Road Base

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.
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.

Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
3/8″ Crushed Stone

Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.

Why Tornillo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tornillo has a population of 3,267 and sits within a broader region serving a metro area population of 2.5+ million. A steady growth rate of 0.70% annually points to consistent, incremental demand for home improvements and small-to-medium construction projects rather than a sudden building boom. With 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.80 inches in hardiness zone 8b, local homeowners and builders need materials that handle strong solar exposure, occasional heavy showers, and seasons that favor water-wise landscaping. That combination makes durable, regionally sourced bulk supplies—like well-graded base materials, drainage-friendly aggregates, and soil blends for plant establishment—especially important for long-term performance and low-maintenance yards. Tornillo’s climate and soils create practical challenges: high sun and temperature swings increase UV and heat stress, while periodic rainfall requires good drainage and erosion control. That means material selection should balance permeability, stability, and water-retention where needed. For homeowners, the implication is to choose aggregates and soils that reduce dust, resist washout, and support drought-tolerant plantings. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers who understand these conditions, offering calculators and delivery scheduling so you get the right volumes and the right regional materials for lasting results.Popular Projects in Tornillo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tornillo Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Tornillo.
A standard tri-axle dump truck usually carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 15 tons, depending on material). Cost varies by material type, local supplier rates, delivery distance, and current availability, so prices can differ from one order to the next. Use our site to get an accurate quote for your zip code (79853) or contact our team for a tailored estimate.
Buying bulk material (by the cubic yard or ton) is almost always cheaper per unit for medium and large jobs, while bags are convenient for small, immediate needs or hard-to-reach spots. Consider the size of your project, storage space, and handling—bags reduce mess and waste but add cost. If you expect to use 3 tons or more, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel usually offers the best value.
Coverage depends on area and desired depth: one cubic yard typically covers about 100 square feet at a 3-inch depth and about 67 square feet at a 4.5-inch depth. For deeper layers or compacted base material you should plan for more volume to account for compaction. Use our material calculator or contact our team to translate your area and depth into cubic yards and tons.
Spreading costs depend on the amount of material, site accessibility, slope, surface prep, and whether you hire labor or ask the driver to tailgate spread. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. For larger or more precise spreading jobs, budget for professional labor and factor in cleanup and site prep time.
Premium materials tend to be cleaner, more uniformly graded, and may have more attractive color or texture, which matters for visible landscaping and finishing surfaces. For functional uses like basic drainage, backfill, or temporary driveways, standard graded materials are often sufficient and more cost-effective. Choose premium when appearance, uniform compaction, or specific performance is important for your project.
Choose based on function: use angular, compactable blends for driveways, coarser, well-draining mixes for drainage areas, and screened, finer materials for planting beds and top dressing. Regional sourcing means the exact look and texture will reflect local geology, so request samples or add color preferences in your order notes. If you are unsure, our sales team can recommend options that balance appearance, performance, and budget.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area, then convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet divided by 27). Account for compaction and waste by adding 5 to 15 percent extra depending on material and project. You can use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with measurements for a quick estimate.
Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days for scheduling, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are performed by contracted trucking partners and you will receive scheduling confirmation with an approximate delivery window. Choose your preferred date at checkout, and contact us if you need to change the delivery before the load is dispatched.
Access depends on driveway strength, overhead clearances, gate widths, turning space, and any weight restrictions; truck drivers need a stable, level place to dump. Note special access instructions or upload photos at checkout to help the hauler plan the drop-off. If access is limited, consider alternative drop locations or smaller loads and communicate with our team ahead of delivery.
Materials reflect regional sourcing and natural variation in color, size, and texture, so the delivered product may not exactly match online photos. If you have specific color or texture preferences, add them to the Order Notes and contact customer service before the order is processed. If there is a significant issue with quality, reach out to our support team promptly so we can work with the supplier to resolve it.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
