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 Converse Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Converse, West Texas, is a growing community of 58,520 residents located in a region expanding at about 2.10% annually. With a hardiness zone of 8b, roughly 214 sunny days each year, and 32.00 inches of annual rainfall, the local climate encourages outdoor living and frequent landscaping improvements. That steady population and ongoing development create consistent demand for reliable bulk materials for driveways, patios, drainage, and foundation backfill. Homeowners and small contractors often prefer gravel for its affordability, quick installation, and low maintenance compared with paved surfaces. In a market where new construction, lot grading, and water-management projects are common, having access to consistent, well-graded gravel helps keep projects moving on schedule and avoids delays caused by sourcing or delivery issues.Popular Projects in Converse This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Converse gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Converse.
For most Converse driveways, crushed limestone or local caliche (3/4" minus or 3/4"-1" crushed stone) works best because it compacts well and handles local clay soils. These materials provide a stable, low-maintenance surface for cars and trucks. If you want a decorative finish, top with 3/8" pea gravel or river rock, but keep a compactable base underneath.
Gravel can improve surface drainage and reduce standing water by allowing faster infiltration than paved surfaces, which helps in many Converse yards. Use permeable layers, proper grading, and drainage features like gravel swales or French drains for best results. For properties in known flood-prone spots, consult local flood maps and a site-specific plan—gravel helps but is not a flood control solution on its own.
Yes, Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers that deliver to Converse—check your zip code on the site to confirm availability. Our minimum order is 3 tons, standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck and tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is done at the driver’s discretion.
Calculate volume by multiplying area (sq ft) by depth (ft) and dividing by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.35 to estimate tons for common local gravels. For example, a 500 sq ft area at 2" depth is 500×(2/12)/27 ≈ 3.09 cubic yards, or roughly 4.2 tons. Use our online material calculator or contact our team for a precise quote based on the specific gravel type and local densities.
Because Hello Gravel sources locally, Converse customers typically see limestone and caliche with tan, buff, and light gray tones, plus some darker crushed stone depending on supplier. Rounded river rock and pea gravel with varied colors are also available but may be sourced from slightly farther away. Natural variation is normal, so expect some color and texture differences from photos.
Gravel performs well in Converse’s hot summers and mild winters; it does not crack like asphalt and tolerates heat. You may see more dust and some shifting after heavy rains, so proper compaction, edging, and periodic top-ups help maintain performance. For areas with periodic heavy storms, add larger stone in drainage paths to resist washout.
City rules and HOA covenants vary, so check Converse city codes and any neighborhood HOA guidelines before installing gravel. Some HOAs or subdivisions restrict colors, materials, or require edging and dust control. If you are unsure, contact city planning or your HOA for guidance before ordering materials.
Routine maintenance includes raking to redistribute stone, adding fresh gravel every few years where it thins, and keeping vegetation under control with edging and a weed barrier if desired. After heavy rains, inspect for washouts and regrade low spots; for dust, consider a finer top layer or a stabilizer product. Regular light maintenance keeps gravel functional and attractive in Converse's climate.
You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers will only perform spreading at their discretion based on safety and site conditions. If spreading is important, note it in Order Notes and prepare the site by clearing obstacles and marking utilities. We cannot guarantee spreading, and additional fees may apply if a supplier offers this service.
For walkways and patios in Converse, 3/8" pea gravel or decomposed granite are popular because they are comfortable underfoot and compact reasonably well. Decomposed granite compacts to a firm surface and is good for patios, while pea gravel drains well but may shift more underfoot. Choose materials based on desired look, maintenance level, and whether you want a permeable surface.
Yes, properly installed gravel with a well-graded slope away from the foundation helps reduce mud and standing water around homes in Converse. Use a compacted base and a larger stone layer in high-flow areas to prevent washout. For chronic drainage issues, combine gravel with grading, gutters, and downspout extensions for the best protection.
Summer heat can make handling and spreading more dusty, and heavy rains during stormy periods can delay delivery or cause washouts after placement. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days and next-day is available before noon CST; schedule deliveries away from forecasted storms when possible. Ordering ahead of busy landscaping seasons helps secure preferred delivery dates.
Most residential gravel deliveries do not require city permits, but check local codes if you are doing driveway reconstruction, curb cuts, or work in the public right-of-way. Be aware that tri-axle dump trucks are heavy; ensure your driveway approach can handle truck weight or arrange a drop location on stable ground. If you have an HOA, confirm any material or aesthetic restrictions before delivery.
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.
