Gravel: Built For Sunny West Texas • Next-Day Gravel Delivery In Venus
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 Venus Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Venus, West Texas, is a growing community of 14,370 residents experiencing steady expansion at a rate of 2.12% annually. With 228 sunny days each year, 35.75 inches of rain annually, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, local yards and building sites face a mix of strong sun, drying conditions, and occasional heavy rainfall. That combination drives steady demand for low-maintenance surfacing and reliable drainage as new homes, driveways, and landscaping projects keep pace with metro growth. Homeowners often seek clear guidance on aggregate selection and delivery logistics so projects move on schedule through seasonal windows; gravel is frequently chosen because it provides permeability, stability, and cost-effectiveness for common residential and light commercial needs in the area.Popular Projects in Venus This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Venus gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Venus.
Delivered prices vary by supplier and distance, but expect approximate ranges: crushed limestone $30-55 per ton, pea gravel $35-70 per ton, and river rock $50-90 per ton. These are estimates based on West Texas pricing and can change with local availability, truck access, and load size. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel to see exact local quotes and delivery fees.
For Venus conditions, 3/4" crushed limestone or crushed rock with fines is a good choice because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel looks nice but can shift on clay and with heavy rain; use it over a compacted base with edging. In low spots prone to flash flooding, choose larger angular rock as a drainage layer and slope the driveway for runoff.
Use this rule: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. For crushed limestone (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard), 100 sq ft at 2 inches needs roughly 0.9 ton, at 4 inches about 1.7 tons, and at 6 inches about 2.6 tons. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so you may need to order more than the exact amount for small areas.
Most local suppliers that serve Venus will deliver within roughly 30-50 miles, but exact radii vary by quarry and hauler. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees depend on distance, truck type, and site access; check your zip code for precise pricing.
Clear vegetation, grade for positive drainage, and compact subgrade before adding a geotextile fabric to separate clay soils from aggregate. Install a compacted base layer of larger rock (4-6 inches) topped with 2-3 inches of fines or 3/4" crushed stone, and add sturdy edge restraints like steel, concrete curbs, or timbers to keep gravel contained. In Venus's clay soils, good compaction and fabric help prevent mixing and rutting after heavy rain.
Expect light grading once a year and more frequent touch-ups after heavy storms; adding fines or top-up material every 2-4 years is common. Professional regrading can run $100-$500 depending on driveway length and access, while material top-ups typically follow local delivered prices (roughly $30-60 per ton for common materials). Costs vary by site conditions, how much material you add, and whether you hire equipment.
Gravel is usually the least expensive up-front at about $1-$3 per sq ft installed, but it needs more maintenance and has a shorter practical lifespan. Asphalt runs about $3-$7 per sq ft and is durable with moderate maintenance, while concrete is $4-$10 per sq ft with long life and low maintenance, and pavers are $10-$20 per sq ft with excellent repairability. In Venus's climate and clay soils, gravel is cost-effective for rural properties but consider drainage and upkeep when comparing to paved options.
Yes. Check City of Venus zoning and building rules and any HOA guidelines before you start, since some HOAs restrict visible surface materials and the city or county may require driveway permits for connections to public roads. If you live outside city limits, check Johnson County regulations and the local road department for culvert or driveway access rules. When in doubt, contact the city planning office or your HOA for clear requirements.
Natural variation is normal because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so color and texture can differ from photos. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes at checkout and we will pass them to suppliers, but exact matches are not guaranteed. If appearance is critical, request a sample or ask your local supplier about available stock before delivery.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request this service at checkout and note site conditions. Spreading is not guaranteed and will depend on safety, equipment, and access. For controlled, even spreads on driveways, plan to hire a local contractor or use a skid steer for professional grading if precise results are required.
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.
