Why Del Rio Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Del Rio, with a population of 48,508, sits in a fast-changing West Texas landscape growing at 0.40% annually. The city’s climate — 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a planting hardiness zone of 8b — drives specific outdoor needs for homeowners and contractors alike. That steady growth and active local development mean more driveways, patios, drainage projects, and low-maintenance yards are being planned and renovated. Homeowners in Del Rio look for aggregates that balance durability with good drainage, resist sun-related breakdown, and complement local soil and plant choices. Gravel is often chosen because it reduces erosion on slopes, creates stable walking and driving surfaces, and is a cost-effective base for paving and landscaping in this semi-arid environment. Gravel works well in Del Rio’s conditions because it sheds water fast during sudden storms and resists compaction under hot, sunny conditions. Properly sized crushed gravel or river rock helps manage runoff from infrequent but intense rains while limiting dust on dry days. Hello Gravel sources local materials that reflect Del Rio’s geology, connects you with trusted suppliers, and schedules dump-truck delivery so you get the right gravel for driveways, drainage trenches, garden beds, or base layers without the hassle of sourcing and coordinating multiple vendors.Popular Projects in Del Rio This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Del Rio gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Del Rio.
Local retail prices vary by material and hauling distance, but expect typical 2025 ranges of about $20-$45 per ton for common crushed limestone and base gravels, $25-$60 per ton for #57, and $40-$100+ per ton for larger river rock or decorative stone. A cubic yard of gravel generally equals about 1.3-1.5 tons depending on rock type, so convert prices accordingly. Final price on Hello Gravel includes delivery and depends on supplier, order size, and distance from source.
Suppliers around Del Rio commonly stock crushed limestone, base gravel (crusher run), #57 stone, pea gravel, and river rock. For driveways and ranch roads choose crusher run or base gravel for the load-bearing base and top with 3/4" crushed limestone or #57 for traction and drainage; river rock and pea gravel are mainly decorative and can shift under vehicle traffic.
Del Rio is served by regional quarries, landscape yards, and aggregate haulers in Val Verde County and nearby West Texas hubs; Hello Gravel will connect you with the closest trusted suppliers. Typical delivery minimums in the area are 3 tons (our platform minimum) to 5-6 tons for some local suppliers, and delivery radius fees may apply beyond 30-50 miles; exact minimums vary by supplier and truck availability.
Del Rio’s heat and local clay soils make drainage the priority: clay holds water and can cause puddling and rutting under traffic. Choose angular crushed stone (like crushed limestone) and incorporate a compacted base with good crown and cross-slope, plus geotextile fabric under the gravel in low spots to separate clay and improve longevity.
For light residential use (1-car), install 4-6 inches compacted of base/gravel over fabric. For a 2-car driveway use 6-8 inches compacted with a stronger base layer, and for heavy farm or equipment access use 8-12 inches with a coarse base rock and tighter compaction. Compact each layer with a plate compactor or roller, create a slight crown for drainage, and do 2-3 passes until firm.
Standard delivery via tri-axle dump trucks is often included or charged per ton; local delivery fees depend on distance and supplier but commonly add $10-$40 per ton beyond nearby quarries. Tailgate spreading is offered at the driver's discretion; if available, expect additional labor/equipment fees commonly ranging from $50 to $200+ depending on job size, and machine spreading or skid-steer services will be quoted separately.
Most residential gravel driveways in Del Rio do not require a special permit, but regulations can vary by neighborhood, HOA, or if the work affects public right-of-way or a state road. For driveway cuts, curb changes, or access to county or state roads check with Del Rio city building department, Val Verde County, or TxDOT for permit requirements, and verify any HOA rules before starting.
In Del Rio’s climate with seasonal storms and vehicle use, expect to regrade and top up high-traffic driveways every 1-3 years, with minor spot fills more frequently after heavy rains. Common maintenance measures include regrading with a box blade or rake, adding 1-3 inches of fresh stone as needed, installing geotextile fabric under the surface, and using edge restraints or gravel stabilizer grids for longer-lasting results.
Gravel is generally the lowest upfront cost per square foot, while asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but require less frequent routine topping. Over a driveway life, asphalt and concrete can have lower maintenance frequency but higher repair costs; choose gravel if budget and ease of repair are priorities, and choose asphalt/concrete if you want a smoother, lower-dust surface with less frequent maintenance.
Locally available decorative options include pea gravel, colored crushed stone, decomposed granite, and river rock; color and texture reflect local geology so shades and sizes vary. Price ranges commonly run from $25-$70 per ton for pea gravel and decomposed granite, and $40-$100+ per ton for larger river rock or specialty color stone, depending on whether material is local or hauled from farther away.
Yes—geotextile fabric is strongly recommended over clay soils or where drainage is poor because it separates fine soils from stone and reduces washout and rutting. For high-traffic or slope areas consider gravel stabilizer grids or polymer stabilizers to lock stone in place and reduce migration; these add upfront cost but cut maintenance needs in Del Rio’s climate.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth in inches, then use the common conversion that 1 cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches depth and 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.3-1.5 tons depending on the stone. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions and project type for a precise recommendation and delivery scheduling.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
