4 tons). If your yard has soft spots, consider thicker base layers or geotextile stabilization before placing gravel.
In hot, dry summers gravel itself is durable but loose fines can blow and dust increases; occasional watering or using a small percentage of fines can reduce dust. During heavy rains gravel can wash into ruts or off slopes, so proper grading, edge restraints, and a compacted base help reduce erosion. For wind-prone areas, consider angular crushed stone that locks together better or stabilization products to limit movement.
Expect routine maintenance such as light grading and reshaping every 1 to 3 years, and adding 1 to 2 inches of fresh material every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic and weather. Small maintenance jobs (grading or spot refills) can cost $50 to $300 locally if you hire equipment for a few hours; full recharges for an 8–12 ton driveway typically run a few hundred dollars for material and delivery. Regular grading and fixing low spots promptly will reduce long-term costs.
Upfront, gravel is the least expensive option at roughly $1 to $3 per sq ft installed, asphalt runs about $3 to $7 per sq ft, and poured concrete typically $6 to $12 per sq ft. Gravel has lower initial cost but higher maintenance; asphalt and concrete cost more up front but require less frequent topping or grading. In Sweetwater's mild freeze-thaw climate, asphalt and concrete perform well, but gravel can be the best value if you want the lowest price and are okay with periodic maintenance.
Permit and HOA rules vary by location: some rural Nolan County properties do not require a permit for a driveway, while city limits or private subdivisions in Sweetwater may have rules on driveway material, width, or setbacks. Always check with the City of Sweetwater planning or public works office and review any HOA covenants before ordering or installing material. If you need help, contact Hello Gravel and we can remind you to confirm local rules before delivery.
Common stabilization options available near Sweetwater include geotextile fabric underlayment, plastic cellular grids, and surface binders or resin systems; geotextile is the lowest-cost option for stabilizing subgrade. Ballpark costs: geotextile fabric material often runs about $0.10 to $0.50 per sq ft installed, cellular grid systems commonly cost $0.50 to $3 per sq ft for materials (installed totals often $1 to $6 per sq ft), and resin or bound surfaces are typically $4 to $10+ per sq ft. Prices vary with product choice and installation, so get local quotes for accurate totals.
The main local challenges are dust and high winds in spring, and sudden heavy rainstorms that can make sites muddy and trucks difficult to access. Schedule delivery for late spring through early fall when the ground is dry and winds are calmer, and avoid days with forecasted storms; Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST if you need faster timing. Also allow 2+ business days for standard scheduling and note that drivers assess site safety on arrival.
As a practical rule, one cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.4 tons and will cover about 81 sq ft at 3 inches depth. To estimate tons: multiply area in square feet by desired depth in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to convert to tons. Hello Gravel's online calculator can do this for you, and our sales team can review your numbers if you provide driveway dimensions.
Clear a path at least as wide as a tri-axle dump truck (about 10 to 12 ft), remove low-hanging branches and secure any pets; note that most deliveries are made by contracted haulers, not Hello Gravel-branded trucks. Leave delivery notes at checkout for the driver (preferred drop location, obstacles), confirm there is enough turnaround space or consider a back-dump location, and plan to compact or rake material after delivery or arrange for spreading if the driver agrees. If access is tight, tell our team ahead of time so we can match you with an appropriate hauler.
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.
