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 Sunnyvale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sunnyvale has a population of 8,890 and sits within a fast-growing region (2.33% annual growth) that is seeing steady demand for residential and small commercial projects.

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunnyvale gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sunnyvale.
Buying in bulk and having it delivered is usually cheapest in Sunnyvale since regional suppliers can price by the ton and delivery reduces handling costs. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier quotes, order the minimum 3 tons to get delivery, and schedule delivery on a weekday to avoid premium next-day fees.
In Texas, "black gravel" often refers to dark-colored materials such as basalt, slag, or dark crushed stone; exact composition varies by supplier. In Sunnyvale these stones offer striking contrast in landscaping but absorb more heat in summer, so choose lighter colors or shade plants accordingly.
River gravel is rounded, larger, and varies in size and color because it was smoothed by water, while pea gravel is uniformly small, pea-sized, and more consistent. Use river gravel for drainage beds, dry creek features, and natural borders; use pea gravel for pathways, playgrounds, and areas needing a smoother walking surface.
Yes, gravel can be used as mulch for long-lasting, low-maintenance ground cover that controls weeds and reduces erosion. Note Sunnyvale's hot summers can make gravel retain and radiate heat, which can stress some plants, so pair gravel with drought-tolerant species and consider lighter-colored stone.
Coverage depends on depth and stone density, but as a rule of thumb in Sunnyvale: about 240 sq ft at 1" depth, 120 sq ft at 2" depth, and 80 sq ft at 3" depth. Always allow for compaction and rounding up for slope or heavy use; use Hello Gravel's calculator for a precise local estimate.
A typical tri-axle dump truck in the Sunnyvale area can carry roughly 10-14 tons (about 8-12 cubic yards) depending on material and local weight limits. Prices vary by material type, distance, and season; get an exact delivered price and schedule through Hello Gravel's checkout or request a quote from our team.
Gravels with a high fines content such as crusher run, road base, or compactable stone dust bind together when compacted and form a firm surface. These are good for driveways and base layers, but they are not a substitute for concrete when you need full structural strength or a smooth paved finish.
A 50 lb bag of pea gravel is roughly 0.0185 cubic yards and will cover about 6 sq ft at a 1" depth, about 3 sq ft at 2" depth, and about 2 sq ft at 3" depth. For most Sunnyvale projects you will save money ordering by the ton for larger areas rather than using many bags.
Avoid pea gravel on steep slopes, uncontained play areas for small children, or locations with heavy vehicle traffic since it shifts and scatters easily. If you need a stable surface on slopes or for vehicles, consider compactable base materials or edging to contain the gravel.
Start with a well-drained, compacted base and consider a geotextile landscape fabric to reduce weed growth and prevent mixing of soil and stone. Add a compactable base for driveways or heavy-use areas and install edging to keep gravel contained, especially useful in Sunnyvale's windy and dry conditions.
The "rule of 3" in landscaping generally refers to using odd-numbered groupings for visual balance, and the "3-3-3" mulch rule (three inches of mulch over three feet of root zone) is a planting guideline. For gravel, apply the design principle by combining odd-numbered plant groupings, three complementary textures or colors, and using roughly 2-3 inches of gravel for decorative beds or 3+ inches where weed suppression is needed.
'A' and 'B' gravel are contractor shorthand that vary regionally, but generally 'A' refers to larger, cleaner crushed stone with fewer fines while 'B' contains more fines and compacts better. Ask your Hello Gravel supplier for the local specification or sieve size so you get the right material for driveways, base layers, or decorative uses in Sunnyvale.
Locally sourced crushed limestone or crushed concrete is often among the most affordable landscape rock options in West Texas because it is widely available and easy to deliver. Compare prices on Hello Gravel for nearby suppliers to see current local rates and choose the most cost-effective material for your project.
