Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

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.

(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).

Why East Congress Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
East Congress has a city population of 976,000 and sits inside a rapidly expanding Texas region with a metro area population of 4.6+ million and a growth rate of 2.10% annually. That steady growth drives demand for residential and light commercial projects—driveways, patios, French drains, and garden paths—that rely on dependable aggregates. With an annual rainfall of 38.97 inches and 218 sunny days each year, homeowners here need materials that handle both heavy downpours and long dry spells. Gravel is a versatile, low-maintenance choice that provides durable surfacing, improved drainage, and erosion control while reflecting the local geology and color palette. In East Congress’s hardiness zone 8a climate, appropriately sized gravel reduces pooling during storms and resists compaction from heat and frequent use. Pea gravel and 3/4" crushed stone are common local choices—pea for walkways and decorative beds, crushed stone for driveways and base layers. Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and professional haulers who source materials regionally, provide transparent pricing, and schedule deliveries so your project stays on track without the hassle of coordinating multiple vendors.Popular Projects in East Congress This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - East Congress gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in East Congress.
Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect roughly $30 to $60 per ton for common gravels in East Congress, TX. Specialty stones or colored decorative rock can cost more, and delivery, minimum order (3 tons), and local availability will affect the final price.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel; total cost for a truckload delivered to East Congress usually ranges from about $400 to $1,200 depending on the material, distance, and any access challenges. For an exact price get a quote through Hello Gravel since rates vary by supplier and haul distance.
One ton equals 2,000 pounds, and one cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 1.3 to 1.4 tons, so 1 ton is about 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards. Whether it fits depends on your truck's payload rating and bed volume; check your vehicle's payload capacity before loading to avoid overloading the truck.
Measure the area (length x width in feet) and decide on depth in inches, then use cubic yards = (square feet x inches) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons by multiplying by about 1.35 (approximate tons per cubic yard for typical gravel), and add 5-10% extra for compaction and waste. You can also use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a quick estimate.
Crushed limestone or 'crush-and-run' base is common in East Congress for driveways because it compacts well and resists rutting, while #57 stone or pea gravel makes a good top layer for appearance and drainage. For heavy rainfall areas or French drains, use clean washed rock sized 3/4" to 1" to promote good flow; talk to our team for local recommendations based on your soil and slope.
It is not recommended to simply spread gravel over live grass or fresh seed because the gravel will smother vegetation and lead to uneven settling. Best practice is to remove vegetation, grade the area, install landscape fabric if desired, then lay gravel to ensure a stable, long-lasting surface.
Gravel can absorb and radiate heat, which may raise temperatures near plant roots and stressed plants during East Congress's hot summers. Choosing lighter-colored stone, providing adequate soil volume for plants, and maintaining edging can reduce heat effects and protect nearby vegetation.
Materials are sourced regionally so color, texture, and size vary with local geology; photos are representative but not exact. If color is important, note preferences in your order notes and contact our team for images of local stock when available.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion and if it can be done safely, but this service is not guaranteed and cannot be promised at checkout. If you need guaranteed spreading or precise placement, plan to arrange a spreading crew or request a quote for labor ahead of delivery.
Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days, while next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Availability depends on supplier stock and local trucking schedules, so check your zip code and select a delivery date at checkout.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations; modifications are easiest before the order is dispatched to the supplier or truck. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but changes cannot be guaranteed once the order is in transit.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
