If you searched for sand and gravel near me in Sherman, the useful fact is that the supplier is already in town. Sherman is the Grayson County seat, named for Texas Revolution general Sidney Sherman, and the county's largest city at 43,645 people in the 2020 census. Austin College, founded in 1849, has been in Sherman since it moved here in 1876.
Addresses in Sherman run from lots near the courthouse and the Austin College campus out to acreage at the south edge of the city, where Texas Instruments has built a large semiconductor wafer fab near the city limits. A load going to any of those addresses is planned around how a truck gets in, where the pile can sit, and what the material has to do once it is down.

Which roads get a gravel load to your Sherman address?
Four highways organize a Sherman delivery address: US 75 north and south, US 82 east and west, SH 56 and SH 11 across the city, and SH 91 toward Denison. Give HARDROCK the street, the nearest cross street and which side of US 75 and US 82 the lot sits on, and the route is settled on the call.
Sherman sits between Denison to the north and Howe to the south, about 70 miles north of Dallas. A street name alone can be ambiguous on a growing edge of town, so a landmark helps: the freeway frontage road, a church, a farm gate, a mailbox number on a rural road. Mention it on the call so the route can be confirmed before a loaded truck heads out.

What does Sherman's ground mean for a driveway, pad or bed?
Where a Sherman lot sits on blackland clay, the soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, so a drive or slab pad needs a compacted base layer instead of bare dirt. Grayson County's own history page calls blackland prairie a dominant feature of much of the county, though the soil varies from lot to lot.
Sherman sits at roughly 690 to 735 feet. The Handbook of Texas describes Grayson County as generally level with some low hills and puts its average rainfall near 37 inches a year. Water that stands on a lot after a storm is the first thing to note before ordering, because it decides whether the job needs fill to raise the grade, rock to carry the water off, or both.
Order by what the material has to do, not by the name on the pile. The three jobs at right are common reasons to order in a clay-soil county, and each links to the material guide behind it.
- Drives and parkingA road base layer packs firm under tires, and 57 or 67 rock on top drains and grips. See gravel driveways for the full job.
- Slab and building padsFill dirt raises the grade in compacted lifts, then base caps it for the slab crew. See house pads.
- Beds, paths and patiosDecomposed granite, pea gravel and river rock finish the surface; mason sand beds the pavers. Sherman is USDA zone 8a.

Couldn't be happier with this company. Called yesterday for help with an issue on my driveway. Talked with Dean the owner, he told me what we needed to do to correct the issue. I asked how soon he thought they might get to it and he said maybe the end of the week. By 8pm the same night, he was on the phone with me asking if it would fit my schedule for his guys to come the next day around noon. His guys were on time, polite, hard working and went out of their way to make sure the job was done perfectly and the price was more than fair. I will definitely use this company for all my sand and gravel needs in the future.

What do Sherman customers ask before ordering?
Three questions come up before almost any gravel order in Sherman: whether the truck comes to the address, how much material the job needs, and when the phones are open.
Does HARDROCK deliver sand and gravel inside Sherman, TX?
Yes. HARDROCK Sand and Gravel is based in Sherman and delivers bulk gravel, sand, rock and fill dirt to Sherman addresses. Call 903-420-0330 with the street address, the material and the size of the area, and HARDROCK prices the load by phone.
How much road base or fill does a Sherman driveway or building pad need?
Multiply length by width by depth in feet and divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then add 5 to 10 percent for settling. A 12 by 40 foot drive laid 4 inches deep works out to about 5.9 cubic yards before that extra. HARDROCK will check your numbers on the phone before ordering.
