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.
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 El Campo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
El Campo has a city population of 16,000 and sits within a West Texas metro area of 2.5+ million, a region showing steady construction and infrastructure activity. With a growth rate of 0.34% annually and a climate that includes about 205/year sunny days and 44.50 inches of rain per year in hardiness zone 9a, homeowners here balance strong sun with occasional heavy rainfall. That mix drives demand for durable, low-maintenance landscaping and site-prep materials. Gravel is commonly sought for driveways, walkways, French drains, and base layers because it improves drainage, reduces mud after storms, and withstands heat and UV exposure better than many organic mulches. Local projects—from small yard upgrades to larger driveway replacements—benefit from aggregates that provide long-term performance in El Campo’s climate and steady development pace.Popular Projects in El Campo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - El Campo gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in El Campo.
Delivered gravel costs vary by material, season, and distance from the quarry, but expect roughly $35 to $80 per ton delivered for common driveway materials in El Campo and surrounding West Texas areas. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and often includes delivery in our quoted price; get an exact estimate by entering your zip code or requesting a quote. Prices change with material type (pea gravel vs crushed limestone) and any requested next-day delivery or special services.
For El Campo’s hot summers and clay-prone soils, crushed limestone or angular crushed rock (3/4" minus or similar) is usually best because it locks together and compacts into a stable surface. Pea gravel drains well and looks nice for walkways, but its round stones shift more on clay and can require edging or additional base. Use a compacted crushed base and consider geotextile fabric to separate the gravel from clay subgrade for better long-term performance.
Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers serving El Campo so you can order common materials like crushed limestone, crushed rock, and pea gravel online and schedule delivery. You can also check nearby landscape supply yards and aggregate yards in Wharton County and nearby towns, but the fastest way to compare local pricing and delivery is to request a Hello Gravel quote for your zip code. Always ask suppliers about regional color and size variations before ordering.
For a finished top layer of 3" depth, a 10x20 driveway needs about 2.4 tons and a 12x24 needs about 3.5 tons; for a more durable 4" compacted depth, plan for about 3.2 tons (10x20) and 4.6 tons (12x24). Add roughly 10% extra for compaction, grading losses, and uneven ground. Keep in mind Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum, so small 10x20 jobs often meet that minimum but plan accordingly if you want deeper base layers.
A properly built gravel driveway in El Campo can last 10 years or more with routine maintenance; longevity depends on base thickness, compaction, drainage, and traffic. Expect to regrade ruts and add 1" to 2" of fresh gravel every few years, keep edges defined, and clear standing water to prevent washouts. In clay-heavy areas, monitor soft spots after heavy rains and address drainage issues promptly.
Crushed limestone generally outperforms pea gravel for driveways and high-traffic areas in El Campo because its angular particles interlock and compact to form a firmer surface. Pea gravel is a good choice for decorative walkways and low-traffic areas where comfort and appearance matter, but it tends to migrate on clay soils and sloped areas. For drainage swales, mix sizes or use larger angular rock where erosion control is needed.
Yes—when chosen and installed correctly, gravel is effective for erosion control and improving drainage on slopes around El Campo. Use larger angular rock or riprap in high-flow zones, install geotextile fabric to hold soil, and create check dams, terraces, or lined swales to slow runoff. Combine gravel with vegetation and proper grading to manage stormwater on clay soils common in the area.
A well-built gravel driveway with good base, proper crown, geotextile fabric, and designed drainage can hold up to heavy rain and storms, but severe flooding can wash away material. In El Campo’s storm-prone periods, focus on directing runoff with swales, culverts, and firm edges to prevent erosion. No gravel installation is floodproof, so plan for quick repairs and have extra material available after major storms.
Installation costs vary by site prep, base depth, access, and contractor rates; expect roughly $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot for basic installation and compaction on straightforward sites, and higher for extensive grading or difficult access. Some contractors charge by the ton plus mobilization fees; a small 12x24 driveway project with base work commonly falls in the several-hundred to low-thousands dollar range. Get written local quotes that break out material, delivery, grading, fabric, and compaction so you can compare accurately.
DIY is feasible for small decorative or light-use projects if you have the right tools and experience, but for driveways, steep lots, or clay subgrades in El Campo, hiring a contractor is recommended to ensure proper base, fabric installation, and compaction. Professional prep reduces future maintenance and washouts and is especially worthwhile where drainage or heavy vehicle loads are concerns. If you choose DIY, at minimum use a geotextile fabric, a well-compacted base, and rent a plate compactor or small roller.
