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 Grand Saline Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Grand Saline, Texas (population 6,290) sits in a steadily growing West Texas region that supports residential and light commercial expansion. With a growth rate of 0.46% annually, a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners are investing in projects that need durable, low-maintenance materials. Gravel is a common choice for driveways, walkways, erosion control, and drainage features because it withstands intense sun, sheds water during heavy rains, and helps stabilize the often sandy or clay-influenced soils found around the area. As Grand Saline and the surrounding 2.7+ million metro area develop, demand for reliable aggregates rises for both new construction and retrofit landscape projects. Gravel performs well in Grand Saline’s climate: it promotes quick surface drainage after storms, reduces muddy areas on clay soils, and resists UV breakdown in sunny conditions. Locally sourced gravels reflect area geology, so color and texture may vary; that variability can be an advantage for matching neighborhood aesthetics. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional dump truck fleets, offers clear online pricing, and provides flexible delivery options (standard 2+ business days or next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST). We handle coordination from order to delivery so you get the right gravel, on the date you choose.Popular Projects in Grand Saline This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Grand Saline gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Grand Saline.
Expect delivered gravel in Grand Saline to commonly fall in the range of about $30 to $60 per ton depending on material (crushed limestone vs decorative rock), distance, and load size. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and typically provides standard delivery in 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Final price is shown at checkout after we match you with a local supplier and hauler.
For most Grand Saline driveways, 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone with some fines is a good choice because the angular pieces lock together and shed water well. Avoid loose, rounded river rock for driveways since it shifts under traffic and during heavy rains; pea gravel and decomposed granite can work for low-traffic paths but need edging and stabilization. Consider a compacted base (GABC) under the surface gravel to improve performance in West Texas climate.
A 12' x 50' area at 3" depth is about 5.56 cubic yards, which equals roughly 7.7 tons of 3/4" crushed gravel using a common conversion of 1.4 tons per cubic yard. We recommend ordering 10% extra to allow for compaction and grading, so round up to about 8.5 to 9 tons. Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons, so you can order the needed amount through our platform and schedule delivery.
Yes — in Grand Saline and nearby Henderson County there are local aggregate suppliers and landscape contractors who provide bulk gravel and installation services. Hello Gravel connects you directly with trusted local suppliers and haulers and can also flag suppliers that offer installation, but availability of installation varies by contractor. For confirmed installation quotes, request it at checkout or call our team so we can include local contractors in your quote.
Decomposed granite and pea gravel can make attractive, permeable pathways in Grand Saline but they tend to move and wash during heavy West Texas rainstorms unless properly contained. Use a firm subbase, edge restraints, and consider a stabilizer or binder for high-traffic paths to reduce tracking and erosion. For long-term low-maintenance paths, a compacted crushed stone surface may be more stable.
Gravel driveways in Grand Saline are inexpensive to install and can last many years with routine maintenance like grading, filling potholes, and adding 1-2 tons of gravel every few years; expect periodic maintenance costs rather than a large one-time expense. Asphalt typically has a longer uninterrupted life (often 15+ years) and requires less frequent topping but has higher upfront cost. Choose gravel for lower initial cost and easy repairs, or asphalt if you prefer a smoother, lower-maintenance surface long term.
Crushed limestone or angular crushed stone is usually better for erosion control on slopes because the pieces interlock and resist movement. River rock is rounded and more likely to roll or wash downhill in storm events unless it is anchored with vegetation, mesh, or larger boulders. Match material choice to slope steepness, drainage patterns, and whether you need a stable wearing surface or decorative cover.
Some local codes or HOAs in Grand Saline may have rules about driveway surface materials, depth, color, and drainage, so check your city building department and any HOA guidelines before ordering. Hello Gravel recommends confirming restrictions early; our team can note special requirements in your order to help match you with compliant materials. If you need help, contact Grand Saline city hall or your HOA and then share any rules with us when you order.
A common approach in Grand Saline is to install 4" to 6" of compacted granular base (GABC) and then 2" to 3" of surface gravel, compacting each lift with a plate compactor or roller. Use geotextile fabric over poor or clayey soils to stabilize the base and improve drainage, and ensure proper grading and crown to shed water away from the driveway. Proper base prep is especially important in West Texas where heavy rains can cause rutting if the base is inadequate.
Topdressing or screening costs in the Grand Saline area commonly range from about $10 to $40 per cubic yard delivered, depending on material type, quantity, and hauling distance. Pricing varies with whether you need screening, spreading, or additional grading; Hello Gravel's checkout will show exact material and delivery pricing once we match you with a local supplier. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons, so small patch work may require coordinating with neighbors or ordering a slightly larger quantity.
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.
