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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
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 Centennial Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Centennial has a city population of 110,000 and is part of a growing region with a metro area population of 2.3+ million, expanding at a growth rate of 2.50% annually. The local climate averages 228 sunny days per year with 33.20 inches of rainfall annually and sits in USDA hardiness zone 8b, so homeowners balance long dry stretches with regular seasonal moisture. That mix drives steady demand for durable, well-draining materials for driveways, paths, and planting beds. Gravel is a practical choice for many projects because it sheds water, reduces erosion, and lowers long-term maintenance compared with loose soil or turf, making it a smart option as residential upgrades keep pace with local growth. Gravel performs well in Centennial’s sun-and-rain climate: its open, permeable structure promotes fast drainage, stabilizes weak soils on slopes, and helps prevent standing water after storms. For walkways, driveways, and drainage trenches, homeowners benefit from selecting the right particle mix and compacting the base to limit settling and washout. Hello Gravel connects you with locally sourced aggregates that reflect Centennial’s geology, handles scheduling with trusted local haulers, and provides calculators and guidance so you order the right amount and get reliable delivery on your timeline.Popular Projects in Centennial This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Centennial gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Centennial.
Material costs vary by type: basic crushed gravel often runs about $35-$60 per ton, decorative stones and river rock can be $80-$150 per ton. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers; delivery is free in many areas but typical local delivery fees run about $50-$200 depending on distance and load size, and there is a 3-ton minimum. Tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion and may not be available; if performed by a professional crew, spreading/installation labor is usually charged separately (often $30-$75 per hour or a flat fee depending on the job).
For Centennial's hot, dry climate, crushed stone and decomposed granite are popular because they compact well, drain easily, and resist shifting under heat and drought. Pea gravel works well for casual paths and play areas but tends to migrate on driveways, and river rock is decorative but can roll and collect heat in direct sun. Choose lighter colors to reduce heat absorption and note that locally sourced materials will reflect regional geology and color variations.
Use this two-step method: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons (tons = cu yd * 1.4). For example, a 600 sq ft area at 3" depth is about 5.6 cu yd or roughly 7.8 tons. Add 10-20% for compaction, settling, and waste, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
Permit rules vary by city, county, and neighborhood; some projects need permits for new driveways, curb cuts, grading, or stormwater controls, and many HOAs have rules about surface type and color. Before starting, contact your local building/public works department and check HOA guidelines. If you need help, Hello Gravel's team can point you to local resources after you enter your zip code.
Hello Gravel partners with a network of local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Centennial, connecting you to both decorative and base materials sourced regionally. Delivery fees vary: many orders qualify for free delivery while others incur typical fees of $50-$200 depending on distance and load; check availability and exact pricing by entering your zip code or requesting a quote. Keep in mind the 3-ton minimum for most deliveries.
Basic installs that simply spread gravel over an existing surface can run about $2-$4 per sq ft, while full installations including excavation, geotextile fabric, compacted base rock, edging, and top stone typically range from $4-$10 per sq ft. For a 600 sq ft driveway that means roughly $1,200-$6,000 depending on site prep, access, and materials. Factors that increase cost include steep grades, long haul distances, poor drainage, and required permits.
Start with proper base preparation: remove soft soil, install geotextile fabric, add and compact a crushed rock base, install a solid edge restraint, then top with the chosen finish gravel and compact. Provide good drainage by grading away from structures and including gutters or swales if needed, and plan annual maintenance like light raking and topping up 1/4-1/2 inch of material as needed. Avoid loose, round stones (like small river rock) for driveways where traction and stability matter.
Standard delivery through Hello Gravel is typically 2+ business days from order; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Exact timing depends on supplier and truck availability, and you'll receive scheduling details when your order is confirmed.
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.
