Black Star Gravel 5/8″ – Price / Cubic Yard

DescriptionWhy Choose 5/8″ Black Star Gravel?Black Star Gravel is one of the most popular decorative gravels used in Houston landscaping and hardscape projects. Its deep charcoal-black color creates a bold, modern look that contrasts beautifully with grass, concrete, pavers, and surrounding plants. The angular shape of this 5/8″ basalt rock allows it to compact and lock into place, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas, driveways, walkways, and landscape beds.This gravel also performs well in Houston’s clay soil conditions because it allows water to drain through, helping reduce standing water and mud in problem areas of the yard. Whether you are enhancing curb appeal, improving drainage, or building a durable gravel surface, Black Star Gravel provides a clean, polished, and long-lasting finish for residential and commercial projects.Benefits of Black Star Gravel✔️ Deep charcoal / black color creates a modern, upscale landscape look✔️ Angular rock compacts well and stays in place after installation✔️ Excellent for high-traffic areas such as walkways and driveways✔️ Provides great drainage for side yards and clay soil areas✔️ Low-maintenance and long-lasting decorative gravel✔️ Works well with steel edging, stone borders, or bender board✔️ Suitable for both residential and commercial landscape projectsThis decorative basalt gravel provides a bold contrast against grass, concrete, and pavers, creating a clean and polished finish in your outdoor space.Product SpecificationsMaterial: Basalt rockType: Loose, bulk gravelSize: 5/8” (natural gravel — size may vary)Color: Gray when dry, turns black when wetPackaging options:Bulk loose materialSuper sack bulk bag (1 cubic yard) availableVolume:1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feetCoverage:1 cubic yard covers approximately 80 – 100 sq ft at 2” – 4″ depthWeight:Approximately 2,000 lbs per cubic yardBlack Star Gavel Landscape ApplicationsFrench drainsYard drainageGravel drivewaysGravel parking lot surfacesDriveway bordersLandscape edgingWalkways and pathwaysRock gardensFlower bed foundation bordersDecorative landscape rockBlack Star Gravel Delivery — Houston & Surrounding AreasTexas Garden Materials offers fast and reliable bulk Black Star Gravel delivery for residential and commercial projects.
