Why The Woodlands Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
The Woodlands, with a city population of 120,283 and a metro area population of 7.1+ million, is a growing suburban community northwest of Houston experiencing steady development with a growth rate of 1.80% annually. Its subtropical setting—about 205 sunny days per year and average annual rainfall of 48.00 inches in USDA hardiness zone 9b—creates consistent demand for durable landscape and construction materials. Homeowners and contractors in The Woodlands regularly need aggregates for projects that manage runoff, stabilize driveways, define garden beds, and support hardscaping. That steady growth and frequent outdoor use mean people look for quality gravel that balances drainage, durability, and aesthetic fit with local soils and plantings. Choosing the right gravel helps reduce erosion during heavy rains, lower maintenance under strong sun, and provide a stable base for patios and edging, so reliable supply and proper sizing matter for long-term performance.Popular Projects in The Woodlands This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - The Woodlands gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in The Woodlands.
A cubic yard of most gravel weighs about 1.3 to 1.6 tons, with 1.4 tons being a common rule of thumb. Local rock type affects the weight (denser materials like granite weigh more), so use 1.4 tons per cubic yard for quick estimates and ask your supplier for exact figures.
Material plus delivery usually runs roughly $30 to $90 per ton depending on the type (basic crushed stone at the low end, decorative pea gravel at the high end). Add labor and site prep for installation—expect about $2 to $6 per square foot for typical driveway or landscape installs after base prep—prices vary by contractor and HOA requirements, so get a local quote.
A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers about 10 to 14 tons of gravel (roughly 7 to 10 cubic yards), though exact capacity varies by truck and local weight limits. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; for a full truckload expect material plus delivery to fall into the per-ton ranges above, but request a quote for an accurate delivered price to your zip code.
Avoid pea gravel on steep slopes, high-traffic walkways, around bare feet, or where wheelchair/stroller access is needed—it shifts easily and can wash out in heavy Texas rains. In The Woodlands' clay soils and periodic heavy storms, pea gravel may require edging and good base preparation to prevent movement and drainage problems.
No—pea gravel does not reliably repel insects. In some cases it may reduce termites compared with wood mulch, but it can still harbor ants or provide hiding spots for pests; good drainage, proper edging, and keeping gravel away from direct contact with wood structures are better insect-mitigation steps.
'Texas black' is a regional marketing name that usually refers to dark-colored decorative rock—either washed black river rock, crushed dark basalt, or locally quarried dark stone. Availability and exact appearance vary by supplier, so check local photos or request a sample before ordering to match your design and HOA rules.
Gravel itself doesn't turn into concrete, but products like crusher-run (crusher fines) compacted with stone dust or resin-stabilized aggregates and polymeric binders create a hard, stable surface. For a concrete-like, permeable finish consider stabilized gravel systems or pavers set in compacted base; consult a contractor about drainage and freeze/thaw suitability in southeast Texas.
Yes—well-chosen decorative gravel can enhance curb appeal, but many upscale neighborhoods and HOAs in The Woodlands have design rules about color, edge treatments, and plant spacing. Choose premium decorative rock, neat edging, and professional installation (and check HOA guidelines) to keep your landscaping looking intentional and value-enhancing.
The 3-3-3 rule is for mulch and not a perfect fit for gravel; instead, use 2 to 3 inches of decorative gravel for topdressing, or 3 to 4 inches if you want stronger weed suppression. Always keep gravel a few inches away from tree trunks and plant crowns to prevent moisture buildup and inspect irrigation to avoid overwatering under the stone in The Woodlands' humid climate.
Gravel itself lasts many years, but it will shift, thin out, and collect organic debris over time—expect to refresh decorative gravel every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic, bed design, and rainfall. In The Woodlands you may need more frequent raking, replenishing after heavy storms, and occasional weed control; good base prep and edging reduce maintenance.
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.
