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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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 Downtown Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Downtown has a city population of 20,000 and is part of a broader metro area population of 4.6+ million that is expanding at an annual growth rate of 2.10%. With 218 sunny days/year, moderate annual rainfall of 38.97 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8a, homeowners here are often updating driveways, patios, and drainage systems to keep pace with development and weather patterns. That steady growth and favorable climate creates consistent demand for reliable aggregates: gravel is a go-to choice for erosion control, low‑maintenance landscapes, driveway bases, and French drains. Homeowners look for materials that compact well, shed water, and blend with local soils and stone — and regional sourcing means texture and color can vary by supplier. Gravel performs especially well in Downtown’s local environment because it encourages infiltration during the 38.97 inches of annual rainfall and stands up to the 218 sunny days/year common here. Angular crushed gravel is useful for stable drive surfaces and drainage applications in hardiness zone 8a, while smoother decorative gravel suits paths and patios. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers that stock regionally appropriate gravel, lets you schedule delivery online, and coordinates professional dump‑truck delivery. Request tailgate spreading at checkout; drivers may be able to perform it at their discretion, and our team can help choose the right product and quantity for your project.Popular Projects in Downtown This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Downtown gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Downtown.
In Downtown, Texas, delivered gravel usually ranges from about $30 to $60 per ton depending on the type (pea gravel, crushed limestone, etc.) and supplier. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons; many local deliveries include free delivery, but some areas or next-day requests may incur a delivery fee. Prices vary by region and material, so check your quote for exact charges and any hauling fees.
Crushed limestone or crushed rock are the most common choices because they compact well and form a stable driving surface over clay subgrades. Pea gravel can be attractive but shifts more on clay and requires stronger edging; decomposed granite works for low-traffic areas but may rut when wet. For most Downtown driveways, use crushed stone with a compacted base and proper edging for best long-term performance.
A 2-car driveway (about 20x20) needs roughly 5 tons at 3" depth and about 7 tons at 4" depth. A 1/4-acre area (about 10,890 sq ft) covered 2" deep requires roughly 90-100 tons. A 10x20 patio at 2" depth is about 1.5 to 2 tons. These are estimates; use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or submit dimensions for a precise quote.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days after ordering, which is consistent across the Hello Gravel network in the Texas Region. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Lead times for contractor installation or custom mixes vary—contact Hello Gravel or local suppliers directly for current availability.
Some Downtown HOAs or historic districts in the Texas Region have rules about front-yard appearance, permeable surface requirements, or materials allowed, so restrictions do exist in certain neighborhoods. City permits are usually not required for small residential gravel projects, but large changes to drainage or driveway expansions may need permits. Check your HOA guidelines and call the city planning department before ordering to avoid compliance issues.
Gravel performs well for drainage in hot and rainy conditions if installed over a well-prepared base and graded to shed water. Clay soils in Downtown can hold water and cause rutting or settling if the subgrade is not corrected, so proper base, compaction, and edge restraint are important. Occasional freezes have limited direct effect, but freeze-thaw cycles can worsen drainage problems on a poor subgrade.
Contractor costs vary by site prep needs; expect roughly $3 to $7 per square foot for a typical gravel driveway including grading, base material, compaction, and edging. For a 20x20 (400 sq ft) driveway that usually runs about $1,200 to $2,800 installed, depending on how much base work and drainage are required. Get several bids and confirm what is included (fabric, base rock, compaction, edges) before hiring.
Most gravel surfaces in Downtown need light maintenance annually—raking, regrading low spots, and controlling weeds—and a topping-up every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and rainfall. High-traffic driveways or areas with poor drainage may need more frequent replenishment. Expect topping-up costs to be the delivered material price times the tons required; simple annual maintenance tools or contractor visits typically cost modestly compared with hardscaping.
Gravel generally offers better immediate drainage and lower upfront material cost than asphalt or pavers, making it a good option for pervious surfaces and budget-conscious projects. However, gravel requires more regular maintenance (regrading and topping up) and can shift under heavy or frequent vehicular loads compared with asphalt or pavers. In Downtown’s clay soils, proper subgrade and drainage are critical; for heavy use or low-maintenance needs, asphalt or pavers may be worth the higher initial cost.
Start with removal of poor topsoil, then install a geotextile fabric to separate clay from aggregate, followed by 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone or road base for vehicle areas. Provide positive grading away from structures and add perimeter drains or a French drain where water collects. Edge restraints, compaction with a plate compactor, and ensuring downspouts are routed away from the gravel all improve long-term stability.
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.
