Gravel: Built For Texas Heat And Drainage • Fast Local Gravel Delivery To Your Yard
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 Iowa Colony Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Iowa Colony (city population: 500,000) sits inside a growing regional market (metro area population: 1.2+ million) that is seeing steady development, with a population growth rate of 1.20% annually. The local climate—about 260 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 30.00 inches in USDA hardiness zone 7b—encourages outdoor projects year-round and creates steady demand for foundational materials. Homeowners and contractors here routinely need aggregates for driveways, drainage, patios, and base layers for pavers. As yards expand and new construction continues, quality, locally sourced gravel helps keep projects on schedule and performs better under the region's sun-and-rain cycle, reducing maintenance and improving longevity compared with loose or imported materials.Popular Projects in Iowa Colony This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Iowa Colony gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Iowa Colony.
River gravel is rounded, varied in size, and often used for decorative beds and dry creek lines; pea gravel is uniformly small (about 1/8" to 3/8") and works well for patios and pathways. In Iowa Colony, river gravel can shift more during heavy rain, while pea gravel compacts less and may require edging or a stabilizer on slopes. Regional supply can affect color and roundness, so expect some variation from photos.
Locally sourced crushed concrete or screenings are often the most budget-friendly option for landscaping in the Iowa Colony area. These recycled or crushed materials perform well for base layers and utility paths but may vary in color and consistency, so ask for a sample or photo before ordering. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery typically takes 2+ business days.
Avoid pea gravel where you need a firm driving surface, on steep slopes, or where small stones could get tracked indoors frequently. In rainy periods common to Brazoria County, pea gravel can shift and migrate without good edging or a compacted base. For driveways, consider crushed stone or a stabilizing grid instead of loose pea gravel.
A quick rule: for a 1-inch layer you need about 0.27 tons per 100 square feet; for common driveway depths (3 to 4 inches) plan for 0.8 to 1.1 tons per 100 square feet. Because soils in Iowa Colony can compress or settle, contractors often add 10-15% extra to account for compaction and settling. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate.
Iowa Colony is in a humid, subtropical area with sticky clay soils and frequent heavy rains, so drainage and stability are key considerations when choosing gravel. Angular crushed stone or #57 limestone makes better structural bases and resists washout compared with smooth river rock in wet conditions. For decorative uses, provide adequate edging and consider a permeable base to reduce migration during storms.
Yes, properly specified gravel can improve surface drainage and reduce standing water when used in French drains, dry creek beds, or as a permeable top layer over a free-draining base. Use larger, angular stone for drainage trenches and a geotextile fabric to separate gravel from clay subgrade to prevent clogging. If you have a high water table, consult our team for material recommendations and delivery scheduling.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, color, texture, and stone composition can vary by supplier and region—expect variations for Iowa Colony deliveries. You can add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes at checkout and request photos when available, but exact matches to online images are not guaranteed. Contact our team if color consistency is critical for your project.
Clear the drop zone of debris, mark underground utilities, and ensure truck access and a safe place for the driver to dump; many local streets in Iowa Colony have limited turn radii. Stake out intended edges and measure depth so the driver can deliver the correct amount; if you want spreading, request it at checkout but note drivers perform tailgate spreading at their discretion. If access is tight or a permit is needed, tell our team when you order so we can coordinate with the supplier and hauler.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion depending on safety, access, and load type; request this service at checkout and add details in Order Notes. There is no guarantee of spreading, so plan for the material to be dumped in a pile if you need precise placement or fine spreading. For large or delicate spreading jobs, consider hiring local landscape crews after delivery.
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.
