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 Waxahachie Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Waxahachie, Texas, with a city population of 66,165 and an annual growth rate of 2.54%, is experiencing steady residential and infrastructure expansion that increases demand for reliable aggregates. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 35.66 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b—means yards and jobsites must handle both long, dry stretches and periodic heavy rain. Contractors and DIY homeowners working across the metro area of 2.5+ million need materials that perform for drainage, erosion control, and durable surfaces. That combination of growth and variable weather is why homeowners turn to quality gravel: it controls runoff, reduces maintenance, stabilizes driveways and pathways, and provides an attractive, low-maintenance finish that suits West Texas landscapes. Gravel choices for Waxahachie should reflect local soils and seasonal patterns. In this climate, well-graded, angular gravel installed with proper base preparation improves drainage and resists displacement during storms while blending with the warm, sandy tones common to the region. Hello Gravel simplifies getting the right material by connecting you with trusted local suppliers and dump-truck delivery, providing transparent pricing, and helping you schedule delivery and select mixes that match your project—driveways, French drains, walkways, or decorative beds—without the hassle of coordinating multiple vendors.Popular Projects in Waxahachie This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Waxahachie gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Waxahachie.
Delivered prices vary by type and supplier, but approximate ranges in the Waxahachie/West Texas area are: crushed limestone $25-$45 per ton, #57 stone $30-$55 per ton, base rock $20-$40 per ton, and decorative gravels $40-$80 per ton. Actual prices depend on local quarry supply, color and size, delivery distance, and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with next-day options before noon CST for an extra fee.
For Waxahachie’s hot summers and clay-influenced soils, crushed limestone and well-graded base rock are popular because they compact well and resist rutting. #57 stone is a good top layer for drainage and traction, while caliche or crushed granite can be used where local availability and cost favor them. Always pair a compacted base layer with a suitable top dressing for longevity in local conditions.
Use these rough estimates for planning: 2" depth = about 0.008 tons per sq ft (8-10 tons per 1,000 sq ft), 3" = about 0.012 tons per sq ft (12-15 tons per 1,000 sq ft), 4" = about 0.016 tons per sq ft (16-20 tons per 1,000 sq ft). For example, a typical single-car driveway (about 240 sq ft) needs roughly 2.5-3.5 tons at 3", while a two-car driveway (about 800 sq ft) needs about 9-12 tons at 3". These numbers assume standard gravel density and do not include additional base material or compaction allowance.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve the Waxahachie area and can provide delivery and installation quotes. You can also contact nearby quarries, landscape supply yards, or local contractors for installation bids; expect many yards to have a minimum load size and to charge delivery based on distance and truck type. Always confirm minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), delivery timelines, and any setup or spreading fees before booking.
If trucks, tractors, or heavy equipment will frequently use the area, you need a thicker, well-compacted subbase and larger, angular aggregates in the base layer to distribute load. Use a 3-6 inch compacted base of crusher-run or base rock beneath a wearing course of #57 or similar for strength, and consider geotextile fabric to prevent subgrade mixing. Lighter top dressings alone are not sufficient for frequent heavy loads.
Prep the subgrade by removing organic material, grading for positive drainage, and installing geotextile fabric where drainage or soft soils are a concern. Lay a compacted base of crusher-run or base rock, install edge restraints, add the top layer of the chosen gravel, and compact in lifts for stability. Plan for a gentle crown or 1%-2% slope to shed water and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to assist (it is performed at the driver’s discretion).
With proper base prep, a gravel driveway in Waxahachie can perform well for many years, but heavy use and storms will shorten intervals between maintenance. Expect to regrade annually, add a 1-3 inch top-up of gravel every 2-5 years depending on traffic, and control weeds as needed. Promptly fix ruts, maintain drainage, and replace thin or washed-out areas to extend the life of the surface.
Permit and HOA rules vary by property. Check with the City of Waxahachie and your neighborhood HOA before installing; some areas regulate driveway materials, setbacks, or impervious surface coverage. If you are in a restricted neighborhood, get written approval from the HOA and confirm any city permit requirements before work begins.
Installed prices depend on excavation, base material, gravel type, site access, and labor; expect a wide range based on project complexity. Typical cost components include excavation and hauling, 3-6 inches of compacted base rock, top dressing gravel, compaction, and labor; small driveways may total a few thousand dollars while larger or heavily prepped jobs can run higher. For accurate pricing, get site-specific quotes from suppliers or contractors and compare delivered material costs and installation labor.
Bulk delivery usually costs more per ton than buying at a quarry or yard because you are paying for hauling, but delivery saves you time and the need for a truck and loading equipment. Pickup can be cheaper per ton if you can haul the material yourself and meet the supplier’s minimums, but factor in vehicle wear, time, and potential load limits. Hello Gravel offers transparent delivery pricing, a 3-ton minimum, and can help you compare delivered vs. pickup options for your ZIP code.
Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color, texture, and particle shape can vary with local geology, so the delivered material may not match photos exactly. Photos are representative of the product type, but natural variation is normal; you can add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes at checkout. If appearance is critical, request a sample or ask your supplier for photos of recent loads before ordering.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
