Why Alvin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alvin has a city population of 48,823 and sits within a metro area population of 2.5+ million, with an annual growth rate of 0.70%. That steady, incremental growth means ongoing demand for home improvement, landscaping updates, and incremental construction rather than a sudden building boom — homeowners are more often doing targeted projects like driveway repairs, yard regrading, and garden upgrades. Alvin's climate — hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and annual rainfall of 34.80 inches — favors outdoor living and low-maintenance landscapes, but also creates specific needs: materials must balance drainage and erosion control, resist sun-bleaching and dust, and provide stable bases for heavier loads. For these reasons, reliable access to bulk materials such as soils, sands, aggregates, and mulches matters; local sourcing also means texture and color reflect regional geology, so choices affect appearance, performance, and maintenance over time.Popular Projects in Alvin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alvin Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Alvin.
Prices vary by material and local supply, and are usually quoted per ton or per cubic yard. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing for your zip code at checkout; final cost depends on material type, delivery distance, and any special services. For a quick estimate use the material calculator or request a quote for Alvin (77511).
Choose materials that compact well and provide good drainage so surfaces resist rutting and washouts in heavy rain. In general, denser, angular aggregates perform better under traffic than fine, loose materials; consider a firm base, adequate depth, and periodic topping to extend life. Also factor in local soil and drainage when picking a material for long-term durability.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons; delivery fees vary by distance, access, and truck size. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days with many areas offering free delivery; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Any additional charges for tight access, long offloads, or special requests will be shown during checkout or quoted upfront.
Materials that compact well and shed water tend to be lower-maintenance in hot, humid and rainy conditions. Coarser, well-draining mixes usually require only occasional regrading or topping, while fine sands and loose soils often wash or migrate and need more frequent attention. Proper installation, grading, and drainage are the biggest factors in reducing maintenance needs.
Yes, Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers that commonly serve both city and nearby rural addresses. Delivery availability depends on your exact zip code, road access, and truck type, so enter your zip at checkout or contact our team to confirm service. Rural deliveries may have different fees or access requirements, which will be communicated during booking.
Summer heat and humidity and the peak storm season (late spring through early fall) can affect workability and delivery windows. Expect longer lead times during busy months and potential delays when severe weather is forecast. To avoid issues, schedule deliveries and work for milder months when possible and allow extra buffer time in your project timeline.
Alvin-area soils can vary; clay-rich soils hold water and may need a thicker aggregate base and improved drainage to prevent settling. Materials that promote drainage and mixing with the native ground, plus proper grading and possibly a geotextile underlayment, improve performance. If you have known drainage problems, plan for subsurface drainage or adjust material selection accordingly.
You may need a permit or HOA approval depending on what you change and where you live; common rules cover driveway materials, curb cuts, and impermeable surface limits. Check with City of Alvin building or planning departments and your HOA before ordering to avoid rework. If unsure, contact our team—planning ahead is easier than changing materials after delivery.
Prioritize materials that resist movement and encourage stable flow paths, combined with proper grading and vegetation. Coarser aggregates help slow water, reduce erosion, and allow faster drainage than fine soils; use them with berms, swales, or rock-lined channels as needed. For large or complex sites, pair material selection with grading plans or professional advice to protect slopes and channels.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout but note it is not guaranteed. Compaction, site cleanup, or fine grading are usually not included with standard delivery but can often be arranged separately through local contractors. Add any special instructions in Order Notes and contact customer service if you need help coordinating additional services.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
