Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base

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.

Why Hidalgo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a city population of 16,090 and a metro area of 2.5+ million residents, Hidalgo sits in a growing West Texas region with a steady 0.80% annual growth rate. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—encourages frequent outdoor work and steady demand for landscaping and repair materials. Homeowners here often need durable, low-maintenance surfacing for driveways, pathways, and yard drainage that can handle both intense sun and periodic heavy rain. Quality aggregates are sought after because they stabilize soil, improve stormwater runoff, reduce dust during dry months, and provide an economical base for patios, walkways, and garden beds. As development and small-scale construction continue across the region, clear quantity estimates and dependable delivery become essential for timely, cost-effective projects.Popular Projects in Hidalgo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hidalgo gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hidalgo.
Prices vary by supplier and stone size, but in Hidalgo expect pea gravel to fall within a typical local range. For a precise delivered price, request a quote on Hello Gravel; we show local, transparent pricing and you can compare suppliers. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next‑day available for orders placed before noon CST.
Texas black gravel refers to dark decorative crushed stone (often basalt or dark limestone) used for landscaping and accents. It creates a modern look in Hidalgo yards but can absorb more heat in the Rio Grande Valley sun, so avoid using large expanses where surface temperature matters. Order samples or note color preferences in Checkout to ensure you get the shade you want.
River gravel is naturally rounded and ranges from small pebbles to larger stones, while pea gravel is small (about 1/8" to 3/8") and uniformly rounded. Pea gravel is good for walkways and play areas, while river rock is better for drainage features, dry creek beds, and decorative borders in Hidalgo landscapes. Both reflect regional sourcing, so shapes and colors may vary locally.
Coverage depends on truck size and desired depth. A typical tri‑axle dump truck delivers about 10–12 cubic yards (roughly 13–18 tons), and one cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2" depth or 81 sq ft at 4" depth. Ask Hello Gravel for the specific truck size and a calculator estimate when you order to get an accurate coverage figure for your project.
No, 2 inches is usually not sufficient for a driveway that will support vehicles. For a stable, long‑lasting driveway in Hidalgo you generally need a compacted base (4–6" of road base or crusher run) and a 1–2" top layer of decorative gravel. If you want a hard, drivable surface, consider road base or crusher run rather than just loose pea gravel.
Avoid pea gravel on steep slopes, driveways, high‑traffic areas, or wheelchair and stroller paths because it shifts underfoot and under wheels. Also skip pea gravel where erosion is a concern during heavy summer rains in Hidalgo, unless it is well contained with edging and a stabilizing base. For those situations, use crushed stone with fines or a stabilized product instead.
Products like crusher run, road base, or compactable aggregate contain fines that compact tightly and form a firm surface suitable for driveways. These materials are different from loose decorative gravels and are commonly used as a structural base in Hidalgo before a topcoat. If you want a stone surface that behaves more like pavement, choose a compactable mix and have it properly graded and compacted.
One cubic yard of decorative gravel like Blackstar covers about 162 sq ft at a 2" depth, 108 sq ft at a 3" depth, and 81 sq ft at a 4" depth. Actual coverage can vary with stone size and settling, so order a little extra or check Hello Gravel's material calculator to match your desired finish and depth. Local batches in Hidalgo may vary slightly in particle size, which affects coverage.
Buying in bulk (tons) and scheduling standard delivery (2+ business days) is usually the most economical approach. Compare local supplier quotes on Hello Gravel, combine orders if you have multiple projects nearby, and avoid last‑minute next‑day deliveries to reduce fees. Keep the minimum order (3 tons) in mind when calculating per‑ton savings.
A 50 lb bag of pea gravel covers only a small area: roughly 3–4 sq ft at a 2" depth, depending on stone density. For most Hidalgo projects it is more cost‑effective to order by the ton rather than using many small bags. Use bags only for touchups or very small decorative areas.
As a quick guide: a 4' x 50' walkway at 2" depth needs about 1.5 cubic yards (roughly 2–3 tons), a 10' x 10' patio at 2" needs about 1.25 cubic yards (about 1.5–2 tons), and a single car driveway base plus topcoat commonly needs 8–12 cubic yards (10–16 tons) depending on required base depth. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our team with dimensions for a precise, local estimate and to meet the 3‑ton minimum order.
Yes. Hidalgo's hot, humid summers and occasional heavy rains affect color fading, compaction, and drainage. Choose darker stones carefully because they retain more heat, add proper slope and drainage for rain events, and expect regional variations in color and texture due to local sourcing. If you are unsure, request a local sample or a supplier photo through Hello Gravel before confirming your order.
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.
