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.

Why Real County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Real County (city population: 3,051) sits in a growing Texas region with a metro area population: 4.6+ million and a steady 2.10% annual growth rate, creating ongoing demand for residential and small-scale commercial projects. The local climate—hardiness zone 8a with 218 sunny days/year and annual rainfall: 38.97 inches—supports year-round landscaping and construction, but also means homeowners need materials that handle both sun and periodic heavy rains. Gravel is a versatile, low-maintenance aggregate homeowners choose to control erosion, improve driveway durability, and create stable patios or walkways. Because development is active, homeowners tend to seek quality aggregates that compact well, shed water, and blend with regional colors. Local sourcing means the gravel available in Real County will reflect nearby geology, so selecting the right size and finish helps your project look intentional and perform well over time.Popular Projects in Real County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Real County gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Real County.
Delivered price per ton in Real County varies by type and local supply. Expect crushed limestone roughly $20-$40/ton, pea gravel about $30-$70/ton, and river rock about $60-$120/ton. Prices depend on color/grade, seasonal demand, and how far trucks must travel to your property.
Most tri-axle dump trucks in our network carry about 12-16 tons of gravel (roughly 10-14 cubic yards, depending on material). One truckload delivered to Real County typically ranges from $200 to $800, driven by material type and haul distance; remote drops or tight access can increase the price. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and will show delivery estimates at checkout.
For a 20 ft by 50 ft driveway with a 3-inch top layer (a common homeowner scenario), you need about 9-10 cubic yards, or roughly 12-15 tons of gravel. Materials and delivery will commonly cost about $325-$650 depending on gravel type and distance, and basic spreading/installation can add $300-$800, so plan for about $625-$1,450 total. Rural Real County deliveries may push the high end higher if extra travel or off-road access is required.
Common gravels include crushed limestone (very common in Texas), crusher run (Class 5/road base), pea gravel, #57 crushed stone, and river rock. In price from least to most expensive you will generally see crusher run/Class 5, crushed limestone, #57 stone, pea gravel, then river rock, though color, quality, and distance can change ranking. For Real County projects, crushed limestone and crusher run are often the most practical and cost-effective choices.
You can lay gravel directly on soil for small decorative areas, but for driveways or anything with traffic we recommend base preparation. A compacted subbase (4-6 inches of crusher run or Class 5) plus edge restraints and optional geotextile fabric helps prevent rutting, washout, and weed growth in Real County's variable soils and storm events. Skipping prep may save money up front but usually increases maintenance and replacement costs over time.
The least expensive options are usually crusher run, recycled concrete, and Class 5 road base, and these are suitable as base layers for driveways. For a wearing surface, homeowners often top with a layer of 3/4-inch crushed limestone or #57 stone for better drainage and ride. If budget is the primary concern, use cheaper road base for the subbase and a thin top layer of nicer stone for appearance.
Stabilized or polymer-bound gravel is available but less common in rural Real County and typically more expensive than loose gravel. Installed costs commonly run from about $6 to $18 per square foot depending on system and labor, with supply and installer availability affecting price. Contact Hello Gravel to check local supplier availability and get a specific quote for a stabilized surface in your area.
Class 5 (often called crusher run or road base) is a mix of crushed stone and fines that compacts well and forms a stable base for driveways and roads. It is commonly used as a subbase under pavement or as a finished driving surface in rural yards. In Texas, Class 5 typically costs in the lower range, often around $15-$35/ton delivered in Real County, though prices vary with distance and supplier.
Class 7 is a screened, graded base or fill material used for grading, drainage fill, or light-duty surfaces where a finer, more uniform material is needed. It is not as coarse as typical driveway stone and is best used as fill, bedding, or non-traffic areas unless specified for a particular project. Pricing in Texas for Class 7 commonly sits between road base and finished stone, roughly $20-$40/ton delivered in Real County, depending on source and truck distance.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and typically offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Many areas have free or low-cost delivery, but rural Real County may have additional distance or fuel surcharges depending on supplier location and road access. You can check exact delivery fees and available dates by entering your zip code on our site or contacting our team.
Measure the area and calculate cubic yards before you order, and choose crusher run or Class 5 for subbase and a thinner layer of nicer stone for the top to save money. Ask about local suppliers' common colors and grades since regional sourcing affects appearance and availability, and request delivery quotes that include any rural surcharges. If you need help, call our team or use the material calculator on our site to get a tailored estimate for Real County.
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.
