Why Crosby Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Crosby is a growing West Texas community with a city population of 32,480 and sitting inside a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually and expanding residential and light commercial development, homeowners increasingly need reliable materials for driveways, yards, and site prep. The local climate — approximately 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a plant hardiness zone of 8b — favors low-maintenance landscaping and effective drainage. That combination of sun, periodic heavy rains, and steady development is why many Crosby homeowners look for quality gravel: it stabilizes surfaces, improves runoff, resists rutting under heat, and provides an attractive, low-water groundcover option. Gravel in Crosby performs well because it promotes quick drainage during rain events and holds up under long stretches of sun, making it suitable for driveways, walkways, French drains, and xeriscaping. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate gravel, handles scheduling and delivery, and offers straightforward options like standard delivery with 2+ business days required or a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. We make ordering simple, coordinate dump-truck delivery, and help homeowners pick the right aggregate for Crosby conditions.Popular Projects in Crosby This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Crosby gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Crosby.
Delivered price varies by gravel type, supplier availability, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel does not publish a universal rate because prices change; use our zip-code checkout or contact our team for an up-to-date delivered price for Crosby, TX. Expect quotes within minutes and options for standard or next-day delivery.
Cost depends on material type, truck size, and delivery distance; request a quote for an exact delivered price to Crosby. Typical tri-axle dump trucks used in our network usually carry roughly 10 to 15 tons of gravel, and Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST.
For most Crosby driveways, crushed stone or crushed limestone with fines is the most cost-effective option because it compacts well and resists movement under vehicle traffic. Pea gravel and decorative gravels can be more expensive per ton and tend to migrate, so they require more edging and maintenance. Local availability can affect price and color, so check regional options when you order.
A 100 ft by 12 ft driveway is 1,200 sq ft. At 2" depth you need about 7.4 cubic yards or roughly 10.4 tons; at 3" about 11.1 cubic yards or 15.6 tons; and at 4" about 14.8 cubic yards or 20.7 tons (using ~1.4 tons per cubic yard). We recommend ordering 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft: at 2" depth you need about 2.5 cubic yards or roughly 3.5 tons, and at 3" about 3.7 cubic yards or 5.2 tons. That 2" job would require roughly 140 of 50-lb bags, so bulk delivery is usually faster and less labor-intensive; for projects around 3 tons or more bulk orders from Hello Gravel are typically more cost-effective than bags. Get a delivery quote for an accurate material-plus-delivery price for your Crosby address.
For Crosby's climate and typical soils we usually recommend a minimum of 3 inches of compacted gravel for light-use driveways and 4 inches for regular vehicle traffic. Two inches is acceptable only as a thin top dressing over a well-prepared, compacted base and is more likely to wash or shift during heavy rain. Proper base preparation and edge restraint are more important than thickness alone for long-term performance.
We do not recommend laying gravel directly over living grass; turf will rot and the gravel will sink and shift. Remove turf or topsoil and compact the subgrade for the best results; geotextile fabric is optional and can reduce weed growth and mixing of soil with stone, but it does not replace proper excavation and compaction. Removing turf and preparing a stable base may increase material needs slightly because of added subbase and compaction allowance.
Yes, decorative gravel is commonly used as mulch in Crosby landscapes and works well in hot, dry summers. For 100 sq ft: 2" depth needs about 0.86 tons, 3" about 1.3 tons, and 4" about 1.7 tons (approximate, using ~1.4 tons per cubic yard). Gravel mulch reduces watering and maintenance but may get hot in summer and allows less organic matter to reach soil compared with organic mulches.
For very small touch-ups (a few square feet) 50-lb bags can be convenient, but once your project needs more than about 1 to 2 tons, bulk delivery almost always becomes more cost-effective and far less labor. Keep in mind Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons in many areas, delivery is by dump truck, and bulk saves time and handling compared with hundreds of heavy bags. Get a quote to compare final delivered price to your address in Crosby.
A common long-term solution for Crosby is a compacted subbase (4-6" of road base or crushed stone) topped with 3-4" of crushed stone or limestone with fines; add edge restraints to keep material in place. To estimate ordering cost, calculate the tons you need (use our calculator or the ton estimates above), then request a delivered price for your Crosby zip code—Hello Gravel will show material options, delivery windows, and any next-day fees. For project planning, contact our team at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 for a tailored quote.

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.
