Why Clear Lake Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Clear Lake is a growing West Texas city of 1.0+ million residents, expanding at a steady rate of 0.70% annually. With a hardiness zone of 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and average annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, local projects must handle both strong sun exposure and episodic heavy rain. That steady growth is driving more landscaping, driveway replacement, and home-improvement activity, increasing demand for reliable aggregates. Homeowners want gravel that drains well, resists washout during storms, and provides a stable surface for driveways, patios, and pathways. Clear specifications, local sourcing, and dependable delivery reduce rework and help projects stay on schedule in a market where construction and maintenance needs are steady and practical performance matters most.Popular Projects in Clear Lake This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Clear Lake gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Clear Lake.
For a residential driveway in Clear Lake, plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel for the wearing layer over a compacted subbase; paths and pedestrian areas often use 2 to 3 inches. Because soils near Clear Lake can be wetter and flatter, you may need a thicker base or a geotextile fabric to prevent settling and washout after heavy rain. Consult a local contractor if you have clay soils, poor drainage, or are in a flood-prone spot.
Avoid pea gravel where you have steep slopes, driveways, heavy vehicle traffic, or accessibility needs because it does not compact well and can shift under load. In the Clear Lake area, frequent heavy rains and occasional storm surge can cause pea gravel to wash or migrate, so it is not ideal near low spots or unprotected shorelines. For stable surfaces use angular crushed stone or consider a stabilizing grid.
Gravel can work well in Clear Lake because it drains faster than many mulches and resists rot in humid conditions. However, coastal influences and heavy rainfall mean you should focus on good grading, edging, and erosion control to keep gravel in place. Choose material and depth based on use—sharp crushed stone for driveways, finer gravel for decorative beds—and expect regional color and texture variation.
Possibly. Whether you need a permit depends on your city, county, and any homeowner association rules that apply in the Clear Lake area. Check local building codes and your HOA guidelines before ordering material, and confirm whether there are limits on impervious surface, setbacks, or allowed rock types. Hello Gravel recommends verifying requirements before scheduling delivery.
Most gravels, including pea gravel, are permeable and allow surface water to infiltrate better than compacted soils. That said, fine particles, compaction, high groundwater, or an underlying clay layer common in parts of the Clear Lake region can reduce infiltration. Use a proper base, geotextile fabric, and slope the area to encourage drainage away from structures.
Pea gravel is generally less expensive per ton than larger river rock because it is smaller, more common, and easier to handle. Prices in Clear Lake can vary with regional availability, truck delivery distance, and seasonal demand, so local quotes matter. Remember to compare coverage rates and delivery minimums when estimating total project cost.
Yes. Heavy storms, concentrated runoff, and coastal surge can move loose gravel, especially on unprotected slopes or low-lying areas common around Clear Lake. Prevent movement by installing solid edging, proper grading, drainage channels, and using larger or angular stone where wash is a concern. If you are in a floodplain, check local regulations and consider more permanent surfacing options.
As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of gravel will cover about 80 to 100 square feet at 2 inches of depth, though coverage depends on the product and compaction. Driveways typically need 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel, so calculate area and depth, then convert to tons; note that Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Use our material calculator or contact the sales team for a Clear Lake-specific estimate.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout and the driver will assess feasibility upon arrival. There are no guarantees of spreading, and complex jobs, tight access, or safety concerns may prevent it. If spreading is important, mention it in Order Notes and discuss options with our team in advance.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, the color, grain, and hardness of gravel in Clear Lake reflect local geology. That means product photos may not be an exact match; some variations in hue and texture are normal and do not affect performance. If color or specific characteristics matter for your project, request details in Order Notes or ask our team for local samples or descriptions.
To minimize dust and tracking choose a smaller, angular crushed stone or a mix with fines that compacts more tightly, and install solid edging to keep gravel contained. Regularly rake and top up high-traffic areas, and consider a polymer stabilizer or grid system for walkways and driveways to lock material in place. Good grading and surface drainage also reduce fine-particle migration after storms.
Be cautious. Placing gravel near wetlands, shorelines, or protected vegetation around Clear Lake may be restricted by local environmental rules and can impact runoff and habitat. Use erosion control best practices, maintain setbacks from sensitive areas, and check with local authorities before altering shorelines or drainage paths. For landscaping near water, choose erosion-resistant materials and professional guidance.
