Product description

Fire pit base is smooth, rounded river gravel that makes a clean, level foundation for a backyard fire pit. It spreads into an even layer that sets the base for your pit, drains well so water doesn't pool underneath, and gives the area a finished look underfoot. Easy to pour, rake level, and walk on, it's a simple way to build out a fire pit spot in your yard. Hello Gravel delivers it in bulk by dump truck across the Fort Worth area.

I purchased 8 tons of 3/4 crushed stone for a project at my off-grid eco-village. The area where I live is a little tricky to get large deliveries to but with some amazing help from Cadian, I managed to get the delivery within the tight-timeline. Cadian was on top of all the communications I sent him both text and email, he definitely made my experience much pleasant than it could have been. I would work with these guys again because they know what good customer support looks like.

Hello Gravel found me while I was looking for dirt to fill a hole that opened up in my back yard. I originally searched on DirtMatch and when I spoke with Chuck I was originally quoted for 1 ton of dirt. After showing pictures it turned out I needed less than half of that. Chuck talked me through the process of picking the right soil, how to fill the hole, and where to get what I needed from the Lowes local to me. Uploaded pictures of how we found it, after we dug out all the overhang and cleaned it out, and after we filled it in. I saved $400 by talking with Chuck and it only took like 3 hours. I wasn't even an official customer and Chuck took the time to help me with the hole in my yard. And on a weekend no less!!! What I'm saying is if you're looking for honest, kind, caring people to help you with your job. From my experience, this is the place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the calculator with the width of your pit area and a 2–3" depth. Most backyard fire pit pads are a few feet wider than the pit itself.
Delivered by dump truck across the Fort Worth area. Choose a drop spot that's accessible, level, and clear of vehicles or overhead obstructions.
Use it as the surrounding base or pad, not as fill inside the pit where flames sit. Smooth river-type stones can trap moisture and may crack or pop if heated directly, so keep the gravel around and under the pit structure rather than in the burning area, and pair it with a proper fire ring or pit insert.
Because it's rounded, the gravel shifts underfoot — edging around the fire pit area keeps it contained and laying landscape fabric underneath keeps it from sinking into the soil.
Bulk aggregate, soil, sand, and mulch are not returnable once delivered. Use the calculator and round up slightly if your measurements are close.
