Frequently Asked Questions - Galveston gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Galveston.
A 50 lb bag of gravel contains about 0.5 cubic feet of material, which will cover roughly 6 sq ft at 1 inch deep, 3 sq ft at 2 inches, or 2 sq ft at 3 inches. Coverage can vary by gravel type and moisture content, so use our online calculator for exact needs. Keep in mind Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order for delivery, so bags are best for very small projects or touch-ups.
Prices vary by material type, delivery distance, and truck size, but a typical delivered load in Galveston often ranges from about $300 to $1,200 depending on whether you buy by the ton or by the yard. Local factors like supplier availability, next-day delivery requests, and site access can change cost, so request a quote through Hello Gravel to get an accurate price for your zip code. Remember we arrange local suppliers and haulers and standard delivery is 2+ business days with a 3-ton minimum.
No, 2 inches is not sufficient for a stable driveway. For driveways in Galveston you should plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted aggregate over a well-prepared subgrade, and in areas with poor drainage or soft coastal soils you may need 6 to 8 inches and a base layer of larger stone. Proper compaction and drainage are essential in Galveston’s sandy, sometimes wet conditions to prevent rutting and washout.
Yes, you can lay gravel on soil, but it is best to prepare the site first: remove vegetation, grade and compact the soil, and consider installing geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with the soil. For Galveston’s coastal conditions we recommend a compacted base of larger crushed stone under the finish gravel to improve drainage and stability, especially in low-lying or flood-prone yards. Drivers for Hello Gravel can dump material where you designate, and you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, though it is at the driver’s discretion.
Common choices you will find around Galveston include pea gravel (small rounded stones good for paths and patios), crushed stone (angular rock used for driveways and base layers), and river rock (larger rounded stones for decorative beds and drainage). Regional suppliers may offer variations in color and texture that reflect local geology, so photos may not be an exact match. Use our material quiz or contact our team to pick the best type for your project.
Color is mostly a design choice, but light-colored gravels keep surfaces cooler in Galveston’s sun and blend well with a beach or coastal palette, while darker gravels can hide stains and contrast with plantings. Because regional sourcing affects color, you can add color preferences in Order Notes at checkout and we will try to match them, though exact matches are not guaranteed. Consider local landscaping styles and heat exposure when choosing color.
Yes, some lower-cost alternatives include recycled crushed concrete, local screenings, or decomposed granite, which can be cheaper depending on local supply. Keep in mind cheap materials may perform differently in Galveston’s coastal environment; recycled materials can have varying drainage and compaction properties. Compare long-term maintenance and drainage needs before choosing the lowest-cost option.
Yes, many higher-end Galveston homes use gravel for modern driveways, pathways, and coastal-style landscaping because it offers a clean, low-maintenance look and good drainage. Designers often combine premium crushed stone or decorative river rock with edging, pavers, or plantings to achieve a polished appearance. If you want a specific look, tell us in Order Notes and we will source local materials that match your style where possible.
Local costs can influence delivery and labor rates, so projects in Galveston may reflect regional pricing for materials and hauling. Supply availability, truck access, and any required permits or coastal zone rules can also impact total project cost. Request a quote from Hello Gravel to see site-specific pricing and delivery options for your address.
Galveston’s beaches are primarily sand rather than gravel or pebbles, so you will not find natural gravel beaches along the island. However, pea gravel and decorative pebbles sold by local suppliers can recreate a beach-like look for pathways or yard accents and are widely available through Hello Gravel. Be mindful that using beach-style materials in yards near the coast requires attention to drainage and salt exposure to avoid premature wear.
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.
