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.

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.

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 Armstrong Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Armstrong is a small West Texas community with a city population of 60 and is part of a larger metro area with a population of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.00% annually, Armstrong sees steady, measured development rather than rapid expansion. The local climate averages 228/year sunny days and 34.32 inches of rain annually, and sits in hardiness zone 8b, which together create a demand for low-maintenance, weather-resistant landscaping and site materials. Homeowners here often need aggregates that handle both bright sun and periodic rainfall: durable surfaces for driveways, well-draining bases for patios, and erosion-control stone for sloped yards. Because local projects must balance aesthetics with performance, many Armstrong residents look for consistent sizing, regional color matches, and materials that compact well and resist washout during storm events.Popular Projects in Armstrong This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Armstrong gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Armstrong.
A 12x40 foot driveway is 480 sq ft. At 3 inches (0.25 ft) you need about 4.44 cubic yards, which is roughly 5.8 tons using a common conversion of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3 tons. At 6 inches (0.5 ft) you need about 8.89 cubic yards or roughly 11.6 tons. We recommend ordering about 10% extra for compaction and waste, so plan for about 6.5–7 tons for 3 inches and about 12.5–13 tons for 6 inches; Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons.
Local prices vary with supply and distance, but typical West Texas ranges are: crushed limestone or road base $15–$45 per ton ($20–$60 per cubic yard), pea gravel $30–$70 per ton ($40–$90 per cubic yard), and decomposed granite $30–$60 per ton ($40–$80 per cubic yard). Hello Gravel displays upfront pricing for your zip code at checkout, and rural deliveries can change final cost due to distance or truck access.
For Armstrong's hot climate and clay subsoils, crushed limestone or a 3/4" road base (crushed rock with fines) are most reliable because they compact and lock together, resisting rutting. Decomposed granite can make a firm surface in low-traffic areas but may need edging and good drainage to avoid washouts. Pea gravel is attractive but tends to shift on clay and slopes, so use it as a top layer or decorative area rather than the primary structural material.
Excavate soft clay down to stable subgrade, add a geotextile fabric over the subgrade if drainage is poor, then install 4–8 inches of road base for a driveway, compacting in 2- to 3-inch lifts with a vibratory plate compactor or roller. Use a grader or skid steer to shape grades and slopes and a compactor to achieve a firm surface. For larger jobs, contractors commonly use a small roller or tandem drum roller for best compaction.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days and many areas get free delivery, but in rural West Texas like Armstrong delivery fees often depend on distance, truck type, and final access; typical rural delivery fees range from about $25 to $150. Exact fees appear at checkout, so check your zip code or contact our team to get a firm delivery quote.
Expect light upkeep like raking and minor regrading once a year, and plan for a fresh topping of gravel every 3–5 years for residential driveways depending on traffic, storm runoff, and slope. Areas exposed to strong winds or concentrated runoff may need more frequent attention or additional erosion controls. Proper base installation and drainage reduce maintenance frequency.
Crushed granite (or gravel) has the lowest upfront cost and is quick to install, often $1–$3 per sq ft installed, but requires ongoing maintenance and periodic topping. Asphalt and concrete cost more up front—roughly $3–$7 per sq ft for asphalt and $6–$12 per sq ft for concrete—but generally need less frequent topping and provide smoother, longer-lasting surfaces. If long-term durability and low maintenance are priorities and budget allows, asphalt or concrete outperform gravel; for lower cost and rural character, crushed granite remains a practical choice.
Armstrong itself is a very small community, and many rural West Texas properties fall under county rules rather than city ordinances, but rules vary widely. If you are in an HOA or in a nearby municipality, check HOA covenants and county building or planning offices before installing gravel in visible front yards or curb areas. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or your county office for guidance before ordering.
For slopes, use larger angular crushed stone (1"–2") or crushed rock with a graded base layered with geotextile fabric to anchor material and promote drainage. Road base and crushed limestone with a mix of fines form a stable surface that resists erosion when compacted and paired with terraces, swales, or retaining walls. Avoid loose small pea gravel on steep slopes unless contained by edging and proper runoff controls.
Annual maintenance for a gravel driveway in Armstrong typically ranges from $50 to $300 for regrading, filling potholes, and spot topping, plus periodic material costs when replenishing surface stone. With good base preparation and annual upkeep, a well-built gravel driveway can function for 10–20 years before a major refresh; heavier-use or poorly drained drives may need more frequent work. Concrete and asphalt have higher upfront costs but generally lower annual maintenance.
Measure area carefully and use Hello Gravel's material calculator or the 10% waste rule to avoid underordering; remember the minimum order is 3 tons. Request delivery notes for access constraints, mention any steep driveways or unpaved approaches, and select tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider it, knowing it is at their discretion. Finally, plan base prep and drainage before delivery to avoid having material sit unused on soft ground.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
