Why Sweeny Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sweeny, West Texas, is a small but steadily growing community of 6,790 residents. With a steady growth rate of 0.80% annually and a climate that includes 228 sunny days per year, hardiness zone 8b, and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners and local builders face a mix of heat, sun exposure, and episodic rainfall. That combination increases demand for dependable aggregates that promote drainage, reduce dust, and resist sun-driven breakdown. Gravel is commonly chosen in Sweeny for driveways, pathways, drainage trenches, and xeriscaping because it stabilizes surfaces, sheds water during storms, and blends with regional soils. Projects also tie into broader development across the West Texas metro, where construction activity serves a 2.5+ million population and drives local material needs and scheduling considerations.Popular Projects in Sweeny This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sweeny gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sweeny.
Expect a range rather than a fixed price: crushed limestone or crusher run in the Sweeny area typically runs about $20-$40 per ton, pea gravel is often $30-$60 per ton, and decorative river rock can be $40-$80 per ton. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and many deliveries are free in areas we serve, but local hauler fees, delivery distance, and material type can affect the final price—get a quote at checkout or call our team for an exact price.
For driveways in Sweeny’s Gulf Coast-influenced climate, crusher run or crushed limestone are common choices because they compact well and shed water. For patios and pathways, 3/8" pea gravel or 3/4" clean crushed stone give a nicer finish; avoid smooth river rock for high-traffic driveways because it shifts more easily in heat and rain.
Typical depths: driveways need a compacted base of 4-6 inches with a 2-3 inch wearing layer; walkways and patios usually use 2-3 inches of compacted gravel. To estimate tons: calculate cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in ft) / 27, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to convert to tons. For example, a 12' x 40' driveway (480 sq ft) at 3 inches requires about 4.44 cubic yards, or roughly 6.2 tons; remember Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons.
Rules vary: some neighborhoods in Sweeny may have HOA covenants that restrict gravel driveways, so check your HOA documents first. For work in or affecting a public right-of-way (driveway apron, culverts, or connections to state roads) you may need permits from Sweeny city hall, Brazoria County, or TxDOT; contact the appropriate office before starting work to confirm requirements.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Sweeny and the surrounding Brazoria County area; specific supplier names and material photos appear during checkout. If you want supplier details before ordering, contact our sales team and we can share typical local sources and availability.
Yes, Sweeny’s coastal plain soils often include clay and silty layers that can hold moisture and cause shifting, so installing geotextile fabric is a good idea to separate subgrade from aggregate. For driveways, add a compacted base layer of crusher run or crushed stone beneath the top dressing to improve drainage and reduce rutting.
Grade the site to shed water away from structures and towards approved swales or storm drains, and keep slopes gentle where possible. Use edged borders, French drains, properly sized culverts at gutter crossings, and compacted base layers with filter fabric to limit washout; plan for hurricane-season heavy rains by avoiding low spots where water can pool.
Gravel driveways require periodic maintenance: regrading ruts after storms, removing weeds, and adding a fresh topping every 2-5 years depending on traffic. With a proper base, drainage, and routine upkeep, a gravel driveway in Sweeny can function well for 10 years or more; without those elements it may need more frequent repairs or resurfacing.
Gravel is typically the lowest upfront cost, roughly $1-$3 per sq ft installed for basic coverage, but it requires more ongoing maintenance. Asphalt usually runs about $3-$7 per sq ft and needs sealcoating and periodic resurfacing, while concrete is often $4-$10 per sq ft and has higher upfront cost but lower frequent maintenance. Choose based on budget, desired look, and how much maintenance you will do.
Professional installation costs depend on site prep; expect equipment charges for a small excavator, compactor, and dump truck plus labor. For a typical residential driveway, material plus machine time and labor commonly puts the installation in the range of about $1,000-$5,000, depending on driveway size, soil conditions, and how much earthwork is required—get a local quote for an accurate price.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days, while next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle); you can request tailgate spreading at checkout but drivers perform that service 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.
