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.

Frequently Asked Questions - Kountze gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Kountze.
Costs vary by gravel type and distance from local quarries. For Kountze, expect material prices roughly $20 to $60 per ton depending on type (crusher-run and #57 near the low end, decorative pea gravel near the high end), plus delivery that commonly ranges from $0 to $200 depending on supplier distance and truck access. Tailgate spreading, when available, is usually an extra fee or charged hourly; request it at checkout but note drivers perform it at their discretion. For an accurate number, get a quote for your zip code and project size.
Common choices around Kountze and Hardin County include crushed limestone (good all-purpose base and inexpensive), #57 stone (good for drainage and surface), pea gravel (decorative but mobile), and crusher-run (compacts well as a base). Regional suppliers often offer those options plus locally sourced crushed granite or river rock; color and texture can vary. Choose crushed, angular materials for driveways that need compaction and rounded stones like pea gravel only for low-traffic decorative areas.
Hello Gravel connects you to local quarries and haulers that serve Hardin County; many suppliers deliver within roughly a 30 to 60 mile radius, but delivery availability depends on the specific quarry and truck fleet. We require a minimum order of 3 tons through our platform and offer standard delivery scheduling of 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. Enter your zip code on the site or contact our team to see which local suppliers serve your address and get exact delivery pricing.
Estimate by area and depth: a 1-car driveway (about 10 x 20 ft) at 4 inches of gravel needs roughly 3 to 4 tons, at 6 inches ~5 to 6 tons. A 2-car driveway (about 20 x 20 ft) at 4 inches needs about 6 to 7 tons, at 6 inches ~9 to 11 tons. A 3-car driveway (about 30 x 20 ft) at 4 inches needs about 9 to 11 tons, at 6 inches ~13 to 16 tons; soil type and compaction will affect these numbers, so use our material calculator or request a supplier estimate.
Kountze has hot, humid summers and frequent heavy rain events, so drainage and washout are the main concerns. Choose angular, well-draining materials like crushed limestone or #57 stone for surfaces and a compactable base (crusher-run) underneath to resist movement. Expect to grade and top up gravel more often after heavy rains, and consider geotextile fabric and proper slopes to reduce washout.
Start with clearing vegetation and installing a compacted base of crusher-run or 2 course layers: 4-6 inches of compactable base plus 1-2 inches of surface stone for driveways. Add crown (slight center slope), install culverts or French drains where water crosses the drive, and use geotextile fabric over soft or clay soils to improve stability. These steps reduce rutting and washout during heavy Kountze rain events and extend the lifespan of the gravel surface.
Rules vary by property. Many rural Hardin County parcels do not require a county permit for a residential gravel driveway, but properties inside city limits, in floodplains, or under an HOA may have additional requirements. Check Kountze city planning or Hardin County offices and review any HOA guidelines before ordering materials to avoid rework or permit issues.
Gravel typically has the lowest upfront cost per square foot but requires ongoing maintenance like grading and periodic top-ups. Asphalt and concrete are more expensive initially but have lower routine maintenance; asphalt can last 15-20 years with sealcoating and repairs, while concrete can last longer with higher upfront cost. For many rural Kountze properties, gravel is a practical low-cost option, but factor in long-term maintenance when comparing total lifecycle costs and get local quotes for a direct comparison.
Plan on light maintenance yearly—grading low spots, filling potholes, and adding 0.5 to 1 inch of top-up gravel every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and rainfall. More extensive regrading or adding several tons of new gravel may be needed every 3 to 7 years. Budget varies by size and traffic, but small residential driveways commonly spend a few hundred dollars per year on upkeep; get supplier estimates for topping and hauling costs for your driveway size.
For heavy vehicles and RVs, use a compactable base like crusher-run or 1-1/2" to 2" clean crushed rock topped with 3/4"-1" crushed stone to handle weight and reduce ruts. For farm equipment and heavy trucks, thicker base (6 inches or more) is recommended. For equestrian areas avoid loose pea gravel; choose firm, angular stone that compacts well, and add a geotextile layer to reduce migration into underlying soils.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
