Gravel: Built For West Texas Drainage • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Available Locally
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.
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.

Why Van Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Van is a West Texas city with a population of 4,580, located within a metro area of 2.3+ million people that is growing at an annual rate of 2.50%. The local semi-arid climate—about 228 sunny days per year and roughly 34.00 inches of annual rainfall—plus a hardiness zone of 8b, drives demand for outdoor work: driveways, erosion-control grading, and low-water landscaping. As development continues, homeowners and contractors need dependable aggregates for base layers, drainage trenches, and decorative surfacing. Gravel is a practical choice here because it drains quickly, compacts under traffic, and stays low-maintenance in strong sun. Consistent gradation, local sourcing, and reliable delivery are often top priorities so projects in Van keep moving without costly delays.Popular Projects in Van This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Van gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Van.
For 100 square feet in Van, TX, plan on roughly 0.9 tons at 2 inches, 1.3 tons at 3 inches, and 1.7 tons at 4 inches. These are estimates for crushed gravel; always round up and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order for most deliveries.
Hello Gravel typically schedules standard deliveries in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle); tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion but is not guaranteed.
Material prices in West Texas commonly range from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on type (basic gravel at the low end, specialty stone at the high end). Delivery fees vary by distance and job size; some Van-area orders qualify for free delivery, while others may incur $50 to $150 or more for hauling—get an online quote to see exact pricing for your address.
For Van’s hot climate and clay soils, angular crushed materials such as crushed limestone or crushed granite usually perform best because they lock together and resist movement. Pea gravel and river rock look nice but tend to shift and route on clay subgrades, so they are better for low-traffic paths or decorative areas rather than primary driveways.
On Van’s clay-rich subgrade, first excavate and compact the subgrade, then install a geotextile fabric to separate soil from stone. Add a compacted crushed-stone base (typically 3 to 4 inches) and a top wearing layer of the chosen gravel; include edging and create a crown for drainage to reduce washout during heavy rains.
Do a light grading and releveling once a year or after major storms to fix ruts and low spots, and add a top-up of new gravel every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic. Keep drainage clear, control weeds, and consider dust-control treatments if heat and fines create excessive dust.
Upfront, gravel is usually the least expensive option for Van homeowners, often costing a fraction of asphalt or concrete. Gravel requires more regular maintenance and may need periodic top-ups, while asphalt and concrete have higher installation costs but generally longer useful service life if properly installed and maintained.
Permit requirements vary by property location; small residential gravel driveways inside Van city limits may not require a permit, but check with Van city offices and any HOA rules before starting work. Many contractors will handle permitting as part of the job if required, so confirm responsibilities when hiring.

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.
