Why University Place Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
University Place is a growing West Texas community with a city population of 993,588 and a metro area population of 2.7+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually and a semi-arid climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rain annually, local homeowners face unique landscaping and drainage challenges. The region’s hardiness zone of 8b and sunny, occasionally heavy-rain patterns increase demand for durable, well-draining materials. Gravel is often chosen for driveways, French drains, patios, and erosion control because it handles runoff, reduces maintenance, and complements drought-tolerant plantings—making it a practical choice for University Place properties where long-term performance matters. Gravel suited to University Place typically offers angular particles that lock together for stability and clear void space for water flow, which helps with the region’s episodic rainfall and sun-driven soil drying. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional dump truck delivery so you get regionally sourced material that reflects local geology. Order online, choose a delivery date, and expect standard delivery in 2+ business days or a next-day option when available before noon CST. Our team can help you pick the right gravel and calculate quantities so your project is ready to perform in this climate.Popular Projects in University Place This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - University Place gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in University Place.
In West Texas near University Place, crushed limestone commonly runs about $20 to $40 per ton, pea gravel $30 to $60 per ton, crushed granite $30 to $60 per ton, and decomposed granite $45 to $75 per ton. Many orders include delivery or have modest flat fees, but costs vary by distance and truck access; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and lists standard delivery at 2+ business days with next-day available for a fee.
For hot, dry West Texas conditions, crushed limestone and crushed granite are solid choices for driveways because they lock together when compacted and resist migration. Pea gravel and decomposed granite work well for walkways, decorative areas, and drainage beds but may shift more under vehicle traffic and need periodic topping in arid climates.
Hello Gravel typically schedules standard delivery in 2+ business days and offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. If you need contractor installation, expect scheduling lead times of about 1 to 3 weeks depending on season and local demand; always confirm exact timing with your supplier or contractor.
A durable 2-car driveway in West Texas usually has a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone (crusher run) topped with 2 to 3 inches of surface gravel, for a total of about 6 to 9 inches. For a typical 20 ft by 20 ft two-car area at 6 inches deep you need roughly 7.4 cubic yards or about 10 to 11 tons; add 10-15% extra for compaction and waste and choose heavier base materials where drainage or clay is present.
Calculate cubic yards first: (length ft x width ft x depth ft) / 27 = cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to convert cubic yards to tons (approximate for most gravels). For example, a 24 ft x 24 ft area at 0.5 ft depth = (576 x 0.5)/27 = 10.67 cu yd, which is about 15 tons; round up 10-15% for compaction and waste.
In the hot, sunny climate of University Place, expect to regrade and add surface gravel every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and rainfall; heavier vehicle use shortens intervals. UV and heat can break down fines (like decomposed granite) over time, while occasional heavy rains can cause washouts, so periodic edging, releveling and topping are normal maintenance tasks.
Permit and HOA rules vary, so check the City of University Place or your county building department and review your HOA covenants before you start. In many West Texas neighborhoods a permit is not required for replacing like-for-like driveway materials, but HOAs often have rules about material type, color, and edging that you should confirm first.
Gravel is the lowest upfront cost option, typically around $1 to $3 per sq ft for material and DIY placement, while concrete usually runs $6 to $15 per sq ft and pavers $10 to $30 per sq ft installed. Long term, gravel requires more maintenance and periodic topping, concrete has higher upfront cost but lower routine maintenance, and pavers offer durability with occasional resetting or joint maintenance.
Effective options include geotextile fabric under the gravel to prevent mixing with subgrade, gravel grids or cellular confinement systems to lock material in place, and perimeter edging to reduce washout. Polymer binders and stabilizers can reduce migration on flatter areas but should be chosen based on local supplier recommendations and expected vehicle traffic; for steep slopes combine fabric plus a grid for best results.
Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers serving West Texas—check your zip code to see available materials and pricing, remembering the 3-ton minimum. Many local contractors and haulers will offer hauling-only or spreading-only services; request tailgate spreading at checkout but note drivers perform spreading at their discretion and no spreading is guaranteed.
Use the cubic yard formula (L x W x depth in ft / 27) then convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.4. Example estimates: a 3-car driveway (approx 30 ft x 30 ft) at 0.5 ft depth is about 16.7 cu yd or ~23 tons; a 10 ft x 10 ft patio at 0.25 ft (3 inches) depth is about 0.93 cu yd or ~1.3 tons. Always order 10-15% extra to allow for compaction and settling.
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.
