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 Alief Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alief is a West Texas community with a city population of 1,018 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million, experiencing steady growth of 0.70% annually. With about 225 sunny days each year, an annual rainfall of 34.40 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate supports year-round outdoor work but also creates specific needs for durable, well-draining surfaces. Homeowners here frequently tackle driveway repairs, drainage upgrades, and low-water landscaping projects as development continues, which drives demand for reliable aggregates. Gravel is a go-to material because it resists washout, limits dust, and provides permeability that helps control runoff during storms while standing up to intense sun and heat. Gravel’s angular particles lock together to form stable, permeable surfaces that work well in Alief’s mix of sun and seasonal rain. Local gravel blends vary by source, so color and texture can differ; choose finer mixes for walkways and landscape beds and coarser mixes for driveways and French drains. Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers, coordinates professional dump-truck delivery with a 3 tons minimum, and offers clear pricing and scheduling (standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee). Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout and we’ll note it for the supplier to assess on arrival.Popular Projects in Alief This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alief gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Alief.
Delivered gravel prices in West Texas vary by material and supplier, but a typical range is about $30 to $70 per cubic yard for common crushed stone or pea gravel. Final price depends on stone type, local supply (regional sourcing), delivery distance, and any requested services; get an exact quote by checking your zip code or contacting Hello Gravel.
A tri-axle dump truck in West Texas typically carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards and total cost (material plus delivery) can range widely from about $400 to $1,200 or more depending on material type and distance. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion for an extra fee or request at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading — contact our team for a tailored quote.
A 10x10 area is 100 square feet. You will need about 0.62 cubic yards at 2" depth, 0.93 cubic yards at 3" depth, and 1.23 cubic yards at 4" depth. Order an extra 10-15% for compaction and waste, so round up to a whole yard when ordering.
One cubic yard of gravel covers approximately 162 sq ft at 2", 108 sq ft at 3", and 81 sq ft at 4". A typical tri-axle dump truck (about 10-14 cubic yards) therefore covers around 1,620–2,268 sq ft at 2", 1,080–1,512 sq ft at 3", or 810–1,134 sq ft at 4", depending on actual truck capacity.
Two inches is generally too thin for a residential driveway in West Texas; it may work for decorative walkways but not for vehicle traffic. For driveways we recommend at least 4 inches of compacted gravel over a well-prepared base for passenger cars, and 6+ inches if you expect heavy trucks or poor subgrade conditions.
For small jobs under a cubic yard, bagged gravel from a big-box store can be convenient but is usually the most expensive per cubic yard. Bulk delivery by the yard is typically cheapest for most homeowner projects, while a full dump truck load becomes cost-effective when you need many yards (often 10+ yards). Consider delivery minimums (Hello Gravel’s minimum is 3 tons — roughly 2 cubic yards) when comparing options.
Yes, homeowners can install pea gravel themselves with basic tools, but a durable installation usually requires extra steps: remove vegetation, add a compacted base rock, lay geotextile fabric for weed control, and install edge restraints. Expect additional costs for base material, fabric, edging, and possible equipment rental (plate compactor), plus labor time; getting a materials quote from Hello Gravel and estimating rental costs locally will give the best budget picture.
Pea gravel is affordable, drains well, and is comfortable for patios and walkways, but it shifts under vehicle traffic and can be hard to maintain on driveways. In West Texas heat and occasional heavy rains, pea gravel can migrate and trap heat; consider stabilizers, proper edging, or alternative aggregates for driveways where stability is important.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. If your wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 4 cubic feet, expect roughly 7 to 9 wheelbarrow loads per cubic yard. For bagged material, common bag sizes are 0.5 cu ft and 0.75 cu ft, so one cubic yard equals about 54 of the 0.5 cu ft bags or 36 of the 0.75 cu ft bags.
Costs vary with width, depth, base prep, and local labor rates, but a rough ballpark for a 20-foot-long single-car driveway (about 200 sq ft at 4" depth) is 2.5 to 3 cubic yards of gravel. Materials and delivery might run a few hundred dollars, while professional labor and prep can raise total installation costs into the low hundreds to a few thousand dollars; request a local quote from Hello Gravel and area contractors for a precise estimate.
Materials are sourced locally, so texture, color, and mineral content reflect West Texas geology — expect limestone, caliche, and crushed rock variations rather than exact photo matches. These regional differences affect drainage, compaction characteristics, and color; add notes in your order if you have color preferences and contact our team for material samples or guidance.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
