Gravel: Designed For Kingwood Drainage • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Scheduling
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 Kingwood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kingwood is a growing suburban community with a city population of 66,093 and easy access to the larger metro area population of 7.1+ million. With a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually and a subtropical setting (Hardiness Zone 9b), local yards and new developments face frequent outdoor work: driveways, drainage upgrades, paver bases, and landscaping beds. Kingwood’s climate—about 50.00 inches of annual rainfall and roughly 210 sunny days per year—drives demand for durable, well-draining aggregates that stand up to heavy rains and seasonal landscaping projects. Homeowners choose quality gravel to control erosion, improve water runoff, stabilize soils, and create low-maintenance surfaces that tolerate frequent sun and storms.Popular Projects in Kingwood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kingwood gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Kingwood.
In Kingwood, expect delivered gravel to range roughly $35 to $70 per ton depending on material (pea gravel is usually at the higher end, crushed base at the lower end). That typically translates to about $45 to $100 per cubic yard depending on density and type. Prices vary by supplier, material, and delivery distance; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers transparent local pricing in checkout.
For Kingwood's clay subsoils and frequent heavy rain, angular crushed stone (3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone with fines) and compactible road base perform best because they lock together and resist washout. Pea gravel is attractive but can float and migrate in heavy rain unless used over a stable base and edge restraint. Consider a layered approach: geotextile, compacted road base, then a decorative top layer for best durability.
A 20x20 ft driveway is 400 sq ft. At 3 inches (0.25 ft) you need about 100 cubic feet or roughly 3.7 cubic yards (about 5 to 5.5 tons). At 6 inches (0.5 ft) you need about 200 cubic feet or roughly 7.4 cubic yards (about 10 to 11 tons). These are estimates — actual tons depend on the gravel density, so order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading; Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons.
Gravel alone can wash or track if not installed with proper base and drainage. In Kingwood, you should plan for good drainage (positive crown, swales, or French drains), a geotextile fabric, and a compacted road-base layer to reduce washout in heavy storms. If the area is subject to recurring flooding or standing water, gravel may not be the best solution without significant subgrade work or alternatives like permeable pavers or raised sections.
Professional gravel driveway installation in Kingwood typically ranges from about $1,200 to $4,000 for a standard 2-car (20x20) driveway depending on prep work, depth, edging, and drainage needs. Simple top-up jobs with minimal prep are at the low end; full installs with excavation, geotextile, compacted base, and edging are at the high end. Get local quotes through Hello Gravel or a contractor — site access, soil conditions, and permit needs can change the price.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that deliver across Kingwood and greater Harris County. Typical delivery minimums are 3 tons, which aligns with Hello Gravel's minimum order; some suppliers may have higher minimums for specialty materials. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel to see nearby suppliers, transparent prices, and available delivery dates.
In Kingwood's humid climate and with typical driveway traffic, you should expect to top up and regrade a gravel surface every 2 to 5 years. High-traffic areas, poor drainage, or frequent heavy storms will require more frequent maintenance. Regular raking, repairing low spots, and adding fresh gravel where it thins will extend life and reduce larger repairs.
Gravel has a lower upfront cost and offers excellent drainage, but it requires periodic maintenance and topping that adds recurring costs. Concrete has higher initial cost and can reduce annual maintenance, but it creates more runoff and may need stormwater management in Kingwood's heavy-rain environment. For many Kingwood homeowners, gravel is more cost-effective short-term and flexible long-term if you can maintain drainage and occasional replenishment; for low-maintenance permanence, concrete may make sense despite higher upfront cost.
Recommended preparation for Kingwood includes removing topsoil, installing a geotextile fabric to separate clay subgrade from the base, then installing 3–6 inches (minimum) of compacted road base or crushed stone for driveways. Add edging (steel or timber) to keep material contained, crown the surface for runoff, and route water to swales or French drains to avoid standing water. Proper prep is the most important factor preventing washout on Kingwood's clay soils and heavy rains.
Yes. Local permit requirements and HOA rules vary — some Harris County subdivisions and HOAs restrict loose-gravel driveways or require specific materials and edge treatments. Before you order, check with your HOA and Harris County building or permitting office, and review neighborhood design guidelines. If unsure, contact Hello Gravel or your local permitting office to confirm rules and avoid costly rework.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
