Why Bay City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bay City has a population of 20,521 and sits within a steadily growing West Texas region with a metro area population of 2.5+ million and a growth rate of 0.40% annually. With 228/year sunny days and average annual rainfall of 34.32 inches, Bay City's climate supports outdoor living but also drives demand for durable, low-maintenance landscaping and infrastructure. Homeowners and local contractors are investing in driveways, drainage upgrades, and drought-tolerant yards as construction activity responds to regional growth. Gravel is a practical, cost-efficient aggregate for these needs: it stabilizes driveways, creates permeable pathways, provides a stable base for patios and pavers, and helps manage runoff along slopes and around downspouts. Because regional geology affects texture and color, Bay City buyers often prefer locally sourced grades that match soil conditions and neighborhood aesthetics. Gravel performs well in Bay City's environment—its permeability helps move the area's 34.32 inches of annual rainfall away from foundations, while exposed surfaces tolerate 228/year sunny days and the warm Hardiness Zone 8b conditions. Locally sourced gravel tends to settle predictably with native soils and resists the surface cracking that can come with intense sun. Hello Gravel connects Bay City homeowners with vetted local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, offering transparent pricing, a minimum order of 3 tons, and scheduling that fits your project timeline. Request tailgate spreading at checkout; drivers may assist at their discretion, and our team can help calculate quantities and recommend the right gravel grade for your site.Popular Projects in Bay City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bay City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Bay City.
Hello Gravel connects you with local Bay City and Matagorda County suppliers who deliver by dump truck. Minimum orders are typically 3 tons; deliveries are usually made by tri-axle trucks to residential and commercial addresses, but check driveway access and overhead clearance before delivery.
Local prices vary by product and season, but expect a rough range of $20 to $60 per ton for common crushed stone and base mixes, and $40 to $90 per ton for decorative or specialty gravels. One cubic yard of gravel is about 1.3 to 1.5 tons, so multiply the per-ton price by about 1.4 to estimate per-yard cost.
For driveways, a 3/4" crushed stone or #57 limestone with a compacted crusher-run base is common in the Bay City area because it locks together and handles vehicle traffic. For drainage, washed pea gravel, river rock, or larger crushed stone work better to move water; consider proper base preparation because local clayey soils can hold water and lead to rutting without good subgrade and drainage.
A 10x50 ft driveway (500 sq ft) will need roughly 4.5 cubic yards (about 6 to 7 tons) at a 3" depth and about 9.0 cubic yards (about 12 to 13 tons) at a 6" depth. Most residential gravel driveways use 3" to 4" of finished gravel over a compacted base, so plan on roughly 5 to 10 cubic yards depending on depth and compaction.
Rules vary: Bay City and Matagorda County may have specific setback, drainage, or curb-cut requirements, and many HOAs have surfacing and appearance rules. Check with Bay City permitting or Matagorda County public works and with your HOA before ordering to confirm permitting, culvert, or drainage requirements.
Service offerings vary by supplier and local contractors; some suppliers or haulers provide basic spreading and grading at the driver's discretion, but full removal and installation are usually handled by landscape or excavation contractors. Ask for installation or removal services when you request a quote so Hello Gravel can connect you to suppliers or contractors that offer those services if available.
Yes, suppliers often provide volume discounts or commercial pricing for large orders and repeat customers. Contact our sales team with project details and quantities so we can request competitive commercial pricing and delivery options from local suppliers.
Standard delivery times are typically 2 or more business days from order placement, with next-day delivery sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Keep in mind lead time can vary with supplier stock, weather, and truck availability, so schedule ahead for large projects.
Many Bay City-area suppliers stock decorative gravels like colored stone, river rock, and crushed decorative mixes, but availability depends on regional sourcing. Ask for samples or a small sample bag through the order notes so you can check color and texture before placing a large order; remember natural color varies by region.
Most common gravels are fine for Bay City's coastal-adjacent properties, but near saltwater you should avoid materials that degrade with chloride exposure if they contact metal or concrete. If your project involves concrete, metal fixtures, or specialized coastal exposure, mention the waterfront location to your supplier so they can recommend nonreactive stone types or protective measures.
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.
