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 Taylor Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Taylor has a population of 18,540 and sits inside a fast-growing West Texas region with a metro area population of 2.5+ million and a growth rate of 2.00% annually. The local climate averages 228 sunny days per year with 36.10 inches of annual rainfall and falls in hardiness zone 8b, creating conditions that favor drought-tolerant landscapes but still demand reliable drainage and surface stability. That combination of steady population growth and active residential projects—driveway repairs, patio installs, pathway updates—drives regular demand for quality aggregates. Homeowners choose well-graded gravel to prevent erosion, improve water runoff, reduce maintenance, and give a finished look that stands up to Taylor’s sun and seasonal rains. Gravel is especially well-suited to Taylor’s environment: angular crushed stone and compactable mixes help shed water during sudden storms while resisting displacement under frequent sun-driven expansion and contraction. For driveways and high-traffic areas, deeper sections with a compacted base reduce rutting; for walkways and garden beds, a thinner layer improves drainage and suppresses weeds. Hello Gravel connects Taylor homeowners to locally sourced gravel and reliable dump-truck delivery, offers quantity calculators and material guidance, and schedules deliveries to match your project timeline so you get the right material when you need it.Popular Projects in Taylor This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Taylor gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Taylor.
In Taylor and the surrounding West Texas area you’ll most often see crushed limestone, caliche-based gravels, and river rock/gravel blends sourced locally. Appearance and size vary by supplier, so color can range from tan to gray to brown depending on local geology. Tell us your project and we can recommend the best local option.
A common guideline: a 10 ft by 20 ft single-car driveway at 3 inches deep needs about 2.5 to 3 tons of gravel, which matches Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum. For deeper base layers or wider driveways you’ll need more; use our material calculator or give us your dimensions for a quick estimate. Always allow a little extra for compaction and grading.
Prices vary by material and local demand, but expect roughly $35 to $70 per ton in the Taylor area, and a typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons. That means a single dump truck load often falls in the $350 to $840 range before taxes and delivery fees. For an exact total, request a quote so we can factor in material type, delivery distance, and your requested service level.
"Texas black gravel" usually refers to dark-colored crushed stone or slag, sometimes basalt or colored crushed granite, that retailers market for decorative uses. Availability in Taylor depends on local suppliers and regional sourcing; darker options may be less common than limestone but can be sourced on request. Add color preferences in your order notes and we’ll try to match local availability.
For weed suppression choose larger washed gravel (about 3/4" to 1") over fine screenings and pair it with a quality weed barrier fabric. Crushed limestone compacts well but can include fines that allow seeds to take root; smoother river rock sheds soil and can reduce weeds when used with fabric and proper edging. Regular maintenance and a good base layer will dramatically reduce weed growth.
Large industrial projects like the Samsung semiconductor campus increase local demand for aggregates, which can tighten short-term availability and raise prices for some materials. That said, regional suppliers often scale up capacity, and Hello Gravel works with multiple local partners to find supply and provide competitive quotes. If you have a time-sensitive project, order early or request expedited delivery to lock in materials.
Yes, we coordinate delivery with local suppliers and contracted dump trucks that typically use tri-axle trucks. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, next-day is possible for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and the driver will place the load where safe and accessible. Make sure the drop area is accessible, mark the spot, and note overhead obstructions in your order notes.
In Taylor you’ll generally see prices similar to central Texas rates, roughly $35 to $70 per ton depending on whether it’s crushed stone, river rock, or specialty material. Coastal or big-metro areas may have different freight and supplier costs; local projects and seasonal demand can also shift prices. For an accurate, up-to-date per-ton price request a quote through Hello Gravel.
No two loads of natural gravel will be identical; due to regional sourcing color, texture, and sizing can vary from photos. We recommend adding color preferences to your order notes and asking for supplier photos if a close match matters for your project. If a material looks substantially different than described, contact customer service and we will work to resolve it.
Drivers may be able to provide tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on the truck, access, and safety at the site. Request spreading in checkout notes and the driver will assess feasibility on arrival; for consistent results plan to hire a local contractor for grading and compaction. We always recommend preparing the area and having the necessary equipment ready if spreading is required.
Clear vegetation and debris from the drop zone, mark the exact location with cones or flags, and ensure there is at least 12 to 14 ft of vertical clearance for the truck and no tight turns that prevent access. Consider a compacted aggregate base or geotextile fabric to improve drainage over West Texas clay or caliche soils. If you expect delivery onto a public street or need a permit, check local regulations before delivery day.

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.
