Why Rowlett Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rowlett is a growing West Texas community of 59,769 residents, experiencing a steady 0.70% annual growth rate as new homes and landscape projects expand across the area. With 225 sunny days per year, 34.60 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here balance bright, dry summers with occasional heavy rains and the need for all-season plantings. That mix drives demand for reliable aggregates: new driveways, drainage swales, patio bases, and decorative beds all need materials that resist washout, compact well, and complement local soils. Homeowners choose quality gravel to protect foundations, manage runoff, reduce maintenance, and improve curb appeal—especially where new construction and suburban infill are common. Gravel is well suited to Rowlett’s climate and soils because angular, crushed gravel promotes quick drainage during rain events while standing up to intense sun and seasonal irrigation. For pathways, driveways, and erosion control near lakefront lots, properly specified gravel minimizes rutting and helps shed water away from structures. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regional mixes, offers transparent pricing and scheduled delivery, and coordinates dump-truck delivery so your material arrives when you need it. Request tailgate spreading at checkout and our team will work with drivers to assess on-site needs, helping you get the right gravel for long-lasting results.Popular Projects in Rowlett This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rowlett gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rowlett.
Delivered gravel in Rowlett typically runs about $35 to $65 per ton for common crushed stone or base mixes, while decorative gravels can be $50 to $120 per ton. Final price depends on type, local supply, distance from the quarry, and whether you add delivery or spreading; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows delivery options and fees at checkout.
For driveways and drainage in Rowlett, a crushed stone base (crusher run or 3/4" minus) for compaction with a 3/4" crushed stone or pea gravel surface is common. Because Rowlett has clay soils and heavy summer storms, choose angular, well-graded stone that locks together for stability and allows water to drain rather than wash material away.
For a 20x40 ft driveway at 3 inches deep you need about 10 to 12 tons of gravel; at 4 inches deep you need about 14 to 16 tons. These estimates assume typical crushed stone density; order a little extra to allow for compaction and spreading, and remember Hello Gravel's minimum is 3 tons.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that deliver to Rowlett; minimums vary by supplier but Hello Gravel's platform commonly requires a 3-ton minimum. Some local quarries or haulers may set higher minimums or short-haul fees, so check availability and minimums by entering your zip code at checkout or contacting our team.
Yes. Proximity to Lake Ray Hubbard means you may need coarser stone or riprap (2" to several inches) for erosion control and shoreline stabilization rather than fine landscaping gravel. Also check local lake authority and City of Rowlett permitting before placing gravel on the shoreline, since shoreline work is often regulated.
Heat itself doesn't damage rock, but it can bake fines and increase surface dust; heavy rain can wash out loosely placed gravel or cause ruts if the base isn't well compacted. To extend longevity, use a proper compacted base, edge restraints, and regrade or add fresh stone after major storms.
Gravel has lower upfront material and installation cost and better drainage, but it needs more regular maintenance like regrading and topping up. Asphalt is more expensive initially (often several thousand dollars for a typical 20x40 driveway) but provides a smoother, longer-lasting surface with less routine maintenance; choose based on budget, desired look, and how much upkeep you want to perform.
Permit and HOA rules vary. Check the City of Rowlett building and zoning department and any HOA covenants before installation—some HOAs restrict loose gravel in front yards or require specific colors and edging—so confirm requirements before ordering material.
Prepare the subgrade by removing topsoil and grading, lay geotextile fabric if you have clay soils, install a 4" to 6" compacted layer of crusher run or aggregate base, then add a 2" to 3" wearing layer of 3/4" crushed stone. Compact each layer with a plate compactor or roller and use edging to hold material; this helps prevent rutting and weed growth in Rowlett's climate.
Decorative gravels like river rock or colored pea gravel cost more because they are screened, often quarried farther away, and sorted for appearance, whereas crusher run is a local, mixed-size product made for compaction. Expect decorative materials to run noticeably higher per ton and to vary in color and texture due to regional sourcing.
