Why San Antonio Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
San Antonio, Texas, with a city population of 1.6+ million and a metro area population of 2.6+ million, is a growing, sun-drenched region that creates steady demand for durable landscape materials. With a growth rate of 1.80% annually and 228 sunny days annually, homeowners and contractors are expanding driveways, patios, and sustainable yards to match new development and suburban infill. The city’s climate and geography—hardiness zone 8b and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches—mean projects must balance stormwater management with heat resistance. That drives the need for well-graded aggregates that shed water, stabilize soil, and reduce maintenance. Homeowners choose quality gravel for long-lasting driveways, effective drainage solutions, and low-maintenance xeriscapes that perform year-round in San Antonio’s conditions.Popular Projects in San Antonio This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - San Antonio gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in San Antonio.
For common driveway and landscaping gravels in San Antonio, expect roughly $25 to $45 per ton delivered and about $35 to $60 per cubic yard delivered (prices depend on gravel type and local supplier). Regional variations, material type (pea gravel, crushed stone, decomposed granite), and delivery distance can push prices higher, so use these as typical ranges. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, which can affect per-ton cost for small jobs.
A standard tri-axle dump truck in the San Antonio area usually carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 17 tons) of loose gravel. At typical residential rates, a full truckload delivered commonly costs in the $400 to $1,000 range depending on material, exact tonnage, and distance from the quarry. For precise pricing schedule your delivery date via checkout or request a quote through Hello Gravel.
Most local tri-axle dump trucks deliver about 10 to 12 cubic yards (about 14 to 17 tons) of gravel. Spread 10 cubic yards over 1,000 sq ft gives about 0.36 inches depth, so a truckload will cover roughly 400 to 1,500 sq ft depending on desired depth: for example, at 3 inches depth a 10 yd^3 load covers ~360 sq ft, while at 2 inches it covers ~540 sq ft. Exact coverage depends on compaction and material shape.
For 1,000 sq ft: 2 inches requires about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8.7 to 9.0 tons) and 3 inches requires about 9.3 cubic yards (about 13 to 13.5 tons). Using typical San Antonio delivery pricing ($25-$45 per ton), expect a material cost range of about $220 to $610 for 2 inches and about $325 to $1,000 for 3 inches, depending on gravel type and supplier. Use our material calculator or request a quote for an exact price.
Assuming a common single-car driveway width of 10 feet, a 200-foot driveway is 2,000 sq ft. At 2 inches you will need about 12.3 cubic yards (roughly 17 to 18 tons); at 3 inches about 18.5 cubic yards (around 25 to 26 tons). With typical per-ton pricing ($25-$45), material and delivery would commonly run from roughly $425 to $1,170 for 2 inches and $625 to $1,170+ for 3 inches, depending on the gravel type and exact truckload pricing.
For a 40-foot driveway at a 10-foot width (400 sq ft): 2 inches requires about 2.5 cubic yards (about 3.5 to 4.0 tons) and 3 inches requires about 3.7 cubic yards (about 5 to 5.5 tons). Expect delivered material costs in the neighborhood of $90 to $250 for 2 inches and $125 to $375 for 3 inches using typical San Antonio per-ton pricing. Small deliveries may approach our 3-ton minimum, so check the minimum charge when ordering.
Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway that will carry vehicles in San Antonio; it may wash out or compact unevenly during heavy rain events. For vehicle traffic we recommend a surfaced depth of at least 3 to 4 inches over a properly prepared base, and 6 inches or more of compacted base material for higher loads or poor subgrade. Proper preparation (grading, compaction, and optional geotextile) is often more important than just depth.
For most homeowners needing more than a few cubic yards, bulk delivery is the most cost-effective option because it eliminates truck rental, load time, and multiple trips. If you need under 3 tons (Hello Gravel minimum) or only a small bag, pickup or buying at a landscape yard may be cheaper, but factor in vehicle limitations and time. Contractors buying large volumes will usually save by ordering truckloads directly, especially when you account for hauling and labor.
Yes—many homeowners in San Antonio can install gravel themselves for small projects; DIY costs mainly include material, delivery, rental equipment (plate compactor or small roller), and time. Professional installation adds grading, compaction, edging, and drainage solutions and typically increases cost but reduces risk of drainage problems and washouts. For larger or sloped driveways, hiring a pro is often worth it; for small flat areas DIY can save several hundred dollars if you have the time and tools.
A well-built gravel driveway in San Antonio can last many years with periodic maintenance; hot summers and occasional heavy rains mean you will need to regrade and add material periodically. Typical maintenance is light regrading annually and adding 0.5 to 1 inch of new gravel every 3 to 5 years; for a 1,000 sq ft area that replacement is usually under a few hundred dollars. Good drainage and proper initial compaction significantly reduce long-term maintenance needs.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
