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.

Why Northwest Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Northwest Hills has a city population of 30,000 and sits in a growing region with a 2.10% annual growth rate, a climate in hardiness zone 8a, about 218 sunny days per year, and average annual rainfall of 38.97 inches. That mix of steady population growth and a temperate, moderately wet climate drives ongoing demand for reliable landscaping and site-work materials. Homeowners here are renovating yards, adding low-maintenance driveways, and upgrading drainage as lots infill and homes are updated. For those projects, quality gravel is a practical choice: it stabilizes driveways, supports pavers, improves surface drainage, and provides a durable, low-maintenance surfacing option that reflects Northwest Hills' local geology and changing construction needs. With a broader metro area population of 4.6+ million nearby, the local market supports a range of supplier options and material blends tuned to this environment.Popular Projects in Northwest Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Northwest Hills gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Northwest Hills.
Prices vary by material and season, but expect about $40 to $80 per ton for common gravels in the Austin area. Hello Gravel shows exact, upfront pricing for your zip code at checkout; minimum orders start at 3 tons and delivery or material type can change the final price.
Local aggregates in the Austin area are often limestone-based (light-colored crushed limestone), caliche, and some recycled concrete products. Appearance and texture vary by supplier, so ask for a photo or sample if color or stone type matters for your project.
Common sizes include pea gravel (1/8"–3/8") for walkways, 3/8" to 3/4" crushed stone for driveways and patios, and larger 1"+ rock for drainage and decorative borders. Finer mixes with 'fines' or screenings are used as base material or to lock stones together; always pick size based on appearance and function.
Hello Gravel typically uses local tri-axle dump trucks; a tri-axle usually carries about 10 to 13 cubic yards of gravel, which is roughly 14 to 18 tons for crushed stone. Larger 20-cubic-yard trucks (when available) can weigh about 28 tons depending on material density.
A 10-yard load contains roughly 14 tons of crushed stone, so expect delivered costs typically in the range of $600 to $1,400 depending on material, supplier, and delivery fees. Use our checkout or request a quote for a precise price for your address and selected material.
One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers about 324 sq ft at 1" depth, 162 sq ft at 2", 108 sq ft at 3", and 81 sq ft at 4" depth. Gravel weight varies by type; a rule of thumb for crushed stone is about 1.4 tons per cubic yard — use our material calculator to convert area and depth into tons.
Cheapest options are usually bulk, locally sourced materials like crushed concrete (recycled) or 'crusher run'/'bank run' mixes that include fines. Prices depend on availability and season, so get a quote for these budget-friendly mixes and confirm they suit your drainage and finish needs.
Order in bulk (minimum 3 tons) for delivery rather than many small bags, choose recycled or crusher-run mixes, and schedule delivery on a weekday to avoid premium fees. Picking up material yourself can save delivery charges if you have a suitable vehicle and time.
Collecting rocks on private property with the owner's permission is allowed, but removing rocks from state parks, city right-of-way, or protected public lands is usually prohibited and can require permits. When in doubt, check with City of Austin and Texas Parks and Wildlife rules before collecting on public property.
'Dirty 6' is a local term for a 3/4" (nominal) crushed limestone or crushed rock mix that includes fines — roughly a '6' size with dirt-like fines that help compact as a base or driveway surface. Specifications vary by supplier, so confirm the exact grading and suitability for driveways or walkways when ordering.
Costs depend on length, depth, and material. As an example, a 20 ft wide by 50 ft long driveway at 3" depth needs about 9.3 cubic yards (about 13 tons); at a delivered price of $50 per ton that equals roughly $650 for material alone, with higher totals for thicker depth, premium stone, spreading, or contractor labor.
Free gravel is rare; sometimes local construction projects or neighbors will offer excess material but you must get permission and ensure the material is suitable and free of contaminants. For predictable quality and delivery, Hello Gravel’s low-cost recycled options are usually a safer and faster choice.
Estimate volume first: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27 = cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed stone. For example, a 10 ft x 10 ft patio at 3" depth needs 0.93 cubic yards (about 1.3 tons), and we recommend ordering a bit extra for compaction and waste — typically 5% to 10% more.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.
Please type in your zip code on any product screen and it will let you know if we service your area. The chances are that we do!
The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
