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.
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.
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.

Why Van Horn Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Van Horn is a small but active community of 2,344 residents experiencing steady growth at about 0.70% annually. That modest growth translates into a steady, predictable demand for home improvement and outdoor projects rather than a sudden construction boom—think incremental driveway repairs, yard upgrades, new garden beds, and occasional additions. With 228 sunny days each year, 34.80 inches of annual rainfall, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, local climate drives specific material needs: durable base aggregates for driveways and pads, well-draining soils and sands for landscaping beds, and shading- or heat-tolerant mulches and surfacing that resist fading and breakdown. Regional sourcing means colors and textures will reflect local geology, so homeowners benefit from choosing quality bulk materials that match both functional needs and neighborhood aesthetics. Van Horn’s combination of sun, moderate rainfall, and West Texas soils creates practical challenges—UV exposure and heat-driven expansion, occasional intense rain events that cause runoff, and soils that may compact or shift with seasonal moisture changes. These conditions make proper selection and placement of bulk materials important for long-term performance: good drainage, correct gradation, and sufficient depth reduce settling and erosion, while top layers can protect underlying grades from rapid deterioration. Hello Gravel helps local homeowners navigate those trade-offs by connecting them with regionally sourced options, clear quantity estimates, and delivery scheduling so projects use the right materials for Van Horn’s climate and terrain.Popular Projects in Van Horn This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Van Horn Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Van Horn.
For driveways and walkways in Van Horn, choose a material that compacts well and handles occasional heavy loads, such as crushed stone blends or compactable mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. Consider drainage and slope; coarser mixes shed water better while finer mixes are easier to grade. Regional variations mean color and texture will reflect West Texas geology, so order a small sample if appearance matters.
Pick materials based on slope, drainage needs, and vegetation plans: coarser material resists washout on steep slopes while finer material is better for leveling and planting beds. In arid West Texas, materials that allow quick drainage and resist wind displacement are helpful. Consult our calculator and team to estimate quantities and recommended gradation for your project.
Yes. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, the color, texture, and rock composition you receive will reflect West Texas geology. That affects appearance and sometimes performance, so note color preferences at checkout and request a small delivery or sample if you need to verify look or consistency before a large order.
Plan at least 2 business days for standard delivery, which is our general timeline, and consider booking earlier for large orders or busy seasons. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, but availability can vary in more remote areas like Van Horn. Confirm access details and any site constraints when you place the order to avoid delays.
Delivery is by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle); make sure there is adequate turn radius, overhead clearance, and a stable area where trucks can dump. If curbside or street blocking is needed, check local rules or HOA requirements and get any necessary permits. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver’s discretion for safety reasons.
Our minimum order is 3 tons. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or rule-of-thumb conversions (for many materials 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on density) to estimate quantities, and add 10-15% for compaction, settling, and waste. If you’re unsure, contact our sales team with project dimensions for a quick recommendation.
Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications may be limited once a local supplier and hauler are scheduled. For full details see our order and cancellation policies or call customer support.
West Texas’ hot, dry climate and occasional heavy rain events influence material performance: dry conditions can make fine materials dusty and harder to compact, while rare heavy rains can cause runoff and washout. Schedule installations for cooler parts of the day, plan for dust control or watering when needed, and choose materials suited for quick drainage where runoff is a concern.
You must have permission to receive materials where they will be dumped. If you plan to have a truck dump on a public street, check with local authorities about permits or restrictions. For deliveries to a leased property or a site that requires access agreements, confirm permissions in advance to avoid refusal at delivery.
Natural materials can vary in color and texture due to regional sourcing; if the material is not what you expected contact customer service promptly. We will work with you and the local supplier to resolve the issue and advise on next steps per our policies. Keep photos and delivery details handy to help speed up resolution.
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.
