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 College Station Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
College Station is a growing city of 83,607 residents with a broader metro area population of 273,000 and steady expansion at 1.80% annually. With a climate that averages 224 sunny days and about 40.00 inches of rain each year and sitting in USDA hardiness zone 8a, local landscaping and construction projects must balance sun, occasional heavy rainfall, and warm-season plantings. That steady growth—fueled in part by Texas A&M and related development—drives demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, drainage, pathways, and foundation backfill. Homeowners in College Station look for materials that withstand runoff, limit erosion, and reduce maintenance under frequent sun exposure, so quality gravel is often chosen for its durability, permeability, and low upkeep compared with organic surfaces. Gravel in College Station performs well for French drains, sloped yards, permeable driveways, and patio bases because it sheds water while allowing infiltration—important given the region’s roughly 40.00 inches of annual rainfall. Sun and heat help keep surfaces dry quickly after storms, reducing compaction and rutting when properly installed on a compacted base. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to local suppliers and professional haulers, offering clear pricing, scheduled delivery, and material guidance so you get the right size and quantity for your site. Order online, choose your delivery date, and rely on regional sourcing so gravel matches College Station’s geology and performance needs.Popular Projects in College Station This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - College Station gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in College Station.
Delivered prices vary by type and supplier, but expect roughly $30 to $70 per ton for common gravels in College Station, with decorative or specialty mixes costing more. Local factors like haul distance, seasonal demand, and whether delivery includes spreading will affect the final price, so get a delivered quote before ordering.
For College Station's clay-sandy soils, angular crushed limestone or crushed gravel are usually best because they lock together and resist rutting. Pea gravel tends to shift and decomposed granite can become sticky in clay or wash out in heavy rains, so use those mainly for walkways or decorative areas with good drainage.
For a 20x30 ft (600 sq ft) driveway at a 4-inch compacted depth, you need about 7.4 cubic yards, which is roughly 10 to 11 tons of 3/4" crushed gravel. Order an extra 5-10% to allow for compaction and spreading, so plan on about 11 to 12 tons to be safe.
Regulations vary: many HOAs in College Station prohibit loose gravel for aesthetic reasons, and some require specific surfacing or edging. The City of College Station generally regulates driveway approaches and work in the public right-of-way, so check your HOA covenants and call College Station Building Inspections or Planning before installing a new gravel driveway.
Hot, humid summers have little direct impact, but occasional heavy rains can cause washouts and rutting, especially over clay soils that hold water. Proper slope, edge restraint, a compacted base, and good drainage measures are essential to reduce erosion and keep the surface stable after storms.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Many local suppliers include free delivery for larger orders within city limits, but small loads, long driveways, or difficult access can add $50 to $150 or more in delivery or access fees.
Gravel is usually cheaper upfront than asphalt or concrete, but it requires more ongoing maintenance like regrading and adding material every few years. Over 10 years, gravel can still be cost-effective for many homeowners if you account for regular maintenance; for a long-term, low-maintenance solution, paved options may cost more initially but need less frequent repairs.
For a parking pad in Brazos County clay-sandy soil, prepare a well-compacted subgrade, install geotextile fabric if drainage is poor, and place 6 to 8 inches of compacted base material (crushed stone). Finish with a 2 to 3 inch surface layer of 3/4" crushed gravel or similar angular stone and install edge restraints to keep material in place.
Most homeowners in College Station regrade or add some gravel every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and storm exposure; high-traffic driveways may need attention yearly. Typical annual costs for topping up a medium driveway are modest, often in the $50 to $300 range for material and delivery, but costs rise with larger areas or frequent storm damage.
Yes, Hello Gravel connects customers with local suppliers and can often recommend haulers or contractors who offer compaction and edging services in the College Station area.
