Materials Available for Delivery
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.

Why Universal City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Universal City has a population of 18,750 and is part of a broader metro area of 2.5+ million residents. Its modest, steady growth of 0.70% annually usually means continual, predictable demand for home improvements and local construction rather than sharp booms—so contractors and homeowners should expect a steady need for supplies over time. With about 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.80 inches in hardiness zone 8b, local projects must balance intense sun exposure with occasional heavy rains. That combination drives interest in low-maintenance landscaping, permeable hardscapes, and resilient base materials: think of products that control dust, shed water quickly, resist UV breakdown, and support drought-tolerant plantings. Quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, blended soils, and stone—matter here because they form the functional layers that protect yards, driveways, and foundations in this climate.Popular Projects in Universal City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Universal City Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Universal City.
Homeowners and contractors in Universal City commonly order bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, grading, drainage projects, and garden beds. These materials cover a wide range of uses from base layers and fill to decorative top layers and erosion control.
Universal City sits in the West Texas climate where hot summers and occasional heavy rains influence material performance. Choose materials that handle local conditions—well-draining aggregates for wet periods, stable, compactable base materials for heavy loads, and topsoils that suit local plantings—while remembering regional sourcing can change texture and color.
Estimate material needs by measuring the area (length x width) and desired depth, then convert to cubic yards or tons using a material calculator or our online tools. Typical depths: 2-3 inches for decorative surfaces, 4-6 inches for paths, and 6-8 inches for driveways; always order a little extra to allow for compaction and grading.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of about 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days in many areas, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by location, and free delivery may apply in some zones; check your zip code at checkout for exact pricing and available dates.
Clear the drop area of vehicles, furniture, and debris and mark the preferred drop spot with flags or cones so the driver can see it from the street. Protect driveways and lawns where possible, make sure gates and access points are wide enough for a dump truck, and call 811 for utility locates before digging or major grading.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if it can be done safely, and you can request this service at checkout. This service is not guaranteed, and for larger or precision spreading jobs you should plan to rent equipment or hire a contractor.
Regulations vary—small changes like adding a few yards of decorative material often need no permit, but enlarging a driveway, changing hardscape footprints, or altering drainage can require city permits or HOA approval. Check with Universal City municipal offices and your HOA before starting work to avoid setbacks.
Spring and fall are the busiest booking periods, so lead times and prices can be higher as demand increases; summer heat can affect installation timing and worker comfort, while rainy periods can delay deliveries or make sites inaccessible. Plan ahead for peak seasons and consider off-peak scheduling for easier availability and often better pricing.
Start by defining the project's primary need—drainage, load-bearing, or planting—and choose a material that matches that function: well-graded aggregates provide both drainage and compaction for bases, loose sands drain well but shift under heavy loads, and dirt/topsoil is best for plantings. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact our sales team for guidance tailored to your project in Universal City.
Local prices reflect regional sourcing and hauling costs, so the best way to get an accurate comparison is to enter your zip code on our site or request a quote through Hello Gravel; prices are shown per ton or per cubic yard where available. Our checkout provides transparent pricing and delivery options, and our team can help adjust quantities or materials to meet your budget.
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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
