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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Ennis Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ennis is a growing community with a city population of 28,923 and an annual growth rate of 4.59%. Located in West Texas, the area sees an annual rainfall of 38.15 inches, about 228 sunny days per year, and falls in USDA hardiness zone 8a. That combination of sun and periodic heavy rainfall drives steady demand for durable, well-draining materials as homeowners expand driveways, install low-maintenance landscaping, and repair erosion-prone spots. As construction and renovation activity increases across the broader region (metro area population of 2.5+ million), local projects need aggregates that balance appearance, drainage, and long-term stability. Homeowners choose quality gravel to control runoff, reduce mud, and create reliable base layers for pavers, walkways, and vehicle areas.Popular Projects in Ennis This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ennis gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ennis.
Expect delivered gravel in Ennis to vary by material and distance, commonly about $30 to $70 per ton delivered for standard driveway mixes. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; a typical 2-car driveway order (see quantity FAQ) will usually fall between roughly $250 and $1,000 total including delivery. Final price depends on the gravel type, supplier availability in the West Texas region, and any optional services like spreading.
For driveways in Ennis, crushed stone or crushed limestone (3/4" base with a 3/8" or 1/4" topcoat) is the most durable choice because it compacts well and resists migration. Pea gravel is attractive for walkways and patios but moves under vehicle traffic and may need edging and more frequent top-ups. Because West Texas can be hot and have sporadic heavy rains, choose materials with good drainage and consider a compacted subbase to prevent washouts.
Gravel needs depend on depth: for a standard 4" depth, 500 sq ft requires about 8.5 to 9 tons of gravel; at 6" depth it is about 13 to 14 tons. A typical 2-car driveway around 800 sq ft at 4" depth will need roughly 13 to 14 tons, and about 20 tons at 6" depth. These estimates use a common conversion (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard) so order a little extra to allow for compaction, grading, and regional density differences.
Crushed limestone generally lasts longer for walkways and patios under regular use because it locks together when compacted and resists movement. Pea gravel provides a softer, decorative surface but shifts under foot traffic and needs more frequent replenishing and edging. In Ennis's climate, crushed stone also handles occasional heavy rains and heat better with less routine maintenance.
Yes, gravel driveways can handle heavy trucks and farm equipment if they are built with a proper subbase: use a 6" to 12" compacted base of larger aggregate or road base, geotextile fabric where needed, and a well-compacted top layer. Thicker base, proper drainage, and periodic grading are key to preventing ruts and washouts. For very heavy or frequent loads, specify coarser base material and plan on more frequent maintenance.
With good drainage, proper compaction, and periodic maintenance, a compacted gravel patio or surface can perform well for 5 to 20 years before a major refresh is needed. Expect to add top-ups or spot repairs every 1 to 5 years, especially after heavy storms or washouts. Ennis's hot summers can dry material but are less punishing than northern freeze-thaw cycles; still, keep gutters and grading directed away from the surface to extend life.
Requirements vary: many residential properties in Ennis do not need a city permit for a private gravel driveway, but HOA rules and some local zoning or drainage ordinances may restrict surface materials. Before starting work, check with the City of Ennis planning department and any applicable HOA covenants to confirm setbacks, material rules, and stormwater requirements. When in doubt, request written approval to avoid later fines or rework.
Professional installation costs depend on site prep and complexity, but expect labor and installation to add roughly $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft for a basic driveway, on top of material costs. If quoted per ton, material may be $30 to $70 per ton delivered, plus $10 to $30 per ton installed for spreading, grading, and compaction depending on access and site work. Jobs with substantial excavation, drainage work, or asphalt/edge restraints will increase the price.
Gravel is often the most cost-effective upfront option for rural lanes and farm roads around Ennis because material and installation costs are lower and repairs are simpler. However, gravel requires regular grading, occasional regrading, and more frequent topping to control dust and ruts compared with asphalt or concrete. For low-traffic, flexible use, and easy maintenance, gravel is a good choice; for high-traffic or long-term low-maintenance needs, paved surfaces may be preferable despite higher initial cost.
You can buy bulk gravel through Hello Gravel's online marketplace, which connects you with local West Texas suppliers and haulers serving Ennis.

Check your zip code on Hello Gravel, choose your material, and add delivery notes for placement or spreading requests.
