Why Van Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Van is a small but active community of 4,580 residents, and its steady 0.70% annual growth suggests modest but reliable demand for home improvement and new construction projects. That steady growth, combined with a regional metro area population of 2.5+ million, means suppliers and contractors increasingly serve both infill and expansion work—driveways, yards, repairs, and outdoor living upgrades. Van’s climate (hardiness zone 8b) with 228 sunny days a year and about 34.80 inches of rain produces clear material needs: durable, UV-resistant surface layers to stand up to sun and heat, plus soils, aggregates, and mulches chosen for good drainage and erosion control during heavy downpours. Homeowners here are often prioritizing drought-tolerant plantings, permeable surfaces to manage runoff, and robust base materials to reduce maintenance. Quality bulk materials—gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and stone—help projects last longer and perform better in Van’s conditions.Popular Projects in Van This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Van Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Van.
Deliveries typically come from local suppliers in the West Texas area and may travel anywhere from a few miles up to roughly 30-60 miles depending on availability. Availability and distance affect price and lead time, so check your zip code to see nearby suppliers. Keep in mind trucks are usually tri-axle dump trucks and orders must meet the minimum (3 tons).
Standard delivery is scheduled 2 or more business days after ordering, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Peak demand is often in spring and fall for landscaping and contractor projects, which can extend lead times; heavy rain or storms can also cause delays. We recommend booking early for preferred delivery dates during busy months.
Start by matching the material to function: choose stable, angular aggregates for a compacted driveway base, finer or more level materials for patios, and freely draining mixes for drainage trenches. In Van's West Texas climate consider local soil, water flow, and freeze-thaw is limited but heavy rain events matter; regional sourcing means appearance and texture can vary. Use our material calculator or contact our team for help matching a material to your project and budget.
Delivered costs vary widely by material, distance, season, and volume; a rough ballpark for delivered bulk materials in many areas is commonly from about $25 to $100+ per cubic yard. Dirt, sand, and different grades of stone will fall at different points in that range, and larger orders typically lower the unit price. For an accurate estimate, request a quote for your Van zip code and project size.
Yes—some neighborhoods, HOAs, or municipal codes may restrict colors, surface types, or require permits for certain driveway or hardscape changes. Before ordering, check any HOA guidelines and the City of Van for local regulations and required permits to avoid rework. You can also add order notes for color or appearance preferences and consult our team if you need documentation for approvals.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the depth in inches, then use our online calculator to convert that volume into cubic yards and approximate tons. Note that ton-to-cubic-yard conversions vary by material and moisture content; our calculator and sales team can give a more precise number. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons, so round up if your calculated need is close to that threshold.
Drivers may be able to perform basic tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety, site access, and truck capability. You should request spreading at checkout and be prepared for the driver to assess whether it can be done safely on arrival. For guaranteed spreading or finished grading, consider hiring a local landscaper or contractor.
Common practices include clearing vegetation and loose soil, grading for proper slope and drainage, installing a geotextile fabric if needed, and placing materials in 2- to 4-inch lifts followed by compaction. Contractors often use plate compactors or rollers and check for uniform compaction across the area to avoid settling. Exact depths and compaction specs depend on the project type and traffic load, so discuss project specifics with a contractor or our sales team.
Dump trucks generally need clear overhead and lateral clearance and a stable surface to park on; typical delivery trucks are tri-axle vehicles that require roughly 12 to 15 feet of maneuvering space. Expect curb or driveway edges to be at risk if access is tight, and tell us about gates, low wires, or narrow lanes when ordering. If the truck cannot safely reach the drop spot, material may be dumped at the closest safe location and moved by hand or small equipment.
Contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible and provide photos and a description of the issue so we can begin resolving it. We will work with the local supplier and hauler to assess the situation and follow our standard resolution process; consult our refund policy for details. Acting promptly makes it easier to accommodate adjustments or replacements.
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.
