Gravel: Drought-Ready Driveway And Drainage • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Before Noon
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 Port Neches Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Port Neches, West Texas, has a city population of 12,010 and sits within a metro area of 35,000, making it a small but steadily growing community with a growth rate of 2.10% annually. The local climate is notable for 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and the region falls in hardiness zone 8b. Those environmental factors—warm, sunny stretches punctuated by moderate rain—drive steady demand for reliable aggregates as homeowners invest in low-maintenance yards, improved driveways, and erosion control. Gravel is a common choice because it supports good drainage, limits mud in wet periods, and holds up under sunny, dry spells, so Port Neches property owners frequently seek quality materials that match local soil and weather patterns. Gravel works well in Port Neches’ climate because it promotes surface drainage during rainy periods and resists breakdown under prolonged sun exposure, helping pathways, driveways, and drainage swales perform year-round. Regional sourcing means the gravel available locally reflects the area’s geology, so color and texture can vary but will suit local soils. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with vetted local suppliers and haulers, simplifies ordering, and schedules deliveries so you get the right gravel for your project without the guesswork. Add preferences in your order notes and our team can help pick the best gravel type for Port Neches conditions.Popular Projects in Port Neches This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Port Neches gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Port Neches.
A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers about 10–12 tons of gravel; total cost in Port Neches commonly ranges from about $250 to $800 depending on gravel type, distance, and whether delivery is included. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum, and local suppliers and material choice (pea, crushed stone, river rock) drive price differences. For an exact price, check your zip code on our site or request a quote so we can match you with nearby suppliers.
Per-ton prices in the Port Neches area usually fall between $25 and $60 depending on the type of gravel and local quarry availability. Decorative gravels toward the higher end and bulk base materials toward the lower end. Final price can include delivery fees, so get an itemized quote through Hello Gravel for an accurate number.
River gravel is rounded and comes in mixed sizes from natural water sorting, which makes it good for drainage and a smooth look; pea gravel is small, uniformly rounded stones about 1/8" to 3/8" and is often used for patios and decorative areas. River rock tends to be larger and varies more in color, while pea gravel is consistent and easier to walk on. In Port Neches, regional sourcing affects color and texture, so expect local variations.
A small single-car driveway roughly 20 feet long by 10 feet wide at a 2" top layer typically needs about 1.7–3.5 tons, but because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum you should expect to order 3 tons. Total installed cost usually runs from about $150 to $400 depending on material and delivery. If you want a thicker, more durable surface (3" or more) costs will be higher because you will need more tons.
Two inches of gravel is usually too thin for a driveway in Port Neches' humid, rainy climate and local soils; it can wash out or compact unevenly under vehicle traffic. We recommend a 3–4" finished gravel layer over a compacted base, and often a 4–6" crushed-rock subbase for heavy vehicles. That setup improves drainage and reduces maintenance in coastal East Texas conditions.
For a 100-foot driveway a common width is 10–12 feet; at 3" depth a 100' x 10' driveway needs roughly 12–14 tons of gravel. If you want a thinner 2" layer plan on about 8–10 tons, and a thicker 4" layer will be closer to 16–18 tons. Exact totals depend on width, depth, and compaction, so use our material calculator or contact our team with your driveway dimensions for a precise quote.
The least expensive options are typically crushed base, bank-run gravel, or locally quarried limestone used for road base and driveways. These materials offer good compaction and are cheaper than decorative gravels or washed river rock. Keep in mind lower-cost options trade off in appearance, so choose based on whether function or look is most important.
Buy in bulk (order the minimum 3 tons or a full truckload) and choose local suppliers to reduce haul distance—many Hello Gravel suppliers offer competitive or free delivery in the Port Neches area. Scheduling during off-peak times and selecting common regional materials also helps lower cost. Use our checkout to compare local supplier quotes and delivery options for the best price.
There isn't a universal '3-3-3' rule for gravel, but practical guidance is: 2" for walkways, 3–4" for standard driveways, and a 4–6" compacted base of crushed rock beneath drive surfaces for vehicles. Local soil and rainfall in Port Neches usually mean you should lean toward the thicker end of those ranges. For specific projects, measure area and use our calculator or ask our team for a tailored recommendation.
Avoid pea gravel where stones are likely to migrate or cause problems—on steep slopes, high-traffic driveways, or areas that receive heavy runoff because it tends to wash away. Pea gravel is also not ideal for small children or pets that may pick it up, and it can be difficult to compact for driveways. For Port Neches yards with clay soils or frequent heavy rain, consider crushed stone or larger rounded rock for better stability.
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.
