Gravel: Sunproof Drainage For Bellaire Landscapes • Fast Local Gravel Delivery On Schedule
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 Bellaire Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bellaire, with a city population of 19,260 and located inside a West Texas metro area of 2.7+ million, pairs steady, measured growth (0.70% annually) with a climate that favors outdoor work: about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall annually in hardiness zone 8b. That combination—warm, sunny stretches punctuated by seasonal rain—keeps local homeowners invested in durable, low-maintenance landscaping and hardscape upgrades. Projects like resurfacing driveways, installing dry creek beds, fixing drainage swales, and laying paver patios all rely on quality aggregates. Homeowners choose gravel because it stabilizes surfaces, improves drainage after heavy showers, resists sun-driven breakdown, and offers a cost-effective base for pavers and pathways, making it a go-to material for both DIY and contractor-led work in Bellaire.Popular Projects in Bellaire This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bellaire gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Bellaire.
Delivered gravel prices in Bellaire vary by material, supplier, and delivery distance, but you can expect a typical range of about $30 to $60 per ton for common types. Smaller orders and specialty colors or washed products tend to be toward the high end, while bulk orders lower the per-ton price. Hello Gravel can provide an exact local quote for your zip code and the minimum order (3 tons) is worth keeping in mind.
Common types in the Bellaire area include crushed limestone (good for driveways and base layers), pea gravel (nice for patios and walkways but can shift under vehicles), crushed rock/3/4" stone (good for driveways and drainage), and river rock (decorative beds). Use angular crushed stone for stable driveways and edges, and smoother pea or river rock for low-traffic decorative areas. Regional sourcing means appearance can vary, so request photos or samples when possible.
Heat alone has minimal effect on gravel, but high temperatures can dry fine bedding material and loosen fines over time; heavy rains are the bigger issue, causing rutting and washouts on slopes and low spots. To reduce problems, use a compacted base, install edging, maintain proper slope and drainage, and keep a thicker, angular stone for high-traffic areas. Expect to regrade and add material after major storms.
A quick rule: one cubic yard of gravel covers 27 cubic feet and typically weighs about 1.4 tons. Example estimates at a 3" depth: 1-car (10' x 20') ≈ 200 sq ft ≈ 1.9 yd3 ≈ 2.5–3 tons; 2-car (20' x 20') ≈ 400 sq ft ≈ 3.7 yd3 ≈ 5–6 tons; 3-car (30' x 20') ≈ 600 sq ft ≈ 5.6 yd3 ≈ 7.5–8.5 tons. For driveways we usually recommend 4" depth for better durability; always round up 10–15% for settling and compaction and contact Hello Gravel's calculator for an exact amount.
Same-day delivery is uncommon but sometimes possible depending on supplier schedules and truck availability. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST, though it may carry an extra fee and depends on local supplier capacity. Standard delivery lead time is typically 2+ business days; you can select your preferred date at checkout.
Yes, suppliers usually lower the per-ton price for larger orders; discount thresholds differ by yard but common breaks occur at orders of 10 tons or more. Small loads under the minimum or split deliveries tend to have higher per-ton costs due to handling and truck routing. For the best rate, request a bulk quote from Hello Gravel and compare different material and delivery options.
Hiring a pro ensures proper grading, base installation, and compaction, which improves longevity; professionals in the Bellaire area commonly charge varying rates depending on scope, but expect to get multiple bids. DIY can save money if you have the time, tools, and ability to compact and install edging correctly — you may need to rent a plate compactor and loader or hire labor for spreading. If you choose DIY, plan for extra material, proper base preparation, and at least one compaction pass.
Typical maintenance is light grading and spot repair yearly and topping up 1 to 3 inches every 1–3 years depending on traffic and storm frequency. Heavy-traffic driveways or areas prone to washouts may need larger refreshes more often, while low-use decorative beds may go longer. Keep an eye on low spots and reapply material as needed rather than waiting for major degradation.
Gravel is the most budget-friendly and provides excellent drainage, which is helpful during heavy rains in Bellaire, but it requires more maintenance and can shift under heavy loads. Asphalt and concrete offer smoother, lower-maintenance surfaces and are better for heavy traffic and long-term permanence, but they cost more up front and retain heat. Choose gravel if you prioritize cost and drainage and are willing to maintain it; choose asphalt or concrete if you want a low-maintenance, permanent surface and higher initial investment.
Yes, local city codes and HOA covenants can affect driveway materials, setbacks, and visible landscaping choices, so always check Bellaire municipal ordinances and your HOA guidelines before ordering material. Some HOAs restrict loose or decorative stone, require edged borders, or mandate permit applications for driveway changes. If in doubt, contact your city planning office and HOA board before purchasing or installing gravel.
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.
