Gravel: Sun-Hardy Drainage For Malakoff • Fast Local Gravel Delivery On Schedule
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 Malakoff Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Malakoff, Texas (city population 4,870) sits on the edge of a growing West Texas region (metro area population 2.5+ million) with steady development and a 0.70% annual growth rate. Local climate data — an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, 228 sunny days per year, and hardiness zone 8b — mean homeowners are balancing sun, periodic storms, and seasonality when planning yards and driveways. That steady growth and the areas outdoor-friendly climate drive demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, patios, drainage swales, and erosion control. Homeowners want materials that perform over time: good drainage, resistance to rutting, stable textures for walking surfaces, and consistent regional color. Those needs make quality gravel a common choice for projects that require long-term, low-maintenance surfaces and effective water management.Popular Projects in Malakoff This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Malakoff gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Malakoff.
For 100 sq ft at 2 inches deep you need about 0.9 tons of gravel, and at 3 inches you need about 1.3 tons. These numbers assume a common regional density (roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard); heavier materials may increase the tonnage slightly. Always round up and order at least the Hello Gravel minimum of 3 tons for delivery convenience.
Crushed limestone and crusher run are the most common choices for Malakoff driveways because they compact well and stand up to vehicle traffic. Pea gravel and river rock work for decorative or low-traffic areas but can shift under cars. For a layered approach, use crusher run or a compacted base topped with 3/4" crushed stone for the finished surface.
Yes, gravel itself handles heat well because it is inert, but Malakoff's occasional heavy rains and seasonal storms can cause washouts and rutting if the driveway lacks proper base and drainage. Proper grading, a compacted base, and edge containment (like a curb or soil berm) reduce erosion. Adding periodic maintenance after big rain events helps keep gravel stable.
Yes, we recommend a compacted base and, for many Malakoff soils, a geotextile fabric under the base to prevent mixing with native soil and to improve drainage. A typical build is 4 to 6 inches of compacted crusher run over fabric, with a 2 to 3 inch wearing layer on top. The extra prep reduces long-term maintenance and helps during heavy rain.
For drainage and erosion control on slopes, use larger angular rock like 1.5" to 3" crushed rock, riprap, or broken limestone to slow water and protect soil. Line channels or swales with washed rock or gabion baskets where runoff concentrates. Combine rock with vegetation and proper contouring to reduce erosion in West Texas storm events.
With proper base, drainage, and routine care (grading and topping), a gravel driveway in Malakoff can function well for 7 to 15 years before major rebuilds are needed. Expect light annual maintenance costs—raking, occasional weed control, and adding 1/2 to 1 inch of material every 1 to 3 years—ranging roughly from $50 to a few hundred dollars depending on driveway size. Major regrading or additional material after severe storms will increase costs.
Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and easiest to repair compared with asphalt and concrete, but it needs more regular maintenance and may not be as smooth for high-traffic use. Asphalt and concrete offer greater durability and lower routine maintenance but have higher installation costs and longer lead times. For many Malakoff rural properties gravel is the practical choice, especially where flexibility and lower initial cost matter.
Prices vary, but delivered bulk gravel in the Malakoff area commonly ranges from about $25 to $60 per ton for material depending on type and local availability, plus any delivery fee. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion; if you hire professional spreading or installation crews expect additional charges. The best way to know exact costs is to check your zip code on Hello Gravel for a local quote.
Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so deliveries to Malakoff typically come from local quarries and pits within the East and West Texas sourcing area. Delivery radius often falls in the 30 to 50 mile range, but availability depends on local suppliers and truck schedules. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our team to see which suppliers and delivery options are available for your address.
Hiring a pro is a good choice if you need grading, compaction, drainage work, or large volumes; professionals bring equipment and experience that reduce long-term maintenance. DIY can work for small projects and savings, but expect to rent a compactor and possibly a skid steer or plate tamper, and plan for more labor. Get quotes from Hello Gravel for material plus local installer estimates so you can compare total cost and value.
To reduce erosion, make sure your driveway has positive drainage, compacted base layers, and edge containment to keep material in place. To limit dust, use mixed or angular crushed stone rather than round pea gravel, and consider occasional light watering or a dust-suppressant product if local regulations allow. Regularly adding and compacting fresh top material after heavy dry spells or storms will also minimize dust and loss.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
