Why Highlands Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Highlands is a small but active community with a city population of 10,100 and connections to a larger metro area population of 2.5+ million. An annual growth rate of 0.70% suggests steady, modest expansion rather than boom-level construction, which typically means a continual stream of home improvements, infill projects, and small-to-medium sized builds rather than large-scale development. With 228 sunny days a year and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, local projects require materials that handle both strong sun exposure and periodic wet conditions. That mix drives demand for durable base materials, erosion-control products, topsoil and mulch for landscaping, and sand or fines for grading and compaction. Homeowners and contractors in Highlands are increasingly focused on long-lasting, low-maintenance solutions that perform under local climate stresses while reflecting regional geology and aesthetics.Popular Projects in Highlands This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Highlands Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Highlands.
For driveways in Highlands, choose a material based on traffic, drainage, and maintenance needs rather than one single product. Mixed gravel and crushed stone are common for load-bearing surfaces, while coarser material helps drainage and finer material compacts smoother. Because local suppliers source materials regionally, check samples and consider local climate effects like heat and seasonal rain when deciding.
Match the material to the task: choose materials that provide the right drainage, stability, and appearance for your project. For paths and driveways, prioritize stability and compaction; for flower beds and top dressing, prioritize weed suppression and water retention. If unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance based on Highlands conditions.
Estimate needs by calculating the area (length x width) and desired depth, then convert cubic feet to tons using typical densities; most homeowners find our online calculator useful for this. As a rule of thumb, 1 inch of material over 100 square feet is about 0.31 cubic yards. For precise orders, measure the project area and consult our calculator or our sales team to avoid under- or over-ordering.
Yes, we work with local suppliers and contracted haulers to deliver in and around Highlands, including many rural locations. Service can depend on road access, gate height, and truck turning radius; provide delivery notes and photos at checkout to help ensure a smooth drop. If access is limited, our team will discuss alternative drop locations or delivery options with you.
Standard delivery usually takes 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Minimum orders start at 3 tons, and you can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout. We confirm delivery windows with local haulers but do not guarantee exact arrival times.
No single image can capture all natural variation; materials are sourced regionally so color, texture, and size can vary across Highlands deliveries. You can add color or appearance notes at checkout and request photos from your supplier before delivery. If the material differs significantly from your expectations, contact customer service to discuss options and next steps.
West Texas heat and periods of drought can cause finer materials to dry out and dust, while heavy rain events can affect drainage and compaction. Choose materials with good drainage and consider a slightly coarser mix for surfaces that face intense sun or seasonal storms. Local suppliers can recommend blends that perform well in Highlands' climate.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on site safety and truck setup. You can request spreading at checkout and note any access or property concerns, but plan for the possibility that you may need to spread or tamp the material yourself or hire local labor. Always clear the delivery area and mark any utilities before delivery.
Permitting depends on the project and location; small landscaping changes typically do not need permits, while structural work like building driveways or altering drainage may. Check with Highlands or Harris County permitting offices for specific rules on driveway connections, curb cuts, and stormwater runoff. If in doubt, consult a local contractor or the city planning office before ordering materials.
For drainage you generally want coarser, well-graded materials that allow water to pass through easily; for landscaping or decorative uses you might prefer finer, screened materials that are easier to rake and plant around. Many projects use a combination: a coarse base for drainage topped with finer material for appearance. Talk with our team to choose a mix that balances function and look for Highlands conditions.
Costs vary widely based on material choice, depth, site prep, and whether you hire labor for grading and spreading. Expect costs to include material, delivery (minimum 3 tons), any site preparation, and optional spreading, with next-day delivery carrying an extra fee. For an accurate estimate, use our calculator, get a quote through the website, or contact our sales team with project dimensions and preferences.
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.
