Why Brenham Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Brenham, with a city population of 26,431 and located within a West Texas metro area of 2.5+ million, is seeing steady development at a growth rate of 1.32% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days/year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round landscaping and construction activity. That combination of steady growth and active outdoor projects increases demand for durable, low-maintenance aggregates. Homeowners in Brenham commonly choose gravel for driveways, French drains, erosion control, and low-water landscapes because it offers reliable drainage, resists rutting under vehicle traffic, and tolerates both sun and occasional heavy rains. Choosing the right size and composition helps prevent washouts and keeps surfaces stable over time.Popular Projects in Brenham This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Brenham gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Brenham.
Buying bulk by the ton is usually the cheapest option in Brenham. Use Hello Gravel to get quotes from local suppliers and haulers, choose a common local material (like crushed limestone or recycled concrete), and schedule delivery to avoid multiple trips. Minimum orders start at 3 tons, so plan by project size to get the best per-ton price.
Crushed limestone and recycled concrete are often the most affordable driveway options in the Brenham area because they are locally available and compact well. Decorative gravels like pea stone or colored rock cost more, so pick a basic crushed stone for a durable, low-cost surface.
Three common categories are crushed stone (angular pieces that lock when compacted), pea gravel or river rock (rounded stones for appearance and drainage), and crusher run/screenings (a mix of stone and fines that compacts into a firm base). Each type serves different uses: base, topcoat, or decorative accents.
Brenham generally falls in USDA hardiness zone 8a/8b, which mainly affects plant selection rather than gravel performance. For gravel work, the main local concerns are heavy summer heat and occasional heavy rains, so choose materials and drainage plans that handle seasonal weather.
Costs vary by material and truck size, but base gravels in the area commonly range from about $25 to $60 per ton; decorative gravels can be higher. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10-12 cubic yards (about 14-18 tons depending on material), so multiply the tons by your per-ton price and add delivery fees; get a Hello Gravel quote for an exact local price.
Coverage varies by gravel density and depth. As a rule of thumb, with typical crushed stone (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard) one ton will cover roughly 115 sq ft at 2 inches deep or about 77 sq ft at 3 inches deep; adjust for the specific material you choose.
Two inches of gravel is usually too thin for a driveway built on native soil because it won’t prevent rutting. For a new driveway you should plan on a compacted base of 4–6 inches of crushed rock plus a 2–3 inch top layer of your finish gravel; if you are dressing an already solid base, 2 inches may be acceptable for light residential use.
Local prices vary by material and supplier, but expect typical driveway gravels to run roughly $25 to $60 per ton in the Brenham area. Exact cost depends on type (base vs decorative), seasonal demand, and delivery distance; request a quote through Hello Gravel for a precise number.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. If you plan a 3-inch top layer you need about 3.7 cubic yards (roughly 5–6 tons), and at $35 per ton that is about $175–$210 for material alone; adding a compacted base or higher-grade decorative stone will raise the total, and delivery/spreading fees are extra. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator or get a local quote to include material choices and delivery.
You can lay gravel directly on soil for short-term or decorative uses, but it’s not recommended for driveways or high-traffic areas because the gravel mixes with soil and shifts. For lasting results install a geotextile fabric, compact a base layer of crushed stone, and provide proper edging and drainage before adding the top gravel.
No gravel truly hardens like concrete, but compactable mixes such as crusher run (stone with fines) or recycled concrete, when properly graded and compacted, form a firm, nearly solid surface. For a very hard finish consider stabilizers (polymer binders), a compacted base with grid reinforcement, or paving alternatives; none will perform exactly like poured concrete but they can be very durable.
Color choice depends on your house style and heat considerations: lighter gravels reflect heat and stay cooler in Brenham’s hot summers, while darker gravels can contrast nicely with landscaping but may absorb more heat. Also consider local availability and ask Hello Gravel for samples or photos of regional material to match your design.
Install gravel during drier months—typically spring or fall in the Brenham area—to avoid working in heavy rain or very soft ground. Scheduling through Hello Gravel allows you to pick a delivery date that aligns with good weather and gives the ground time to be prepped and compacted.
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.
