Gravel: Durable Drainage For Vidor Yards • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Options Available
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 Vidor Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Vidor (city population 22,475) sits within a growing West Texas metro (metro area population 2.5+ million) where steady expansion and a warm, sunny climate shape homeowner needs. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually, many residents are investing in outdoor projects that add curb appeal and improve property function. Vidor averages 225 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.50 inches, and it falls in hardiness zone 8b — conditions that favor durable, low-maintenance landscapes. That combination of sun, occasional heavy rains, and ongoing development drives demand for quality aggregates like gravel for driveways, drainage trenches, erosion control, and low-maintenance garden beds. Gravel performs well in Vidor’s climate because it sheds water, reduces mud after storms, and tolerates intense sun without breaking down. For local projects, crushed stone or properly graded gravel helps stabilize driveways, improve surface drainage during the 34.50-inch rainy season, and limit weed growth under 225 sunny days of exposure. Hello Gravel simplifies sourcing by connecting homeowners with trusted local suppliers, arranging professional dump-truck delivery, and letting you pick the right material for your site — all through a single online checkout and local support team.Popular Projects in Vidor This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Vidor gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Vidor.
Costs vary by gravel type, quantity, and supplier, but expect roughly $25-$60 per ton delivered in the Vidor/West Texas area as a general range. Homeowners ordering small loads usually pay closer to retail rates and delivery fees, while contractors buying larger quantities often get volume discounts. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows delivery fees and next-day options at checkout, so check your zip code for specific pricing.
Gravel for Vidor projects is typically sourced from regional quarries and suppliers in Southeast Texas and nearby West Texas pits, often around the Beaumont-Port Arthur corridor. Hello Gravel connects you with local, vetted suppliers and contracted haulers so you get material representative of local geology. For exact supplier names and local availability, enter your zip code on our site or contact our team.
For Vidor's coastal plain soils and periodic heavy rains, a crushed stone with some fines (for example 3/4" crushed limestone or 3/4" minus) works well as a stable base and compacts nicely. Use a larger, angular rock (1"-1 1/2") for a drainage layer where needed and pea gravel or screened stone only as a top dressing for appearance, not as the main structural layer. Adding a geotextile fabric and a compacted base helps prevent rutting on clay soils.
Using a typical gravel density, you will need about 0.9 tons for 2" depth, about 1.3 tons for 3" depth, and about 1.7 tons for 4" depth per 100 sq ft. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, one delivery at minimum covers roughly 175 to 350 sq ft depending on the depth you choose. Always round up for waste, grading, and compaction needs.
Clean, crushed rock such as 3/4" drain rock or larger 1"-2" crushed stone provides excellent drainage for channels and French drains, while larger river rock or riprap helps protect banks from erosion during heavy rains. Combining a layer of larger rock in drainage lines with finer, angular gravel on surfaces gives both runoff control and a stable walking or driving surface. Use landscape fabric under the stone to slow underlying soil movement and improve longevity.
Crushed limestone is usually the most economical option in the Vidor/West Texas region, followed by pea gravel, with decorative river rock generally costing the most due to sourcing and handling. Typical delivered price ranges (estimates) are roughly $20-$35/ton for crushed limestone, $30-$60/ton for pea gravel, and $40-$100/ton for river rock depending on size and availability. Final prices depend on local supply, haul distance, and whether you request delivery or spreading services.
Gravel driveways in Vidor typically need periodic grading and adding fresh gravel every 1-5 years depending on traffic, drainage, and weather; deeper base construction reduces maintenance. With proper base preparation, good drainage, and occasional top-ups, expect 10-25 years of useful life before major rehabilitation is needed. Keep drainage ditches clear and refill low spots after heavy rains to prevent potholes and washouts.
Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and easy to install or modify, but requires more maintenance; expect $1-$3 per sq ft installed for typical gravel driveways. Asphalt offers a smoother, mid-range option with moderate maintenance, commonly $3-$6 per sq ft, while concrete is the most durable and costly option at about $6-$12 per sq ft installed. Check Vidor city permits and any HOA restrictions before choosing, and factor in life-cycle costs and drainage needs for your site.
Some Vidor neighborhoods and HOAs restrict loose gravel or require specific materials and edging, and the city or county may have setback and drainage requirements. Hello Gravel recommends checking your HOA covenants and contacting the City of Vidor building or planning department before ordering. If you need help, our team can flag common permitting issues in your area when you enter your zip code.
Avoid installing loose gravel during or immediately before Vidor's heavy rain periods, since runoff can wash fresh material away; plan installations for dry spells to allow proper compaction. Extreme summer heat is not usually a problem for gravel itself, but dusty conditions can be reduced by using coarser, moister material during installation and compacting thoroughly. If you need spreading services, request it at checkout but note drivers perform tailgate spreading at their discretion.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
