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 Tomball Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tomball, West Texas, has a city population of 105,130 and sits within a metro area of 7.1+ million. With a steady growth rate of 1.80% annually, more homeowners are taking on landscaping, driveway, and yard improvement projects that require reliable aggregates. The local climate—about 205/year sunny days and roughly 50.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 9a—means homeowners need materials that handle both heavy sun and periods of intense wet weather. Gravel is a practical choice for many of these projects because it improves drainage, resists rutting under vehicle traffic, and requires less maintenance than organic surfaces. For homeowners in a growing market, selecting the right size and gradation of gravel helps prevent erosion, reduce standing water, and provide a stable surface for driveways, patios, and walkways.Popular Projects in Tomball This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tomball gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Tomball.
Delivered gravel in Tomball usually ranges by type: basic crushed gravel or drive stone often runs about $25 to $50 per ton, crushed limestone $30 to $60 per ton, and decorative river rock or specialty gravels can be $50 to $120 per ton. Final price depends on material type, pickup distance, load size (minimum orders often start at 3 tons), and any delivery or spreading fees, so check your zip code for exact pricing.
For Tomball driveways, crushed limestone or crushed stone (3/4" minus) is common because it compacts well and provides a stable surface. For paths, pea gravel or decomposed granite is comfortable underfoot but may shift more in heavy rain; river rock is decorative but not ideal for driveways because it rolls. Pick a crushed product if you need stability, and choose decorative stones for low-traffic beds or accents.
Tomball’s warm, humid climate and occasional heavy rains speed vegetation growth between stones and can wash loose gravel from slopes and edges. Expect more frequent weed control and occasional spot regrading after storms; good base preparation and proper drainage reduce long-term maintenance. Adding a polymeric stabilizer or edging can also help keep gravel in place in humid, rainy conditions.
For a typical 2-car driveway about 20 ft wide by 40 ft long (800 sq ft), plan on 3 inches of top gravel for resurfacing (about 10 to 14 tons) and 4 to 6 inches if building a full gravel section (about 14 to 21 tons). Use 1.4 tons per cubic yard as a rule of thumb and increase quantities for grading, compaction, or slope. If you need a compacted crushed base layer, budget an extra 6 to 8 inches of base stone under the top layer.
Rules vary widely in Tomball and across neighborhoods; some HOAs restrict visible gravel types, colors, or front-yard coverage, while the City of Tomball may have drainage or setback requirements. Before ordering, check your HOA covenants and contact Tomball City Hall or local permitting offices if you are uncertain. When in doubt, get written approval from your HOA to avoid fines or required removal.
On clay soils, start with good grading to create a crown for water shedding, install a geotextile fabric to separate clay from the gravel, and lay a 4 to 8 inch compacted base of crushed rock before the top gravel. Edge restraints and proper compaction are important to prevent lateral movement, and drainage solutions like side swales or French drains can stop water from undermining the base. Proper preparation reduces rutting and washouts common in clay-rich yards.
Frequency depends on slope, traffic, and storm intensity: in higher-traffic driveways or sloped areas you may need spot replenishment after major storms and a full top-up every 1 to 3 years. Low-traffic areas or well-prepared installations can go 3 to 5 years between larger additions. Using edge restraints, good base compaction, and proper drainage will reduce how often you need to add material.
Gravel is usually the least expensive upfront and offers excellent permeability, letting rain soak into the ground rather than running off like concrete. Concrete and pavers are more expensive to install and maintain but provide lower long-term maintenance and greater load-bearing strength; pavers offer better drainage than solid concrete if installed with joint sand. Choose gravel if cost and drainage are priorities, and choose concrete or pavers if you want a low-maintenance, high-load surface.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted trucking fleets that deliver bulk gravel to Tomball addresses, with standard delivery in 2+ business days and optional next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout—but it is not guaranteed, so plan for potential self-spreading or hiring a local crew. Check your zip code on our site for supplier availability and exact delivery options.
Gravel is generally more permeable than impervious surfaces, so it helps reduce stormwater runoff when placed over a permeable base and on well-draining soils. However, in Tomball’s clay-heavy areas, infiltration can be limited unless you provide a permeable base or drainage layers, so grading and underdrain systems may still be needed. For best results, combine gravel with swales, rain gardens, or permeable borders to manage stormwater on-site.
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.
