Why West Columbia Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
West Columbia has a population of 7,500 and sits within a steadily growing West Texas metro that includes 2.7+ million residents. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually, local home projects and light construction are common as homeowners update yards and add outdoor living spaces. The climate—about 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches—favors outdoor projects year-round, while hardiness zone 8b supports drought-tolerant landscaping choices. Those factors drive demand for dependable aggregates: homeowners need materials that handle occasional heavy rain, promote drainage, and stand up to strong sun. Gravel is a practical, low-maintenance choice for driveways, pathways, French drains, and xeriscaping, and many local property owners seek quality, regionally sourced stone to ensure longevity and consistent performance.Popular Projects in West Columbia This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - West Columbia gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in West Columbia.
Local gravel prices in West Columbia vary by type and supplier. Expect crushed limestone or road base to be about $20 to $40 per ton, pea gravel about $30 to $60 per ton, and crushed rock roughly $25 to $45 per ton. Prices can change with season and delivery distance, so request an exact quote for your zip code.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Many local suppliers offer free delivery within a short radius, while others charge $50 to $150 or more depending on distance and access. We recommend checking shipping costs at checkout and noting delivery access or restrictions in Order Notes.
For West Columbia, crushed limestone, crusher run (road base), and #57 crushed stone are popular because they compact well and shed water. Pea gravel and river rock are good for decorative landscaping but do not compact, so they are less ideal as a primary driveway surface in heavy rain. For driveways use a compacted road base underlayer and a coarser top layer to improve drainage and reduce washouts.
Use the rule: cubic yards = (length ft * width ft * depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons. Typical ranges for West Columbia: a 2-car driveway (20x40 ft) at 4-6" depth needs about 14 to 21 tons; a 3-car driveway (30x50 ft) at 4-6" depth needs about 35 to 53 tons; a 10x20 ft patio at 2-3" depth needs about 2 to 4 tons. Always round up and allow 5-10% extra for compaction and grading.
Permit requirements vary based on whether you connect to a public road, alter a curb or change drainage. Small private driveways on existing residential lots often do not need a city permit, but projects that affect county right-of-way, curb cuts, or drainage may require approval from West Columbia city offices or Brazoria County. Check with the West Columbia city planning or public works department and Brazoria County permitting before you start, and mention any culvert or drainage changes when you inquire.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and hauling contractors serving West Columbia and Brazoria County. For installation (grading, compaction, and laying base), many homeowners hire local landscapers or contractors who offer gravel driveway services; ask for local references and examples of past work. If you need help finding a supplier or installer, get a quote through Hello Gravel and request recommendations in Order Notes.
In West Columbia’s climate expect to regrade and fill low spots after heavy rains, typically once a year or after major storms. Top-up material of about 1/2 to 1 inch is common every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic; a properly built gravel driveway can last 10+ years with regular maintenance. Heavy vehicle use and poor drainage shorten lifespan, so good base preparation and drainage pay off.
Gravel alone is not ideal in frequently flooded sites, but it can work if installed with proper elevation and drainage. Use a well-compacted road base, geotextile fabric, raised grade, and perimeter or French drains to keep water away from the surface. In persistent flood zones consider alternatives or consult a local contractor and check floodplain regulations before building.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost but higher ongoing maintenance, while asphalt and concrete cost more initially and need less frequent upkeep. Rough local ranges: gravel installation can be the most affordable up front, asphalt often costs more per square foot, and concrete is usually the most expensive; over 10-20 years, asphalt or concrete may be cheaper if you factor in frequent gravel top-ups and regrading. Get local quotes and include expected maintenance when comparing life-cycle costs.
Common blends in the area include crusher run (road base), which combines fines and coarse stone for compaction; #57 crushed stone for top dressing; and crushed limestone, which is widely available in Southeast Texas. For rural drives, contractors often install a compacted road base (crusher run) with a coarser wearing layer on top to improve drainage and reduce washboarding.
Measure the area and choose a depth based on use (4-6" for driveways, 2-3" for patios) then use our material calculator or request help from our team. Remember our 3-ton minimum, standard delivery timeline of 2+ business days, and that tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion—add spreading requests in Order Notes. For the best result mention access limitations, preferred delivery date, and any drainage or permit concerns when you order.
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.
