Gravel: Drought-Resistant Drainage For HorizonCity • Choose Your Gravel Delivery Date
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.
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.

Why Horizon City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Horizon City is a growing community of 228,148 residents experiencing steady expansion at about 2.50% annually. With 230 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, local yards and streets face a mix of sun, periodic heavy rain, and the need for low-maintenance landscaping. That steady growth and ongoing housing development across a metro area of 2.3+ million create strong demand for reliable aggregates. Homeowners in Horizon City turn to quality gravel for long-lasting driveways, erosion control, improved drainage, and attractive, drought-friendly landscape accents that handle both sun and storm runoff without frequent upkeep. Gravel in Horizon City performs well because it promotes surface drainage and resists displacement under sun-baked and intermittent-rain conditions. Well-graded crushed gravel or angular stone locks together for stable drive surfaces and pathways, while rounded landscaping gravel offers easier walking and a cleaner look for beds. Hello Gravel connects Horizon City homeowners with local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery so you get regionally sourced material that reflects local geology. We make ordering simple, let you choose delivery timing, and provide guidance so your project gets the right gravel for local weather and soil conditions.Popular Projects in Horizon City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Horizon City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Horizon City.
Local gravel prices vary by type, but a reasonable Horizon City estimate is: crushed limestone $20-40 per ton (about $26-52 per cubic yard), pea gravel $25-60 per ton ($33-78 per cubic yard), decomposed granite $30-70 per ton ($39-91 per cubic yard), and river rock $40-80 per ton ($52-104 per cubic yard). These are ballpark retail+delivery ranges and depend on supplier, distance, and truck fees. For an exact price, check your zip code on Hello Gravel for a local quote and note our minimum order of 3 tons.
For Horizon City’s arid, hot climate, crushed stone (3/4" minus or 3/4" clean) and decomposed granite are best for driveways because they compact well and resist washout. Pea gravel and river rock look nice for paths and low-traffic areas, but they shift under vehicle traffic and are harder to compact. Add geotextile fabric, edging, and a compacted base to improve stability in storm events and heavy sun exposure.
A typical 2-car driveway of about 20 ft by 20 ft (400 sq ft) needs approximately 3.7 cubic yards for a 3-inch layer, which is about 4.8 tons (using 1 cubic yard = ~1.3 tons). For a stronger driveway use 4-6 inches of material (about 5–7.4 cubic yards or 6.5–9.6 tons). Always order 10-20% extra to allow for compaction and settling, and remember Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons.
Hello Gravel partners with local El Paso County suppliers and haulers that deliver to Horizon City; availability shows up when you enter your zip code on our site. Typical logistics: dump-truck delivery (usually tri-axle), minimum order commonly 3 tons through Hello Gravel, and fees depend on distance and driveway access. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion and availability.
Design your gravel areas with drainage in mind: slope surfaces away from structures, install a shallow swale or French drain where runoff concentrates, and use edging or small curbs to contain material. Use a compacted base, geotextile fabric, and larger stone in high-flow zones to prevent washouts during sudden storms. Avoid putting loose gravel in natural flood paths and consult local stormwater rules if your property drains into public ways.
In Horizon City you should plan light maintenance once a year (raking to redistribute material and clearing debris) and a more thorough top-up and re-compaction every 3–5 years for driveways with normal traffic. Lifespan depends on base construction and use: a well-built gravel driveway can function for 10+ years with periodic topping, while poorly installed ones may need work in 3–5 years. Expect to add a thin layer of new gravel every few years rather than full replacement.
Rules vary: Horizon City and some El Paso County neighborhoods may require permits or have standards for driveway materials, and private HOAs often have design rules that restrict gravel. Before ordering, check Horizon City building/permit requirements and review your HOA covenants if you have one; Hello Gravel’s team can help you find local contacts. If in doubt, get written HOA approval to avoid removal or fines later.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost (roughly $1–$3 per sq ft installed) but higher ongoing maintenance (periodic topping and regrading). Concrete and asphalt cost more up front (concrete $4–$8 per sq ft, asphalt $3–$6 per sq ft) and need less frequent topping, though they can crack in temperature extremes and require patching or sealcoating. Pavers are the most expensive up front ($10–$25 per sq ft) but offer easy spot repairs and a long lifespan; choose based on budget, maintenance willingness, and HOA or city rules.
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.
