Why South Houston Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
South Houston sits within a fast-moving regional market with a city population of 2.7+ million and a metro area population of 2.5+ million. A steady growth rate of 0.70% annually means continued demand for home improvements, additions, and neighborhood infrastructure projects — steady, predictable construction and landscaping work rather than a one-time boom. The area's subtropical climate, with 228/year sunny days and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches in hardiness zone 8b, shapes what homeowners need from bulk materials: durable aggregates that handle frequent sun exposure, materials that aid drainage during heavy showers, and fill or topsoil that compacts reliably for driveways and foundations. Across projects — from grading and drainage to garden beds, patios, and erosion control — selecting the right mix of gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone matters for long-term performance in South Houston's conditions.Popular Projects in South Houston This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - South Houston Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in South Houston.
Delivery cost depends on material type, order size, distance from the supplier, site access, and any special handling. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing up front and works with local haulers to keep fees clear; many orders qualify for free delivery. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and remote or hard-to-access jobs may carry extra charges.
Choose materials and assemblies that promote drainage and resist washout, such as stable, well-graded aggregates and proper base layers. When selecting gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group, prioritize permeability, compaction, and how a material sheds or holds water rather than one single property. For areas prone to flooding, plan to raise grades, add drainage, or use retaining solutions rather than relying on surface material alone.
Many homeowners schedule work in late fall through early spring when rains are typically lighter and temperatures are milder. Summer projects are possible but can be disrupted by heavy summer storms and higher humidity, so plan for flexible dates and factor in extra drying or curing time. Next-day delivery is available if you order before noon CST, but standard delivery requires 2+ business days.
Local suppliers and contractor networks commonly deliver materials throughout the Houston-The Woodlands metro area, and Hello Gravel connects you with those local haulers for delivery. Installation (grading, compacting, or full install) is usually handled by contractors rather than material haulers; Hello Gravel coordinates delivery but does not perform installation. If you need installation help, ask our team for contractor recommendations in your area.
South Houston often has clay soils, a high water table in low-lying spots, and heavy rainfall events, so plan for proper grading, sub-base preparation, and drainage features. Permeable surfacing, catch basins, French drains, and raised beds can reduce standing water and erosion. Always evaluate site slopes and runoff paths before choosing materials and depth.
City codes, permitting, and HOA rules can affect material choices, driveway size, and impervious-surface limits, so check South Houston building and zoning departments and your HOA before starting. Requirements vary by neighborhood and project scope, especially for driveways, retaining walls, and major grading work. Hello Gravel can help with material selection but you should confirm permits and HOA guidelines early in planning.
Quantity depends on project area and desired depth; as a rule of thumb, increasing depth or area raises tonnage proportionally. For example, small landscaping beds, a backyard path, or a 2-car driveway will have very different needs, so use our material calculator or contact our team with your square footage and depth to get an accurate estimate. We can also provide sample ranges for typical projects to help with planning.
Total cost includes material price, delivery, site preparation (grading, removal, compaction), installation labor, and any permits or disposal fees. Prices vary by material, quantity, and job complexity, and local sourcing means regional price differences across the metro area. Hello Gravel provides up-front pricing for materials and delivery so you can estimate total costs before scheduling.
Deliveries are typically made by dump trucks (often tri-axle), with bobtail trucks or other equipment used in some situations; Hello Gravel arranges delivery through local haulers. Standard delivery usually takes 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST; tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed. Make sure the driver has clear access, and note our 3-ton minimum order.
Ask how a material performs in hot, humid, and flood-prone conditions, what maintenance it requires, and whether it fits neighborhood aesthetics and HOA expectations. Discuss long-term costs like periodic replenishment, drainage upkeep, and how the chosen material affects curb appeal and property value. Prefer locally sourced options that match local geology and contractor experience for best results.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easiest before the order is dispatched and we will make a best-effort to accommodate requests. If there is an issue on delivery, report it promptly to our customer service so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it in line with our policies. Refer to our online refund and issue-resolution information for next steps.
Clear the planned drop area of cars, toys, and garden items, and mark any underground utilities or delicate landscaping. Provide a clear path and turning space for the truck and note overhead obstructions like low branches or wires; poor access may change delivery method or add fees. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout and be aware the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.

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!
