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.
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 Galena Park Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Galena Park has a city population of 8,500 and sits inside a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.80% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days annually and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, homeowners are investing in outdoor upgrades, driveway repairs, and yard hardscapes. That steady, measured growth creates ongoing demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, drainage trenches, patio bases, and edging. In hardiness zone 8b, landscape choices favor drought-tolerant, low-maintenance solutions, so quality gravel is often chosen to improve drainage after seasonal rains, reduce mud, stabilize traffic areas, and create long-lasting, easy-care surfaces that fit Galena Park’s sunny, variable weather. Gravel performs well in Galena Park’s environment because it encourages quick surface drainage and resists washout during heavy rains. Coarse, angular gravel compacts for driveways and paths, while finer decorative gravel is better for beds and walkways; selecting mixes that reflect local geology helps with heat reflection and visual cohesion in a region with 228 sunny days annually. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery so you get regionally sourced material on a schedule you choose. We require 2+ business days for standard delivery and offer next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion.Popular Projects in Galena Park This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Galena Park gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Galena Park.
Many orders in the Galena Park area qualify for free delivery, but fees can apply based on supplier distance, curb access, and truck type. Typical extra fees range from about $25 to $150 for longer hauls or restricted access; exact cost is shown at checkout or on a quote. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days or next-day service for an additional fee if ordered before noon CST.
For Galena Park's clay-prone soils and occasional heavy rain, crushed limestone or crushed granite are the best choices because they lock together and compact well. Pea gravel looks nice but tends to shift and can rut on driveways, so it is less ideal for heavy-traffic driveways. Proper base prep and edging are still important regardless of the gravel chosen.
Use these estimates as a local rule of thumb: 3" depth = about 1.3 tons per 100 sq ft, 4" = about 1.7 tons per 100 sq ft, and 6" = about 2.6 tons per 100 sq ft. Actual weight varies slightly by gravel type and moisture content, so use our material calculator or request a supplier quote for precise ordering. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so plan orders accordingly.
Local prices fluctuate, but expect general ranges of roughly $25 to $60 per ton, or about $30 to $75 per cubic yard depending on type (pea gravel, crushed limestone, granite, or recycled). Specialty colored or washed gravels will be toward the higher end of that range. For accurate, up-to-date pricing for your zip code, request a quote through Hello Gravel.
Gravel can work well if you prepare a strong base: remove soft clay, install a compacted base or crushed rock subbase, add proper slope and drainage, and use geotextile fabric where needed. Alternatives like permeable pavers or asphalt reduce tracking and maintenance but cost more upfront. Contractors in the area often recommend gravel with good drainage and edging for a budget-friendly option, but confirm based on your site conditions.
Recycled crushed concrete is usually cheaper than new quarried stone by around 10% to 30%, making it an economical choice for base layers and parking pads. It compacts well and is durable, though it can produce fines that dust or settle more than clean crushed stone, and it may be less consistent in appearance. For visible top layers or landscaped surfaces, contractors often prefer quarried gravel for appearance and uniform performance.
For French drains, use clean washed stone in about 1/2" to 1-1/2" size (commonly 3/4") to allow water flow while preventing clogging. For base layers under driveways, 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone is a common choice for compaction and load-bearing. Swales or areas with concentrated flow may require larger rock or rip-rap (1" to 2") at outlets to prevent erosion in heavy local rains.
Installation costs vary with site prep, access, and materials, but a typical range in the Galena Park area is about $2.00 to $6.00 per square foot for a properly prepared gravel driveway including compaction and edging. Smaller projects or those with difficult access can be more expensive per square foot, while large, simple installs tend toward the lower end. Get multiple local contractor quotes and confirm what prep work is included before hiring.
City ordinances and neighborhood HOAs can restrict gravel use for front yards, driveways, setbacks, or drainage impacts, so check Galena Park building and zoning rules and any HOA covenants before installation. Common HOA concerns include loose rock tracking, weed control, and uniform appearance. If you are unsure, contact your local permitting office or HOA board to confirm requirements.
With correct base preparation, edging, and periodic maintenance, a gravel driveway in Galena Park typically needs a top-up of new gravel every 3 to 7 years, and a major rebuild or full replacement roughly every 15 to 25 years. Heavy use, poor drainage, or absence of compaction shortens that timeline. Regular grading, drainage upkeep, and adding material as needed extend the useful life.
Give clear directions, note any tight turns, low overhead lines, and where you want the material dumped; most dump trucks need at least 10 feet of width and room to back up or turn. Drivers can provide tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but it's not guaranteed. If access is limited, ask Hello Gravel for delivery guidance or request a quote that includes special handling.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery is available in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is possible for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Check your zip code on our site for exact availability and pricing.

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.
