Why Thompsons Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Thompsons is a small but active community with a population of 232 and a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually. That steady, incremental expansion suggests consistent demand for small- to mid-scale projects—yard renovations, driveways, patios, and light construction—rather than sudden booms. In Thompsons’s climate and geography, with 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.80 inches, and hardiness zone 8b, materials must balance sun resistance, water management, and plant support. Homeowners are increasingly choosing low-water landscapes, durable hardscapes, and erosion-control measures, so access to quality, regionally sourced bulk supplies—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and blended aggregates—matters: particle size, organic content, and gradation all affect drainage, compaction, and long-term performance. Thompsons’s sunny conditions and moderate rainfall create specific challenges: soils and mulches dry faster under frequent sun, while periodic rain events test drainage and base stability. These local patterns mean homeowners should prioritize materials that manage runoff, resist UV breakdown, and compact predictably. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers familiar with West Texas geology and offering tools—material calculators, scheduling options, and expert guidance—to match material blends and delivery timing to Thompsons projects and site conditions.Popular Projects in Thompsons This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Thompsons Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Thompsons.
For Thompsons' hot, dry climate and rural lots, homeowners often choose durable, well-draining aggregates such as compactable crushed stone blends or coarse gravel. The right choice depends on traffic, desired look, and budget; mixed blends work well for driveways while finer materials may be better for leveling or pathways. Ask about local mixes since regional suppliers often stock blends tailored to nearby soils and climate.
Start by matching material properties to your project's needs: drainage, compaction, finish appearance, and load-bearing capacity. Consider local soil type and slope—materials that improve drainage and compact well are usually best in West Texas conditions. If unsure, request guidance from suppliers or use Hello Gravel's material quiz and calculator to compare options.
In hot, dry areas with sandy soils, look for materials that compact and resist migration, such as angular crushed stone blends and stabilized gravel mixes. Materials with good interlock reduce shifting and dust; adding a geotextile underlayer can improve stability on loose sand. Regional sourcing means mixes may vary, so ask suppliers how a product has performed locally.
Late spring through early fall is convenient for many outdoor projects, but avoid the hottest mid-summer afternoons for unloading and spreading. Standard delivery lead times are typically 2+ business days, so plan ahead and consider weather windows or seasonal busy periods. For urgent jobs, next-day delivery may be available if ordered before noon CST, sometimes for an extra fee.
Many suppliers and haulers serving Thompsons deliver to rural properties, but access, road conditions, and driveway width can affect service. Provide detailed delivery notes and photos when ordering so drivers and suppliers can confirm access and truck size. For very remote or difficult access, additional fees or smaller equipment may be needed.
Check with Thompsons' city offices or the county planning and public works departments for permits related to grading, erosion control, floodplain limits, and right-of-way deliveries. Large fills near property lines, waterways, or septic systems often trigger local rules. When in doubt, contact local authorities before ordering and include permit numbers in order notes if required.
Prices can rise during peak construction seasons and after severe weather events that increase local demand. Availability may also fluctuate because suppliers source regionally, so lead times can lengthen during busy months. Booking ahead and comparing delivery windows helps lock in pricing and material availability.
Typical lead time for standard delivery is 2+ business days, though this varies with supplier schedules and seasonal demand. Next-day delivery may be possible for orders placed before noon CST, sometimes at an extra charge. Larger or specialized orders can require several days to a week, so confirm timing when you place the order.
Yes, contractors often receive volume discounts, account pricing, or prioritized scheduling from local suppliers based on repeat business and order size. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers who may offer contractor pricing—discuss account options directly with suppliers or our sales team. For one-off homeowner jobs, minimums (typically 3 tons) and standard pricing usually apply.
Use a simple volume calculation (length x width x depth) to estimate cubic yards or tons, and factor in compaction and waste—most projects require 5-10% extra for overlap and grading. Hello Gravel provides an online material calculator to convert measurements into tons and suggest order sizes. If you're unsure, send project dimensions and photos to our team for help.
Clear the dump area of vehicles, low branches, and obstructions and mark the desired drop location; confirm truck access and turning room. Note any underground utilities or soft spots and communicate special instructions in your order notes. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, but remember drivers may only perform it at their discretion and only if it can be done safely.
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.
