1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
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.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.

Why Alamo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alamo's city population of 31,180 and a modest growth rate of 0.70% annually point to steady demand for home improvement and incremental development rather than rapid speculative building. That steady expansion, combined with a metro area population of 2.5+ million, means local homeowners can expect ongoing investment in landscaping, driveway upgrades, and outdoor living projects—projects that rely on dependable bulk materials. With 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.80 inches, and location in hardiness zone 8b, material choices need to balance sun exposure, occasional heavy rains, and plant selection. Regional sourcing matters here: locally sourced aggregates, soils, and mulches will better match the area’s color, texture, and drainage needs, helping installations perform well over time across patios, beds, and driveways.Popular Projects in Alamo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alamo Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Alamo.
Start by defining the project goal (drainage, load-bearing, ground cover, or decorative), the expected traffic, and your budget. Consider local climate and soil when choosing between gravel, sand, dirt, stone and pick a size or mix that meets compaction and drainage needs. Use our material calculator and contact our team for zone-specific guidance and photos of local options.
Think in layers: an appropriate base for support and a finished surface for appearance and traction. Choose materials that compact well and resist washout during seasonal rains, and add edging or geotextile fabric to keep materials in place. If you need help matching a look or estimating quantities, our tools and sales team can assist.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area, then use the volume calculation (area x depth) and convert to tons using our online calculator. Remember our 3-ton minimum order and allow extra for compaction and settling. If you’re unsure, send photos and measurements and we can help estimate.
Alamo typically has hot summers and seasonal rains, so choose materials and installation windows that account for heat-related drying and occasional heavy downpours. Avoid installing loose materials right before forecasted rain, and plan heavier work outside peak heat when possible for safer, better compaction. Regional sourcing means color and texture may vary from photos.
In hotter, drier periods you may see more dust, minor settling, and slower vegetation establishment; during rains you could see washout or displacement on slopes. Proper grading, compaction, edging, and choosing the right material size can reduce these issues. If stability is a concern, consider geotextile fabric, edging, or a stronger base layer.
Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days; next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Choose a delivery date at checkout and avoid scheduling during forecasted heavy rain. We’ll confirm delivery timing; exact arrival windows can vary based on supplier and traffic.
Delivery range and fees depend on local suppliers and the truck routing; many areas have free delivery for typical distances, while long hauls or remote drop zones may add charges. All deliveries use dump trucks (usually tri-axle), and the minimum order is 3 tons. You’ll see any delivery fees up front in checkout for your zip code.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and access on arrival. If precise spreading is important, plan to hire a local crew or contractor to finish and fine-grade the material after delivery.
Check your city codes and any homeowner association rules before ordering, especially for driveway changes, front-yard landscaping, or curbside deliveries. Rules vary by neighborhood and may include limits on material types, coverage, or drainage changes. Hello Gravel can supply delivery details and documentation, but you should confirm permits and HOA requirements yourself.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and angularity may vary based on local geology. Product photos are representative; the actual material delivered may differ slightly in shade or grain. If color or consistency is critical, request photos from local suppliers before delivery.
Cost depends on material type, quantity, delivery distance, and any extras like next-day service or spreading. Prices can vary widely by supplier and season; for a clear price, request a quote for your zip code and project size. Our checkout shows transparent pricing so you can compare options before you buy.
Homeowners often search terms like 'bulk material delivery and spread,' 'supply and install gravel,' 'driveway prep and delivery,' or 'landscape material pickup and delivery.' Contractors typically list scope items such as site prep, base installation, material supply, compaction, and finishing to clarify exactly what the price includes. Clear photos, project dimensions, and references help homeowners compare bids.
Contact our team as soon as possible — changes are easier before the order is processed and the truck is dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications may be limited once a supplier or driver is assigned. Check your order confirmation for contact info and timelines.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
