Why Wharton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Wharton, Texas (city population 11,740; metro area population 41,000) sits in a steady-growth region with a 0.50% annual growth rate and a climate that averages 216 sunny days and about 46.00 inches of rain each year. Those conditions—warm temperatures in hardiness zone 9a, frequent sun, and substantial seasonal rainfall—create ongoing demand for practical, low-maintenance landscaping and durable sitework. Homeowners in Wharton often need aggregates that manage runoff, stabilize driveways, and stand up to both wet seasons and hot, sunny stretches. Gravel is a common choice because it sheds water, reduces erosion, and provides a cost-effective surface for paths, parking areas, and garden beds that matches the local geology and aesthetic of West Texas properties.Popular Projects in Wharton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Wharton gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Wharton.
In Wharton, delivered gravel typically ranges roughly $25 to $60 per ton, depending on type (pea, crushed limestone, crusher run) and haul distance. Per cubic yard, expect about $35 to $85 because yard-to-ton conversions vary by material. Hello Gravel can provide an exact delivered price for your zip code and material before you order.
For West Texas heat and clay soils near Wharton, crushed limestone or crusher run are the most common choices because the angular particles lock together and compact well. Decomposed granite with a stabilizer can also work for a smoother, lower-dust finish, while pea gravel is not recommended for driveways because it shifts and tracks. Adding a proper compacted base and geotextile fabric helps prevent rutting on clay soils.
A standard 20x20 driveway requires about 4 inches of gravel for resurfacing and 6 inches for a full base. At 4 inches that is about 5 cubic yards, or roughly 6.5 to 7.5 tons depending on material density; at 6 inches plan on about 7.4 cubic yards or 10 to 11 tons. Hello Gravel’s material calculator can give an exact tons and yardage estimate for your selected gravel type.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers who deliver to Wharton; minimum orders start at 3 tons. Some suppliers or drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed, so request it at checkout and confirm with the supplier after booking.
Gravel can be an effective erosion-control and drainage material when sized and installed correctly; larger rock (riprap or 2-4 inch stone) and geotextile fabric work best for active bank or channel protection. For driveways and yard drainage, well-graded gravel with a compacted base and proper drainage swales will reduce standing water. Because Wharton is in a river plain area, consult local floodplain rules and consider larger stone or vegetated buffers where flows concentrate.
With routine maintenance—annual grading, occasional top-ups of 1 to 2 inches, and spot re-compaction—gravel driveways in Wharton typically last 10 to 20 years as a usable surface. Crusher run and crushed limestone tend to bind and require less frequent topping than loose rounded gravels. Wind, heavy clay soils, and occasional heavy rains in West Texas can increase maintenance needs, so plan for periodic material additions.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and fastest installation, but it requires regular maintenance and topping. Asphalt offers a smoother, mid-range initial cost with periodic sealcoating and eventual resurfacing. Concrete and pavers have higher initial costs but generally lower routine maintenance; pavers offer easy repairs but may need a solid base to avoid settling on clay soils. Choose based on budget, desired finish, and willingness to maintain the surface in Wharton’s climate.
Permit and HOA rules vary by property in Wharton; some areas and HOAs have restrictions on front-yard surfacing or visible gravel driveways. Always check the City of Wharton building department and your HOA before starting work. Many contractors will handle permitting for you, but confirm this in writing as part of any quote or contract.
Typical prices in and around Wharton depend on site prep, access, and how much material is needed; a basic install for a 20x20 driveway with sub-base, geotextile fabric, and compaction can range roughly $1,200 to $4,000. Heavier excavation, poor access, or large haul distances increase cost. Get multiple local quotes and ask for line-item pricing for excavation, fabric, base stone, finish gravel, and compaction.
Low-dust, low-tracking blends for West Texas usually combine angular crushed stone with a small amount of fines (crusher run or 3/8" minus) so particles bind together when compacted. Polymer-stabilized decomposed granite or a small percentage of fines mixed into crushed limestone also helps reduce dust. Periodic watering, magnesium chloride treatments, or stabilizers can further control dust and minimize tracking onto roads.
Conversion depends on material density: common crushed limestone in the Wharton area is roughly 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, so a 5 cubic yard load will weigh about 6.5 to 7.5 tons. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so plan orders and delivery access accordingly. Use the material calculator on our site or contact sales for an exact conversion for the gravel type you choose.
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.
