Gravel: Rain-Ready Drainage For Sugar Land • Next-Day Gravel Delivery In Sugar Land
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 Sugar Land Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a city population of 161,438, Sugar Land sits within the growing Houston-The Woodlands metro region (2.5+ million) and is experiencing steady development as the area expands at 1.85% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days a year, roughly 34.25 inches of rain annually, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—supports active landscaping and construction activity across residential neighborhoods. That combination of population growth, frequent sun, and periodic heavy rain drives strong demand for durable aggregate materials. Homeowners choose gravel for projects that need reliable drainage, low-maintenance surfaces, and erosion control—from driveways and garden paths to French drains and foundation backfill. In suburban lots where grading and stormwater management vary, consistent, well-graded gravel helps installations perform better and last longer.Popular Projects in Sugar Land This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sugar Land gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sugar Land.
Delivered gravel in the Sugar Land/Houston area commonly ranges from about $20 to $65 per ton depending on material type, size, and distance from the quarry. Convert to cubic yards by using a weight conversion (typical gravel ≈ 1.3–1.5 tons per cubic yard), so at $30/ton expect roughly $40–$45 per cubic yard. Final price depends on supplier, seasonal demand, and whether you need additional services like tailgate spreading or next-day delivery.
The most common driveway choices in Southeast Texas are crushed limestone, pea gravel, and crushed granite. Crushed limestone compacts well and is economical but can produce dust and compact into a hard surface that may develop potholes; pea gravel is decorative and drains well but shifts and sinks on clay and high-traffic areas; crushed granite is attractive, drains better than pea gravel, and offers good compaction and traction but costs more. Local clay soils and heavy rains tend to favor angular, crushed materials over rounded pea gravel for longer-lasting driveways.
For a 12 x 40 ft area (480 sq ft), estimate roughly: 2" depth ≈ 2.96 cubic yards ≈ 4.1 tons; 3" depth ≈ 4.44 cubic yards ≈ 6.2 tons; 4" depth ≈ 5.93 cubic yards ≈ 8.3 tons. These figures assume a common conversion of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard; always round up for compaction, waste, and grading—Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons. Consider adding a separate base layer (larger stone) under the top gravel for better performance on clay.
Sugar Land soils commonly have a heavy clay component and poor natural drainage, which can cause sinking, rutting, and washouts if gravel is placed directly on native soil. Proper preparation—grading, compacted sub-base, and geotextile fabric—helps isolate gravel from clay, improve drainage, and extend driveway life. Without that prep, gravel will move and require more frequent top-offs after heavy rains.
In clay and high-rainfall conditions, an angular crushed stone system works best: use a compactable base layer (larger crushed stone or crusher run) topped with 3/4" crushed limestone or crushed granite for the wearing surface. Angular stones interlock and resist movement, while a well-draining base and geotextile fabric reduce mixing with clay and washout. Avoid loose rounded gravels like pea gravel as a primary surface on clay because they tend to sink and migrate.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and quarries that deliver to Sugar Land; supplier options depend on your zip code and material choice. Typical minimum order on our platform is 3 tons, but some quarries or direct-mine deliveries may require larger minimums (a full cubic yard or tri-axle minimum), so check available options during checkout. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks.
Yes—many Sugar Land HOAs and some city neighborhoods have rules about front-yard materials, driveway materials, and visible parking surfaces. Check your HOA covenants and contact Sugar Land Building Inspections or Public Works to confirm any driveway permit, curb cut, or drainage requirements before installing gravel. Getting approval first avoids fines, required removals, or rework.
With proper installation and drainage, gravel driveways in Sugar Land can last 10–20 years or longer, but they require routine maintenance—periodic regrading, occasional top-offs of 1–3 tons every 2–5 years, and weed control. High-traffic areas, heavy rains, and clay subsoils increase maintenance frequency; expect more patching or regrading after severe storms. Using a compactable base and edging will reduce maintenance and prolong lifespan.
Gravel is generally the lowest upfront cost: roughly $1–$3 per sq ft installed for typical residential projects, while asphalt is midrange at about $3–$7 per sq ft, and pavers are the highest at $10–$25 per sq ft (local prices vary). Maintenance differs: gravel needs periodic regrading and topping, asphalt needs sealing and occasional patching, and pavers require joint maintenance and occasional resetting. Gravel is economical and easy to repair but can be less stable and require more frequent upkeep in Sugar Land's clay soils and heavy rains.
Check Sugar Land permitting rules for driveway permits, curb cuts, and any changes that affect stormwater flow; HOAs may also have requirements. Design for drainage by maintaining positive slope away from structures, adding swales or French drains where needed, installing geotextile fabric and edging to control gravel migration, and using erosion-control blankets or vegetation on slopes. Proper grading and a stable base are key to preventing erosion and runoff problems into neighboring properties or storm drains.
Order online at Hello Gravel by choosing your material, entering your Sugar Land zip code, and selecting a delivery date from the checkout calendar. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee, and tailgate spreading may be requested but is performed at the driver's discretion. Remember our platform minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by local contracted haulers.
A quick formula: (Area in square feet x Depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards needed. Then multiply cubic yards by about 1.3–1.5 to convert to tons (typical gravel ≈ 1.4 tons per cubic yard). For example, a 12x40 ft area at 3" depth: (480 x 3) / 324 ≈ 4.44 cubic yards, or roughly 6.2 tons; always round up and add 5–10% for waste and compaction.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
