Why Manvel Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Manvel, West Texas, is a growing community of 29,370 residents within a metro region of 2.5+ million and is expanding at a rate of 1.92% annually. Its semi-arid climate—hardiness zone 8b—delivers 228 sunny days per year and moderate annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, creating ideal conditions for outdoor projects but also posing challenges for drainage and erosion control. That steady growth is driving demand for new driveways, patios, drainage upgrades, and low-maintenance landscapes. Homeowners in Manvel choose quality aggregates to stabilize soil, manage runoff, and create long-lasting surfaces that stand up to heat and occasional heavy rain. Selecting the right gravel size and source for local soils and weather is essential for durable results.Popular Projects in Manvel This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Manvel gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Manvel.
Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect roughly $12 to $45 per ton for common gravel in the Manvel area, plus a delivery or hauling fee that commonly ranges from $75 to $300 depending on distance and truck access. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and shows delivery fees up front at checkout; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
For driveways and heavy use in West Texas around Manvel, angular crushed stone (for example crushed limestone or crushed granite) is usually best because it compacts and locks together. Pea gravel works well for decorative patios and walkways but tends to migrate under heavy traffic, and recycled crushed concrete is a cost-effective base layer but can vary in quality depending on local supply.
A simple rule of thumb is: tons needed = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 240 (this uses a typical gravel weight). For example, a 12 ft by 50 ft driveway (600 sq ft) at 3 inches deep needs about 7.5 tons; always order 5-10% extra to account for compaction, grading, and waste.
Crushed limestone performs better under heavy truck traffic because its angular pieces interlock and compact to form a stable surface. Pea gravel rolls and shifts under heavy loads and is more likely to rut and scatter, so it is not recommended where large trucks or frequent heavy loads are expected.
A well-built gravel driveway in the Manvel area can last 5 to 20 years depending on base preparation, drainage, and traffic levels. Plan on annual light maintenance such as grading and pothole repair, and a refresh topping every 1 to 3 years for residential driveways; hotter, drier summer conditions may accelerate loss of fines and require more frequent top-ups.
Permit requirements vary by project type and location; many private residential gravel driveways do not require a permit, but drive approaches to public roads, commercial surfaces, or changes to stormwater flow may. Contact Manvel city offices or Brazoria County permitting to confirm local rules before installing, and check with Hello Gravel if you need vendor guidance.
Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is usually available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-day delivery is occasionally possible depending on local supplier stock and truck availability, but it cannot be guaranteed; Hello Gravel will show available delivery dates and any rush fees at checkout.
Yes, adding a compacted crushed-stone base and a geotextile fabric increases upfront costs but greatly improves longevity and reduces maintenance in West Texas conditions. Expect material and installation costs to rise—often roughly 20% to 40% more overall depending on base depth and labor—but the investment usually reduces long-term repair and regrading needs.
Use angular, larger-size crushed stone (for example 3/4" to 2" grades) on slopes because larger, angular stone resists movement better than fines or pea gravel. Combine stone with a proper subgrade, geotextile fabric, terraces or retaining features, and diversion swales or French drains to manage runoff on West Texas slopes.
Hauling costs depend on distance, road access, and truck type; nearby suppliers often include delivery or charge a modest fee, while longer hauls into the Manvel area commonly add $75 to $300 or more. Hello Gravel displays delivery charges up front so you can compare material and hauling costs for your zip code.
Drivers may be able to provide tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety considerations. If you need precise spreading or compaction, plan for additional labor or a grader/compactor after delivery.
Hello Gravel connects Manvel customers with vetted local suppliers and contracted haulers that deliver to your area; check your zip code on our site to see available materials and delivery options. For installation, get multiple quotes and ask suppliers about driveway base work, compaction, and references for local projects similar to yours.

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.
