5/8″ Black Star Gravel – Bulk (Cubic Yard)

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.
