Why South Houston Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
South Houston sits within a rapidly developing Houston-The Woodlands region and is served by a city population of 2.7+ million. With steady growth of 0.40% annually and a subtropical climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rain annually, local homeowners face frequent summer storms, humid conditions, and intense sun exposure. Those factors, combined with expanding residential construction and yard remodels, drive demand for durable, well-draining aggregates. Homeowners choose quality gravel to protect foundations and driveways from washout, to improve yard drainage on clay soils, and to create low-maintenance, heat-tolerant landscaping that stands up to South Houston’s weather patterns and ongoing development pressures. Gravel is a practical match for South Houston’s climate: it sheds water quickly after heavy rain, reduces erosion on slopes, and reflects heat better than dark mulch under long sun periods. Common selections—crushed stone for structural bases and pea gravel for walkways and beds—work well with local soils when installed over a stable, permeable base. Hello Gravel simplifies sourcing by connecting you to trusted local suppliers, offering online quotes, scheduling deliveries with a minimum order of 3 tons, and providing guidance through our material calculator and sales team. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion.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.
Delivered gravel prices in South Houston usually range from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on type (crushed limestone, pea gravel, crushed concrete), quantity, and supplier. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing in checkout and many deliveries in the area include free delivery; special orders or next-day delivery may add fees.
Common choices around South Houston are crushed limestone (locks and compacts well), crushed concrete (cost-effective and stable), and pea gravel (decorative but moves more). Regional sourcing means color and texture vary; ask for photos or material notes in your order.
For durable driveways on South Houston soils we recommend a compacted base of about 4 inches of crushed stone plus 2 inches of surfacing (roughly 6 inches total). A typical 1-car driveway (about 200 sq ft) at 6 inches needs about 5 tons, and a 2-car driveway (about 400 sq ft) needs about 10 tons; add 5-10% extra for compaction and waste.
South Houston's humid subtropical climate and heavy rains can wash fine material and cause rutting on clay soils, so good drainage is critical. Use a well-compacted crushed-stone base, geotextile fabric, proper slope or crown, and consider French drains or swales to channel stormwater away from gravel surfaces.
Typical lead times in the South Houston area are 2-7 business days depending on material and season. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST, subject to supplier and truck availability.
Professional installation costs vary, but expect base prep, fabric, and compaction to add roughly $3 to $8 per sq ft depending on site access and soil condition. For a 2-car driveway (about 400 sq ft) installation costs commonly range from $1,200 to $3,200, with higher costs for heavy clay, excavation, or drainage work.
Some South Houston neighborhoods and HOAs have restrictions on loose gravel driveways, required edge restraints, or drainage standards, and city or county work in the right-of-way may require permits. Check your HOA covenants and contact City of South Houston public works before installing; Hello Gravel can help by alerting you to common local requirements.
For clay soils common near South Houston, angular crushed stone or crushed limestone with fines works best because it compacts and interlocks to resist rutting. Combine a 3/4" crushed stone base with geotextile fabric and a smaller screened surface stone; avoid using only pea gravel on clay without a stable base.
Order at least Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum and round up 5-10% to allow for compaction and waste; include delivery notes for set-back, gates, or preferred drop location. Request photos of local material if color matters, choose delivery date at checkout, and add tailgate spreading as a request (drivers perform it at their discretion).
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.
