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

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.

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 Forest Hill Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Forest Hill has a city population of 150,000 and sits within a metro area population of 500,000 that is growing at a rate of 1.20% annually. The area falls in hardiness zone 7a, averages about 250 sunny days per year, and receives annual rainfall of 30.00 inches. That mix of sun and periodic rain, together with steady population growth and development, drives steady demand for residential construction, driveway repairs, drainage upgrades, and landscape refreshes. Homeowners and small contractors in Forest Hill often turn to quality gravel to create reliable bases, improve drainage, reduce erosion, and cut down on long-term maintenance — especially where local soils and stormwater patterns can cause settling or rutting over time.Popular Projects in Forest Hill This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Forest Hill gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Forest Hill.
Delivered gravel prices in Forest Hill vary by material, quantity, and supplier; expect a typical range rather than an exact price. For West Texas, a rough delivered range is $25-$60 per ton (or approximately $30-$75 per cubic yard) depending on type (pea gravel, crushed limestone, decomposed granite) and whether you choose next-day delivery or special spreading. Prices fluctuate with local supply, seasonal demand, and truck access; use Hello Gravel’s quote tool for an exact delivered price to your zip code.
For Forest Hill’s hot summers and clay soils, crushed limestone or crushed stone (3/4" minus or 3/4"-1") are top choices because they lock together and resist rutting. Pea gravel is attractive for paths but can shift on clay and may require edging and a compacted base. Decomposed granite makes a smooth, permeable surface but needs good base prep to avoid washouts during heavy rains.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which applies to deliveries serving Forest Hill. Deliveries are typically made by contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle trucks) that carry roughly 10-15 tons depending on material and local weight limits, though exact truck capacity varies by supplier. Any additional supplier-specific minimums or delivery fees will appear at checkout when you enter your delivery address.
Calculate volume in cubic yards with: length (ft) x width (ft) x depth (ft) / 27. Example: a 12 ft x 50 ft driveway at 3" depth is 12 x 50 x 0.25 / 27 = about 5.6 cubic yards. Convert to tons using an approximate factor of 1.3–1.5 tons per cubic yard (5.6 yd3 x 1.4 ≈ 7.8 tons); choose the higher factor for heavier stone like crushed limestone and round up for waste and compaction.
In Forest Hill’s hot, sun-exposed, and occasionally heavy-rain climate, a properly installed gravel driveway can perform well for many years with periodic maintenance like regrading and adding fresh material. Expect 5–15 years before significant replenishment is needed, depending on traffic, base preparation, and drainage. Good drainage, compaction, and periodic top dressing extend life and reduce washboarding and rutting.
Gravel can be effective for erosion control on small slopes and swales in Forest Hill when combined with proper slope stabilization measures like geotextile fabric, edging, and vegetation. Larger angular rock (1"-3" crushed stone or riprap) works best for steeper slopes and concentrated flow, while smaller crushed stone or pea gravel is better for surface coverage on mild slopes. For long-term solutions near drainage channels, consider larger rock, check dams, or professional erosion controls tailored to local runoff patterns.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and simplest to install for Forest Hill homeowners and is widely available from local suppliers, but it requires more ongoing maintenance than asphalt, concrete, or pavers. Asphalt and concrete provide smoother, low-maintenance surfaces with longer lifespans (10–30+ years with proper installation) but higher initial costs and may need professional contractors. Pavers offer durability and aesthetics but are expensive to install; contractor availability for asphalt and concrete is common in the region, while gravel work is often DIY-friendly or handled by local landscapers.
Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood in Forest Hill; some areas allow gravel driveways while others have surface restrictions or design standards. Check your city building department and any HOA guidelines before ordering material—contractors sometimes handle permits, but verifying responsibility ahead of time is important. If you need help, contact Hello Gravel’s team and provide your address so we can note any delivery or access considerations.
Typical installation includes clearing and grading, installing a compacted sub-base (often crushed stone), optional geotextile fabric, the finished gravel layer, compaction, and edging to contain the material. Costs include materials, truck delivery, operator labor, and any base work; prices vary by site conditions, but you should budget for base preparation and periodic top-dressing. Ask for local contractor estimates and confirm whether they include grading, fabric, and compaction in their quote.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading in Forest Hill at their discretion, and you can request it at checkout, but this service is not guaranteed. Drivers will assess safety, access, and equipment on arrival to decide whether spreading is feasible. If you need guaranteed spreading or precise grading, plan to hire a local contractor or crew to handle finishing work after delivery.
Plan for a flat, accessible drop zone with room for a dump truck to maneuver and a clear path from the street to the desired placement; note any overhead wires, low branches, or narrow driveways that could restrict trucks. Add delivery notes at checkout with gate codes, preferred placement, and contact numbers; Hello Gravel suppliers will confirm details before dispatch. For tight access or special placement requests, expect to coordinate with the driver and allow some flexibility.
Seasonal demand and local quarry operations can affect availability and pricing near Forest Hill; spring and summer are typically busier and may mean higher prices or lead times. Buying in bulk usually lowers unit cost per ton compared with retail bagged materials, and Hello Gravel’s platform helps compare delivered pricing from local suppliers. If your project allows, order during lower-demand periods and confirm lead times to avoid delays.
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.
