Why Tornillo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tornillo is a small but growing West Texas community (city population 3,267) situated in a sunny, semi-arid region. With an annual growth rate of 0.80% and 228 sunny days each year, homeowners and small contractors are increasingly investing in low-maintenance landscaping, driveway upgrades, and erosion control around new and existing properties. Local projects benefit from materials that work with the climate—hot summers, strong sun, and seasonal rain events—so buyers look for aggregates that improve drainage, reduce dust, and stand up to regular use. Gravel is a go-to choice for many Tornillo homeowners because it is versatile, affordable, and effective for common needs like driveways, walkways, and base layers for patios and sheds. In Tornillo’s environment—with 34.25 inches of annual rainfall and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b—properly selected gravel helps shed water away from foundations, prevents muddy patches after storms, and limits soil erosion on slopes. Coarse crushed gravel and 3/4" to 1-1/2" sizes are particularly useful for drainage trenches and driveways, while pea gravel works well for pathways and decorative areas that get heavy sun exposure. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional haulers so you can order the right gravel, choose a delivery date, and get materials dropped by dump truck (minimum order 3 tons). Standard delivery requires 2 business days, with next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST; tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion.Popular Projects in Tornillo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tornillo gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Tornillo.
Gravel prices in Tornillo typically range by type from about $25 to $60 per ton, with crushed stone and crusher run near the lower end and decorative pea gravel toward the higher end. Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance from the El Paso area; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days (next-day available before noon CST for a fee). For an exact quote, check your zip code on our site or contact our sales team with your project details.
Common choices in West Texas are crusher run (a mix of fines and crushed rock) for base layers and 3/4" crushed stone as a wearing surface; pea gravel and river rock are used for decorative areas. Local supplies often reflect West Texas geology, so you may see limestone or caliche-based gravels that compact well for driveways but can vary in color and texture.
Hot, dry conditions in Tornillo reduce vegetation and can make fine gravels dusty, while heavy seasonal storms and flash flooding can wash unsecured material downhill. Good drainage, proper grading, and installing swales or French drains are important to protect gravel surfaces and prevent washouts in storm events.
For a two-car driveway we recommend a 6" crushed-stone base plus 2" wearing gravel; a 20'x20' driveway at 6" base uses roughly 10-12 tons of material, depending on stone density. A 10'x10' patio at 2" depth typically requires 1-2 tons, and a French drain trench generally needs 0.5 to 1 ton of drain rock per 10 linear feet depending on trench width and depth. These are estimates; use our material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific quantity.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers serving Tornillo and the El Paso metro, and many offer recycled crushed materials and reclaimed rock from local demolition or quarry screening. Suppliers commonly offer bulk discounts on larger orders; keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery and pricing depend on availability and distance from the supplier.
In Tornillo's climate, gravel surfaces need periodic maintenance like regrading after storms, removing weeds, and adding 1-2 inches of fresh gravel every 3-5 years depending on traffic. Properly installed driveways with a compacted base can last many years, but expect higher re-rocking and regrading frequency in wash-prone areas.
Regulations vary: Tornillo is in the El Paso region and some parcels are subject to county zoning or HOA rules that may limit front-yard materials or require permits. Before ordering, check El Paso County rules and any HOA covenants for your property; if in doubt, our sales team can help point you to local resources.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and is flexible for drainage, but requires more ongoing maintenance than asphalt or concrete. Asphalt is midrange in cost and life (15-25 years with maintenance), while concrete costs more upfront and lasts longer but can be prone to cracking in extreme heat without proper joints. Choose gravel if you want lower initial cost and easier drainage; choose asphalt or concrete if you prefer lower maintenance and a smoother surface.
Prevent washouts by grading the site to shed water away from the surface, installing swales and French drains where runoff concentrates, using edge restraints and larger rock in channels, and compacting the base properly. Consider geotextile fabric under the base to separate fine soils from gravel and reduce erosion during heavy flows.
Yes: compacting a well-graded crushed-stone base is strongly recommended for driveways in Tornillo to create a stable platform. Geotextile fabric is useful where sandy or caliche soils are present to prevent contamination and improve drainage, and resin or other stabilizers can reduce dust and movement for high-use areas but add cost. Ask our team for recommendations based on your soil, traffic, and budget.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
