Why McAllen Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
McAllen, with a city population of 124,248 and a larger metro area of 865,000, is a growing South Texas center whose steady 0.50% annual growth rate points to ongoing demand for residential and light commercial construction. That steady expansion, combined with 260 sunny days per year and only 22.00 inches of rainfall annually in USDA hardiness zone 9b, means homeowners and contractors are focused on projects that balance heat tolerance, water management, and durable surfaces. As neighborhoods expand and outdoor living spaces become more common, reliable access to bulk materials — from base soils and sand to mulch and aggregate — is essential for foundations, drainage, hardscaping, and low-water landscaping. Quality materials matter here because they affect long-term performance: the right base, correct compaction, and appropriate surface material reduce maintenance, protect against washouts during seasonal storms, and keep irrigation needs manageable.Popular Projects in McAllen This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - McAllen Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in McAllen.
Choose materials based on traffic, drainage, and upkeep rather than one "best" option. In McAllen's hot, humid climate with occasional flooding, pick an aggregate mix that compacts well, sheds water, and resists rutting; regional suppliers can suggest blends that suit local soils. Consider surface stability for vehicles and permeability to reduce pooling after storms.
Delivery costs vary by distance, load size, and delivery speed. Hello Gravel lists clear pricing at checkout, with a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery in 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Request a quote to see itemized pricing for your zip code.
Look for materials that drain well and resist breaking down when wet; mixes that include coarser particles improve drainage and stability. Because regional sourcing affects texture and color, consult local suppliers for blends proven in McAllen. For flood-prone areas, prioritize materials and installation methods that promote quick runoff and are easy to regrade after an event.
Spring through fall are commonly used for landscaping, but avoid scheduling major grading or seeding right before the rainy season to reduce delays. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days; order early for weekend or next-day needs. If temperatures are high, plan work for mornings or late afternoons to protect workers and help materials settle properly.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve most neighborhoods in the McAllen area, but coverage depends on your zip code. Enter your zip code at checkout to confirm availability and delivery fees. If a specific area is outside a supplier's range, customer service can suggest alternatives or nearby pickup options.
Measure the area in square feet and decide the desired depth in inches, then use a material calculator or ask our team to convert that volume into tons. Hello Gravel's website includes calculators and an aggregate quiz to help estimate quantities. For irregular areas or compaction considerations, add 5-10% extra to account for settling and waste.
Installed costs vary widely with material choice, site prep, labor rates, and project complexity. As a rule of thumb, expect materials to be one portion of the total; excavation, grading, subbase, and labor can add substantially to the final price. Get local contractor estimates and factor in seasonal demand when budgeting.
Yes, neighborhoods and municipalities may have rules about surface materials, curb cuts, driveway widths, and delivery access. Check HOA guidelines and contact McAllen city permitting before ordering materials for projects that alter driveways, drainage, or public right-of-way. If in doubt, our team can remind you to verify permits and delivery restrictions during checkout.
Pick materials that improve permeability and resist displacement: coarser, angular aggregates typically provide better drainage and interlock for erosion control. Consider project goals, slope, and runoff patterns; combining a durable base layer with a top layer suited to appearance and wear often works well. Local suppliers can recommend regionally proven mixes for McAllen conditions.
Hello Gravel connects customers with local suppliers who offer competitive, negotiated rates; contractors may get better per-ton pricing on larger orders. For high-volume or recurring purchases, contact our sales team to discuss discounts and direct supplier options. Remember minimum order requirements and delivery logistics when comparing wholesale deals.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, usually tri-axle trucks, so plan for truck access, turning, and a safe drop zone. You can choose a delivery date during checkout; standard lead time is 2+ business days and next-day is available before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety on arrival.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
