Why Alamo Heights Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alamo Heights has a city population of 993,588 and sits inside a growing West Texas region with a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually and a semi-arid climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b—local homeowners are balancing drought-tolerant landscaping with reliable stormwater management. That combination drives steady demand for quality aggregates: gravel for driveways, pathways, French drains, erosion control, and base material for patios and pavers. Homeowners choose dependable gravel to reduce muddy yards after seasonal storms, improve drainage on sloped lots, and create low-maintenance surfaces that stand up to strong sun and sporadic heavy rains. Gravel works well in Alamo Heights because it promotes fast drainage during the region's rain events while resisting breakdown under prolonged sun exposure. Angular crushed gravel provides interlock for driveways and drainage beds; rounded pea gravel offers a comfortable surface for patios and walkways. Hello Gravel simplifies sourcing by connecting you with local suppliers whose materials reflect regional geology, offering clear pricing and scheduled delivery (standard 2+ business days or next-day if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee) so your project stays on time without surprise trips to the quarry.Popular Projects in Alamo Heights This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alamo Heights gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Alamo Heights.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum for most deliveries to Alamo Heights. Typical material prices near San Antonio range roughly $25 to $60 per ton depending on type (crushed limestone at the low end, specialty rock at the high end). Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance but commonly run between $0 and $150; some orders qualify for free delivery. For a ballpark: a 3-ton order is often $100-$300 total, 5 tons $150-$400, and 10 tons $300-$800, depending on material and delivery distance.
Crushed limestone is a common and reliable choice in Alamo Heights because it compacts well, resists washout, and is widely available from local suppliers. Decomposed granite looks natural and is popular for paths and patios but can wash or compact into a hard surface after heavy rains. Pea gravel drains well and stays cooler underfoot but shifts more on slopes and high-traffic areas, so it is better for decorative uses than primary drive surfaces.
Hello Gravel connects you to regional quarries, landscape supply yards, and trucking companies serving the Alamo Heights/San Antonio area rather than delivering with branded trucks. Delivery fees depend on truck routing and distance from the quarry but typically fall between free (for nearby loads) and about $100-$150 for longer local hauls. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our sales team to see exact suppliers and delivery fees for your address.
A 2-car gravel driveway (about 400–600 sq ft) typically costs between $1,200 and $4,000 for materials plus installation, depending on site prep, depth, and material chosen. Simpler installations with minimal excavation and 3–4 inch gravel depth will be toward the low end, while projects needing grading, base rock, edging, or compaction can increase costs. Get a local on-site estimate to capture driveway slope, soil conditions, and permit or HOA requirements that affect price.
Using a typical crushed gravel density (~1.4 tons per cubic yard), expect about 0.0086 tons per sq ft at 2 inches, 0.0130 tons per sq ft at 3 inches, and 0.0173 tons per sq ft at 4 inches. A practical rule: per 100 sq ft you will need about 0.86 tons for 2", 1.30 tons for 3", and 1.73 tons for 4". Actual tonnage varies with material density and compaction, so round up slightly and check your supplier's density if you need a precise number.
For slopes and drainage control in Alamo Heights, use angular crushed rock (for example 3/4" crushed limestone) for stability and a 1–2" washed drain rock where you need water to move quickly. On steep sections consider larger rock or riprap and install proper swales, French drains, or geotextile fabric to limit migration. Work with a contractor to tie gravel slopes into grading and runoff plans common in West Texas storm events.
Most homeowners need to loose-fill or regrade gravel driveways every 1–5 years depending on traffic, soil type, and storm exposure. In neighborhoods with heavy summer storms or concentrated runoff you may regrade annually; lower-traffic residential drives often need topping every 2–4 years. Regular maintenance (filling ruts, re-compacting, and redirecting water) extends intervals between larger deliveries.
Rules vary by property; many Alamo Heights properties are subject to city ordinances or neighborhood association covenants that regulate driveway appearance and materials. Before removing paving, contact the Alamo Heights city planning department and check your HOA or deed restrictions to confirm permitted materials and any permit requirements. If in doubt, request guidance from the city or your HOA board to avoid fines or required rework.
Crushed limestone is durable, compacts well for walkways and patios, and is usually mid-priced; it is a practical choice for long-term durability. Decomposed granite offers a natural look and is popular in West Texas landscapes but can require more maintenance after heavy rains and may harden over time. Pea gravel is inexpensive and attractive for casual patios but shifts underfoot and is less suitable for dining areas or wheelchair access.
Yes. Avoid scheduling deliveries during heavy storms or when yard access is muddy, because trucks can rut lawns and materials can wash out before compaction. Summer heat does not prevent delivery but can affect installer availability and drying times for surface-setting materials; spring and fall are often the easiest windows for driveway and patio installs. When you order, select your preferred date at checkout and note that tailgate spreading is offered at the driver's discretion based on site safety.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
