Why Waco Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Waco (city population 126,600) sits in a growing part of central Texas that is seeing steady development as the broader metro area expands. With a growth rate of 1.52% annually, homeowners and local builders increasingly need reliable materials for new driveways, patios, erosion control, and landscape projects. The local climate — 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, in hardiness zone 8b — creates a cycle of wet and dry conditions that demands durable, well-draining aggregates. That combination of steady population growth and a climate that alternates between heavy sun and periodic rain means Waco residents look for quality gravel that performs over time rather than materials that break down or wash away after a single season. Gravel is a practical choice for Waco yards because it improves surface drainage after storms and holds up under frequent sun exposure without needing frequent replacement. Permeable by nature, properly sized gravel reduces standing water, limits mud, and provides a stable base for driveways, paths, and garden beds suited to zone 8b planting. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, with transparent pricing, a minimum 3-ton order, standard 2+ business day delivery, and next-day options for orders placed before noon CST — making it easy to get the right material on schedule for any Waco project.Popular Projects in Waco This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Waco gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Waco.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used in Waco carries about 10–12 tons (roughly 6–9 cubic yards) of gravel. Price depends on the type of gravel and delivery fees; for common landscaping gravels in the Waco area you can generally expect delivered prices to fall within a moderate range (material plus delivery), and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum per order. Contact our team or use the online quote tool to get an exact delivered price for your zip code and material choice.
Buying in bulk and choosing locally common materials is the most cost-effective route in Waco. Recycled options like crushed concrete or recycled asphalt are often cheaper than decorative rock, and picking up material yourself can save delivery fees if you have an appropriate vehicle. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier prices and available recycled options in your area.
Costs vary by length, depth, and material. As an example, a 20 ft wide by 100 ft long driveway at a 4-inch compacted depth typically needs about 24–26 cubic yards (roughly 30–35 tons) of gravel; material and delivery in Waco can put the project roughly in the $1,000–$3,000 range depending on the gravel type, delivery, and whether you hire spreading and compaction. Get a specific quote from Hello Gravel with your exact dimensions and preferred material for a more accurate estimate.
No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway. For a residential car driveway in Waco we recommend 4–6 inches of compacted gravel over a properly prepared base to prevent rutting and erosion, especially with Texas rain events. Adding edging and ensuring good drainage will help the gravel perform better over time.
Coverage depends on depth: as a rule of thumb, 1 ton of gravel covers about 80–100 sq ft at 2 inches deep, about 50–70 sq ft at 3 inches, and roughly 40–50 sq ft at 4 inches. Coverage varies by the gravel type and how well it is compacted, so we recommend using Hello Gravel's material calculator or contacting our team with your project dimensions for a precise estimate.
Texas black gravel is a dark-colored decorative aggregate commonly used in local landscaping for modern or high-contrast designs. Appearance and exact composition vary by region and supplier, so color and particle size you receive in Waco may differ from pictures online. Add color preferences in your order notes or request a sample through Hello Gravel when possible.
Ten cubic yards of gravel weighs roughly 13.5–15 tons (using 2,700–3,000 lbs per cubic yard). Delivered cost depends on the material and haul distance; in Waco expect a wide price range based on type and supplier, so request a quote through Hello Gravel for current local pricing and delivery options.
One cubic yard of typical gravel in Waco weighs about 2,700–3,000 pounds (about 1.35–1.5 tons). Weight varies by stone type and moisture content, so use the range for planning truck capacity and delivery.
Regular loose gravel does not harden like concrete. If you need a firm, concrete-like surface, consider stabilized solutions such as gravel mixed with fines and compacted base, polymer or resin-bound gravel, or adding a compacted crushed-stone base and geogrid. Talk to a contractor or Hello Gravel about materials that give a firmer surface while keeping a gravel look.
Gravel tends to reduce the habitat for moisture-loving pests compared with organic mulches because it does not retain moisture. However, gravel won't eliminate insects entirely; ants, ground beetles, and other pests can still be present. Good grading, removing debris, and proper edging help reduce pest-friendly conditions.
Crushed concrete, recycled asphalt, and decomposed granite are often cheaper alternatives to decorative gravel in the Waco area. Each option has different looks and performance—crushed concrete compacts well for driveways, while decomposed granite is good for pathways. Check local availability and any HOA or city rules before choosing an alternative.
Multiply the area (length × width in feet) by the desired depth in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.35 to convert to tons (use 1.35 for a typical gravel density). For example, a 20 ft × 20 ft area at 3 inches deep = (400 × 0.25)/27 ≈ 3.7 cubic yards, which is about 5 tons. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact us with your dimensions for a quick, local estimate.
Standard delivery through Hello Gravel is scheduled for 2+ business days, with a next-day delivery option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle); drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but this is not guaranteed. Confirm available delivery windows and any spreading requests when you place your order.
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.
