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 Ovilla Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ovilla is a growing West Texas community with a city population of 1.0+ million and sits inside a metro area of 2.5+ million residents. Local growth of 0.70% annually, paired with a climate that includes 228/year sunny days and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, keeps demand steady for home improvement and infrastructure projects. Homeowners here frequently repair driveways, improve drainage, and install low-maintenance landscaping that stands up to sun, occasional heavy rains, and warm soils. That steady development and weather pattern mean quality aggregates are essential: properly graded gravel reduces erosion, improves runoff control, and creates durable surfaces for traffic and outdoor living spaces. Gravel performs well in Ovilla’s climate because it drains quickly after storms, resists breaking down under strong sun, and helps stabilize sandy or loamy local soils. Locally sourced gravel reflects regional geology, so it blends with existing yards while providing the strength needed for driveways, French drains, and garden paths. Hello Gravel connects Ovilla homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional dump truck delivery, offering transparent pricing, schedule options (standard 2+ business days or next-day when available), and guidance so you get the right gravel type and quantity for your project.Popular Projects in Ovilla This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ovilla gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ovilla.
Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect to pay roughly $40 to $70 per ton in the Ovilla area. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons, so a full truckload will often run between about $400 and $840 before any delivery fees. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; use our calculator or contact our team for an exact quote for your zip code.
Common options around Ovilla include crushed stone (angular rock for driveways), pea gravel (small, rounded stones for patios and play areas), and river rock (larger, rounded stones for decorative uses). Availability and exact sizing depend on local quarries, so color and texture can vary by supplier in the region.
"Texas black" typically refers to a dark crushed aggregate often produced from certain local limestone or igneous rock and used for driveways and landscaping. It may be available from local suppliers near Ovilla, but availability can be seasonal and varies by quarry; add color preferences in Order Notes and we will try to match requests where possible.
Gravel can reduce standing water and moisture that attract mosquitoes and some pests, especially when used with proper grading and drainage. It will not eliminate insects entirely; removing debris, keeping gutters clear, and avoiding low spots that hold water are important steps in Ovilla's warm climate.
A common approach is 4 to 6 inches total depth for driveways (a compacted base plus a top layer); for example, a 12' x 40' driveway at 3 inches of gravel equals about 4.4 cubic yards, roughly 6.6 to 7.0 tons using typical local densities. These are estimates only—use our online calculator or contact our team with your dimensions to get a precise tonnage and to account for compaction and slope.
Yes. Ovilla has hot summers and occasional heavy rains, so choose aggregates that promote drainage and resist washing. Angular crushed stone is usually best for driveways and areas with vehicle traffic, while larger river rock or washed gravel can be useful in drainage channels and xeriscape beds common to the area.
Yes—deliveries in Ovilla are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Drivers will usually drop material at the curb or the most accessible safe spot on your property; obstacles like low branches, narrow driveways, or overhead wires can limit placement, so let us know about access notes at checkout.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout, and we recommend contacting us promptly if you need to change a delivery.
Some gravels, especially those with iron content or red tones, can leave dust or staining on concrete and pavers. To reduce staining, choose lighter-colored or washed aggregates and install edging or a separation fabric where gravel meets hard surfaces; routine sweeping and a hose-down after installation also helps.
Gravel is low-maintenance, improves drainage, and works well for parking areas, pathways, and xeriscaping in Ovilla's climate. For play areas or barefoot spaces, choose pea gravel or rounded stones rather than sharp crushed stone, and keep in mind that small children and pets may prefer softer surfaces like mulch or turf in some spots.
Yes—add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes at checkout and we will try to match them based on regional supplier availability. Because Hello Gravel sources locally, exact matches to photos cannot be guaranteed due to natural variations and quarry differences.
Take photos and contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with your order details so we can review the issue and work toward a resolution. Natural variation is common with locally sourced materials; our team will guide next steps and reference our refund and issue-resolution process as needed.
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.
