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.
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.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Hockley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hockley homeowners are building and renovating in a region anchored by a nearby city population of 26,340 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million. A steady annual growth rate of 0.70% suggests ongoing, predictable demand for repairs, landscaping updates, and modest new construction rather than sudden spikes; that translates to steady ordering patterns for both DIYers and local contractors. Local climate and geography — 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.80 inches, and hardiness zone 8b — shape what materials perform best: intense sun and heat favor UV-stable, low-maintenance surfaces, while periodic rain increases the need for reliable drainage, erosion control, and robust base materials. Trends in the area point to water-wise landscaping, durable access ways, and soil improvement projects, so accessible, quality bulk supplies like topsoil, mulch, sand, dirt, and aggregates play a direct role in long-term project success.Popular Projects in Hockley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hockley Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hockley.
Homeowners in Hockley typically order materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, garden beds, patios, and grading projects. These materials are chosen for their function—drainage, stability, or finish—so pick a material suited to the job rather than appearance alone. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so check photos and ask suppliers about local samples before ordering.
Hockley’s climate—with hot sun and occasional heavy rains—can speed up erosion and cause settlement if materials are not installed and drained properly. Choose materials and installation methods that promote good drainage, resist washout, and tolerate UV exposure, and consider a compacted base under surface aggregates. Expect that exposed surfaces may need more frequent topping or regrading after severe storms.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees depend on distance, truck type, access constraints, and whether tailgate spreading is requested; many areas offer free delivery depending on supplier agreements. Confirm fees and lead times at checkout so you can schedule a convenient delivery date.
Many local suppliers and contracted haulers serve rural Hockley addresses, but rural delivery can involve extra distance fees, longer lead times, or larger trucks that need clear access. Before delivery, clear obstacles, confirm a level drop zone, and check weight limits on driveways and private roads. If you need tailgate spreading, request it at checkout, but expect the driver to assess feasibility on arrival.
Spring and fall are generally the easiest seasons for deliveries and installation in Hockley because temperatures are milder and soils are less prone to extreme dryness or intense storms. Avoid scheduling major installs during the hottest summer months or during periods of frequent heavy rain to reduce the risk of delays and material movement. If you need urgent work, ask about next-day delivery options and plan for potential weather-related rescheduling.
Start by measuring the project area in square feet and deciding on the desired depth in inches. Convert to cubic yards with this formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324, then convert cubic yards to tons based on material density or use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for a quick estimate. It’s smart to order 5–10% extra to account for compaction and slope variances.
Prioritize grading that directs water away from structures and choose permeable materials where appropriate to reduce runoff and erosion during heavy West Texas rains. Verify local stormwater rules and consider erosion control measures on slopes, such as edging, geotextile fabric, or terracing. Proper drainage planning reduces long-term maintenance and helps meet county or HOA requirements.
Expect periodic maintenance such as regrading, spot replenishment, and weed control—especially after heavy rains that can cause washouts or after long dry spells that lead to settled areas. Loose aggregate surfaces usually need topping every few years depending on traffic and weather, while compacted base layers may need occasional re-compaction. Routine inspections after storms help catch small issues before they become larger repairs.
Contractor pricing usually bundles labor, site preparation, base materials, compaction, and cleanup into a single quote, while material-only purchases cover just the product and delivery. Installation costs vary with site difficulty, access, required equipment, and permit needs, so get multiple quotes and ask for itemized estimates to compare labor versus materials-only options. Choosing materials through a marketplace like Hello Gravel can simplify sourcing and let you separate supply costs from installation bids.
Some HOAs and local rules in Hockley or Harris County may have guidelines or restrictions on visible exterior materials, driveway finishes, and colors, so always check your HOA covenants and local county ordinances before ordering. Even where there are no aesthetic rules, drainage, erosion control, and setback requirements may still apply. When in doubt, ask your HOA or local permitting office and document approvals before purchasing materials.
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.
