Why Thorndale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Thorndale has a city population of 3,290 and sits within a metro area of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.29% annually and a climate defined by 228/year sunny days and 35.18 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners here face a mix of prolonged sun and periodic heavy rain that affects landscaping and drainage. The area's Hardiness Zone is 8b, which supports drought-tolerant plantings but also requires durable groundcover and paths. That steady, measured growth is driving modest residential projects—driveways, patios, edging, and drainage fixes—that need reliable aggregates. Homeowners choose quality gravel to manage runoff, stabilize soils, and create low-maintenance surfaces that hold up to Thorndale's conditions. Clear quantities, predictable delivery, and materials matched to local geology matter when planning these jobs. Gravel performs well in Thorndale because its angular particles shed water while locking together to reduce erosion after storms and resisting migration under sun-baked soils. For permeable driveways and French drains, washed 3/4" or similarly crushed gravel provides good drainage and compaction; for decorative beds, pea gravel minimizes dust and reflects heat. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source materials that reflect regional geology, coordinates delivery via professional dump truck fleets, and provides transparent pricing and scheduling so your project stays on track.Popular Projects in Thorndale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Thorndale gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Thorndale.
In the Thorndale (West Texas) area in 2025, expect delivered bulk gravel prices roughly in the range of $20 to $45 per ton depending on gravel type, delivery distance, and supplier. Specialty colors or screened/washed products are toward the higher end, and minimum-order or short-haul deliveries can lower per-ton cost. For an exact price, check your zip code at checkout or contact our team for a local quote.
For Thorndale's hot, semi-arid conditions, crushed limestone or crushed rock (3/4" crushed stone) are usually the best choices because they compact well and resist movement under heat. Pea gravel looks nice but tends to shift and is less stable for vehicle traffic, so use it only for walkways or decorative areas. Add a compacted base layer and consider a top layer with fines to help lock the surface in place.
Clay-heavy subsoils common in parts of West Texas hold water and reduce drainage, which can cause gravel to rut or wash out faster. To protect gravel, add a compacted granular base, install a geotextile fabric if needed, and provide surface drainage (crowning or swales) so water runs off the gravel surface. Proper base depth and occasional maintenance greatly increase gravel longevity on clay soils.
Using a common estimate of 1.4 tons per cubic yard, you will need about: 100 sq ft - 0.9 tons (2"), 1.3 tons (3"), 1.7 tons (4"); 500 sq ft - 4.3 tons (2"), 6.5 tons (3"), 8.6 tons (4"); 1,000 sq ft - 8.6 tons (2"), 13.0 tons (3"), 17.3 tons (4"). These are approximate; soil compaction and gravel density vary, so we recommend using our material calculator or contacting our team for a site-specific estimate.
In small Texas towns near Thorndale, installation costs vary with base prep, drainage work, and access, but expect contractor-installed gravel driveways to run roughly $1.50 to $3.50 per sq ft for basic installs. Factors raising cost include heavy clay removal, geotextile fabric, additional base depth, and grading; these can push costs higher. Get on-site estimates from local contractors for accurate pricing.
A well-built gravel section with a compacted sub-base of larger stone and a 3/4" crushed surface will comfortably handle passenger vehicles and occasional ranch trucks. For frequent heavy truck traffic or constant deliveries, increase base thickness to 8"-12", use larger base rock, and consider geotextile fabric to prevent mixing with subgrade. Proper compaction and drainage are essential to keep the surface stable under load.
Expect light maintenance (raking, clearing weeds, minor regrading) yearly and more substantial regrading or replenishing every 1-3 years in our area, depending on traffic and storms. Replenishing typically costs only for material and delivery—often $20 to $45 per ton delivered—plus any contractor fees if you hire help. Occasional machine regrading can run a few hundred dollars for small driveways; DIY maintenance cuts labor costs.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, which is standard in many rural areas around Thorndale. Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks from local suppliers within about 50 miles; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and should be requested in checkout notes. Because materials are regionally sourced, color and texture may vary based on local quarries.
Permitting and HOA rules vary: some cities and HOAs restrict loose gravel or require specific drainage measures. Check Thorndale city or Milam County codes and any HOA covenants before installing a driveway, and confirm setbacks, drainage, and permitted surface types. If you have questions, contact our team and we can point you to local resources.
Gravel is the most cost-effective upfront surfacing option and provides the best on-site drainage because it is permeable, which helps in West Texas storms. Asphalt and concrete cost more up front and create more impervious surface, requiring stronger drainage solutions; pavers are often the most expensive but offer a finished look and long life. If budget and drainage are priorities around Thorndale, gravel is usually the best practical choice.
Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, expect color and particle shape that reflect East/West Texas geology near Thorndale; lighter limestone is common and helps reflect heat. Local rainfall intensity, clay subsoils, and seasonal washouts mean you should plan for good drainage, proper base depth, and periodic topping. If you are unsure which gravel type suits your project, use our aggregate quiz or call our team for tailored recommendations.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
