Why Wilmer Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Wilmer has a city population of 5,560 and is part of a metro area of 2.5+ million, with steady expansion driven by a 2.33% annual growth rate. The local climate is semi-arid — roughly 228 sunny days annually and 34.25 inches of rainfall each year — and the area sits in hardiness zone 8b. That combination of sun, occasional heavy rains, and development pressure creates steady demand for construction and landscaping materials: driveways, drainage systems, patios, and foundation backfill are common homeowner projects. For those projects, homeowners seek quality aggregates because consistent grading, correct stone size, and proper installation reduce settling, control erosion, and improve long-term drainage performance in Wilmer’s climate and soil conditions.Popular Projects in Wilmer This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Wilmer gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Wilmer.
Delivered gravel prices in the Wilmer area usually range from about $20 to $60 per ton depending on type (pea, crushed limestone, river rock) and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is 2+ business days; many areas qualify for free delivery but fees can apply, especially for next-day orders. Installation or contractor labor for a basic driveway or pad commonly adds about $1 to $3 per square foot depending on base work needed and site access. Final cost depends on material choice, depth, site prep, and whether spreading or compaction is included.
For Wilmer driveways, crushed limestone or 3/4" to 1-1/2" crushed stone is usually best because it compacts well and resists migration in hot, dry West Texas conditions. Pea gravel is a good top layer for walkways and patios but moves more easily, so pair it with edging or a stabilizer. Decomposed granite works for low-traffic paths and patios, while larger river rock is better for drainage features and decorative beds.
Use a conversion of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard and plan 10-15% extra for compaction and waste. Typical estimates: 1-car driveway (10' x 20') at 4" depth needs roughly 3.5 to 4.5 tons; 2-car driveway (20' x 22') at 4" depth needs roughly 8 to 9.5 tons; a 500 sq ft patio at 2" depth needs about 4 to 4.5 tons. Adjust quantities for deeper base or additional topcoat layers.
Gravel performs well under heat and drought but can wash or migrate during flash floods and heavy storms common in the region. Use a stable base of larger crushed rock, compact it, and slope surfaces to shed water; install geotextile fabric to limit mixing with underlying soils. Add edging, berms, or swales to control runoff, and consider gravel stabilizers or grids on slopes or high-traffic areas to reduce displacement.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve West Texas; we require a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery takes 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and delivery is via contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Availability, delivery fees, and material color/texture can vary by supplier, so check your zip code and request a photo or notes at checkout if you have preferences.
With proper installation, crushed limestone or crushed stone driveways can last 10-20 years with periodic topping, while pea gravel and decomposed granite require more frequent replenishing and maintenance. Annually you should rake to redistribute material, add 1/2 to 1 inch of top-off material as needed, control weeds with fabric or herbicide, and check edging and drainage. After heavy storms expect to regrade sections that washed out and add new material to low spots.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost at roughly $1 to $3 per sq ft installed, offers quick drainage, and is easy to repair but needs ongoing maintenance. Asphalt and concrete have higher upfront costs (asphalt about $3 to $7 per sq ft, concrete about $4 to $8 per sq ft depending on site conditions) and offer a smoother, longer-lasting surface that typically requires less frequent topping. For resale, paved driveways are often viewed as more permanent, but gravel is a cost-effective choice for rural Wilmer properties where flexibility and drainage are priorities.
Requirements vary by property: some Wilmer city regulations or county rules apply to new driveway curb cuts, drainage changes, or impervious surface limits, and many HOAs have rules on driveway materials and appearance. Before ordering, contact the City of Wilmer or your HOA to confirm permit requirements and any material or color restrictions. When in doubt, request documentation and keep it on file in case the supplier or hauler asks about access or grading.
Excavate to a stable subgrade, remove organic material, and compact the native soil before installing a geotextile fabric to separate soil from rock. Lay a 3 to 6 inch compacted base of larger crushed stone for drainage, then add a 2 to 3 inch top layer of fines or pea gravel; use edge restraints to keep material contained. Compact each layer with a plate compactor and slope the surface for runoff; on very clayey or low spots, add additional base rock and consider subdrains.
DIY can save money if you have access to equipment and know how to grade, compact, and finish the surface; you will still need to buy minimum quantities (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) and possibly rent a compactor. Hiring a contractor reduces time and ensures proper base work; typical contractor-installed gravel driveways often add $1 to $3 per sq ft for labor and grading, or labor bills of several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on project size and site prep. Get multiple quotes and ask suppliers for local contractor recommendations if you prefer a pro install.
Ensure truck access with at least 12 to 14 feet of horizontal clearance and a clear path free of low branches or overhead wires; tri-axle dump trucks are commonly used. Specify your preferred drop location in order notes, but know drivers may place material in the safest nearby spot and tailgate spreading is available only at driver discretion. For restricted access or delicate yards, consider a smaller drop location, additional labor for spreading, or hiring a local contractor to move material after delivery.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may not exactly match photos; if the material differs significantly or you need a change, contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible. We will work with local suppliers and haulers to address issues and accommodate order changes prior to processing, but changes are harder once dispatch has occurred. Review our shipping and refund policy for details and include photos when reporting problems.
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.
