Gravel: Coastal Drainage For La Marque • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Support
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 La Marque Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
La Marque is a city of 22,170 located in West Texas with steady, measured growth of 0.28% annually. The local climate—with 203/year sunny days, 54.53 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 9a—creates a landscape where both heavy sun and frequent rain shape yard and site needs. As homes and infrastructure evolve with the citys growth, homeowners and contractors often need reliable aggregates for drainage, erosion control, base material for driveways and patios, and low-maintenance landscaping. Quality gravel delivers stability where local soils can compact or wash away, and homeowners seek consistent, regionally sourced material that stands up to La Marques mix of sun, rain, and coastal influences.Popular Projects in La Marque This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - La Marque gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in La Marque.
For La Marque's coastal soils and heavy-rain events, a layered approach works best: a compacted base of crushed stone (3/4" minus or 1-1/4" minus) for stability, topped with 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone for a driving surface. Crushed, angular stone locks together and resists washout better than rounded rock in storm conditions. Expect local suppliers to offer materials that reflect Galveston County geology, so colors and textures can vary.
Pea gravel (small, rounded 3/8" stones) is decorative and comfortable for walking but tends to migrate, which makes it poor for driveways or steep slopes in La Marque. River rock (rounded, larger stones) drains well and is good for dry creek beds and visible drainage channels, but it can shift during heavy storms. For erosion control and long-term drainage near the coast, crushed angular stone with proper edging and fabric usually performs better than either rounded option.
Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery is scheduled in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Additional charges may apply for tight access, special placement requests, or tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion.
As a rule of thumb, a 1-car driveway (about 10' x 20') at 3-4" depth needs roughly 2 to 4 cubic yards (about 3 to 6 tons). A typical 2-car driveway (20' x 20' or 24' x 24') at the same depth needs about 5 to 9 cubic yards (about 7 to 13 tons). These are estimates; use our material calculator or ask suppliers for a site-specific quote that accounts for compaction and local grade.
For small DIY loads, pickup from a local supplier can save on delivery fees if you have a suitable vehicle. For most driveway or landscaping projects in La Marque, bulk delivery is the most cost-effective and convenient option because it reduces labor and hauling trips. Recycled materials can be cheaper, but quality and consistency vary, so inspect samples and confirm suitability before buying.
Avoid pea gravel on driveways, steep slopes, and low spots prone to stormwater runoff, since it can wash away or spread into lawns during heavy rains and hurricanes. It also makes mowing difficult and can migrate into flower beds and gutters. Use pea gravel only in contained, low-traffic decorative areas with proper edging.
Regulations vary by neighborhood and HOA. Some HOAs and city or county codes may limit gravel driveways, require specific setback or drainage measures, or regulate visible front-yard materials. Check with the City of La Marque Building Department, Galveston County permits office, and your HOA before installing to confirm rules and any permit requirements.
For drainage and storm resilience in La Marque, use a compacted base of 3/4" minus or 1-1/4" minus crushed stone topped with open-graded stone (3/4" or 1/2" clean stone) that allows water to pass through. Combine this with proper grading, a slight crown on driveways, and geotextile fabric to prevent mixing with native sand or clay. Avoid fine, dusty materials as the top layer since they can compact into an impermeable mat during repeated wet/dry cycles.
Many local suppliers and independent contractors in the La Marque and Galveston County area offer basic installation and compaction services or can recommend crews. Rates depend on site prep, access, project size, and equipment needed; smaller jobs may cost a few hundred dollars, while larger driveway installs can run into the thousands. Get multiple written estimates and confirm whether compaction, edging, and grading are included.
Suppliers commonly provide small sample bags so you can check color, texture, and drainage before ordering a large quantity. Natural aggregates have inherent variation, so exact matches are not guaranteed; return and refund policies vary by supplier and are subject to delivery terms and the company's refund policy. Contact Hello Gravel customer service for supplier-specific sample availability and return procedures for La Marque deliveries.

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.
