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 Rockwell Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rockwell has a population of 9,730 and sits within a growing regional market (metro area population: 2.3+ million) with an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—means yards see a mix of sun exposure and seasonal wet periods. That combination drives steady demand for reliable aggregates to manage runoff, prevent erosion, and create durable driveways and paths as homes are renovated or expanded. Homeowners and contractors need clear guidance on sizes, quantities, and placement so projects perform well through both dry spells and rainy months. Gravel is well suited to Rockwell’s conditions because properly graded mixes and angular crushed stone keep water moving while providing a stable surface for driveways, walkways, and drainage systems. Typical local uses include French drains, driveway base layers, and landscape beds using 3/4" to 1" gravel or similar mixes. Hello Gravel sources materials from nearby suppliers, coordinates professional dump-truck delivery (minimum orders start at 3 tons), and offers standard delivery that typically requires 2 business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. Request placement notes at checkout; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion.Popular Projects in Rockwell This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rockwell gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rockwell.
Typical retail prices in the Rockwell area vary by type and grade. Expect roughly $30 to $75 per ton for common gravels (crushed stone and driveway mixes) and more for decorative or specialty gravels; exact pricing appears at checkout. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery or special handling may add to the total.
Most suppliers use tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards, which equals roughly 14 to 20 tons of gravel depending on material density. Smaller trucks are sometimes used for restricted sites, so exact tonnage depends on the truck type and the product ordered.
Cost depends on the material and truck size, but a typical tri-axle load often runs in the ballpark of $400 to $1,500 in the Rockwell area. That range reflects per-ton price, total tonnage, and any delivery or access fees; get an exact quote through our checkout or sales team.
Using 1 ton ≈ 0.75 cubic yard (10 tons ≈ 7.5 cubic yards), coverage depends on depth: at 1 inch about 2,430 sq ft, at 2 inches about 1,215 sq ft, and at 3 inches about 810 sq ft. These are estimates; actual coverage varies with stone size, compaction, and site conditions.
No — 2 inches alone is generally too thin for a driveway. For a durable gravel driveway in Rockwell we recommend a 4 to 6 inch compacted base of larger stone with a 2 to 3 inch surface layer of finer gravel. Proper base and drainage will reduce rutting and maintenance over time.
For well drain-back and filter pack use clean, washed 3/4" gravel or #57 stone, which promotes drainage and resists fines clogging the screen. Check local well codes and consult your well contractor before installing, as some wells require specific gradation.
Crusher fines (rock dust or limestone screenings) compact into a firm, almost hard surface when properly installed and compacted, but they do not gain the strength of concrete. They work well for compacted walkways and patios, though they can produce dust and may wash in heavy rain without edging or stabilizers.
Yes — Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers that serve Rockwell. Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Note our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery timing is confirmed at checkout.
Not always. Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and particle shape reflect local geology and can vary from photos. You can add color or size preferences in Order Notes, and our team can help you identify the closest match.
Yes — you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, and drivers may perform it at their discretion after assessing site access and safety. This service is not guaranteed, so plan for the possibility that spreading may not be done.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible by phone or text; changes are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications are not guaranteed once a truck is scheduled.
Measure length, width, and desired depth to get cubic feet, convert to cubic yards (divide by 27), then convert to tons using an estimated density (about 1 ton ≈ 0.75 cubic yard for many gravels). Use our online material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions and project type for help with a precise estimate.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

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.
