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.
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 Fairbanks / Northwest Crossing Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fairbanks / Northwest Crossing is a growing community with a city population of 30,000 and access to a metro area of 4.6+ million residents. With a steady annual growth rate of 2.10% and a climate that averages 218 sunny days per year and 38.97 inches of rain annually (hardiness zone 8a), homeowners here are routinely investing in outdoor projects, driveways, and drainage upgrades. That combination of growth and weather creates steady demand for quality aggregates: gravel is a go-to material for driveways, French drains, garden paths, and base layers because it balances permeability, stability, and cost. Local buyers look for material that sheds water during heavy rains, resists rutting on repeated vehicle use, and stays comfortable in frequent sun exposure.Popular Projects in Fairbanks / Northwest Crossing This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fairbanks / Northwest Crossing gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fairbanks / Northwest Crossing.
Delivered gravel prices in the Northwest Crossing area usually vary by type and supplier. As a rough guide: pea gravel often runs about $40 to $70 per ton (roughly $56 to $98 per cubic yard), crushed limestone about $25 to $45 per ton (about $35 to $63 per cubic yard), and base rock about $20 to $40 per ton (about $28 to $56 per cubic yard). Final price depends on your exact zip code, delivery distance, truck access, and minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons).
The northwest Houston corridor is served by a mix of local limestone quarries, sand-and-gravel pits, recycled concrete yards, and aggregate distributors within about 20 to 50 miles. Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and haulers in your zip code so you can see available materials and pricing. When ordering, ask the supplier for the material name, gradation or spec, and whether it is quarried or recycled so you know what you will receive.
Costs vary with size, depth, and site prep, but expect a broad installed-price range of about $900 to $3,600 for a single-car driveway (roughly 12 ft by 50 ft) in the Northwest Crossing area. Materials-only for that size commonly run $300 to $1,000 depending on type and delivery, with labor and site work (grading, compaction, edging) making up the rest. Get an in-person estimate for driveways with slopes, poor existing soils, or heavy truck access, since those raise costs.
For driveways in hot, humid Northwest Houston, a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of 3/4" minus crushed stone or recycled concrete with a 1 to 2 inch surface layer of crushed limestone or polished gravel works well. For patios, 4 inches of compacted 3/4" crushed stone with an optional 1-inch bedding of finer material is typical under pavers; pea gravel is OK for low-traffic patio areas but not for slopes. For erosion control, use larger angular stone (1" to 3" or riprap) with geotextile fabric; avoid loose pea gravel on steep grades because heavy summer rains will wash it away.
Clay soils in the Fairbanks / Northwest Crossing area hold water and can cause settlement, rutting, and poor drainage under gravel surfaces after heavy rains. To improve longevity, contractors typically add a thicker compacted base, install edge restraints, slope surfaces for runoff, and place geotextile fabric to separate clay from aggregate. Regular maintenance after storm seasons—regrading, adding material, and restoring crown—also extends service life.
Many Northwest Houston subdivisions and HOAs, including parts of Northwest Crossing, have design covenants that regulate driveway materials and front-yard surfaces, and some prohibit loose gravel visible from the street. City or county permits are less common for private driveways, but architectural review committee (ARC) or HOA approval is often required before making visible changes. Check your HOA covenants and contact Hello Gravel or your local building department before ordering to avoid having to remove or alter the work.
A simple contractor formula is: tons = area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27 (to get cubic yards) x material weight factor (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for most gravel). For example, a 12 ft x 50 ft driveway (600 sq ft) with a 3-inch surface requires about 8 tons, a 6-inch compacted base about 16 tons, and both layers combined roughly 24 tons. Always round up for compaction losses and driveway transitions, and confirm the supplier's tons-per-yard conversion for the exact material you choose.
Frequency depends on traffic, storm exposure, and material: light-use areas usually need a top-up every 2 to 5 years, while heavily used driveways or storm-damaged spots may need annual attention. Typical delivered material costs are $30 to $70 per ton; a small refresh for a residential driveway is often $100 to $500, while larger replenishments can run $300 to $1,000 or more including delivery and spreading. Routine maintenance—raking, weed control, and regrading after rain—reduces how often you must add new material.
Start by entering your zip code on Hello Gravel to see available gravel types and local pricing; minimum orders are 3 tons and delivery is by dump truck. Select the gravel type and delivery date, request tailgate spreading in Order Notes (driver will assess on arrival), and use the material calculator on the site to estimate tons needed. For a precise price, include delivery address details, any access issues, and whether you need next-day delivery (orders before noon CST) when you request a quote.
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.
