Why Kemah Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kemah homeowners live in a small but active community (city population: 6,520) inside a larger, fast-growing region (metro area population: 2.5+ million). With a steady growth rate of 0.80% annually, local construction and landscaping demand is rising for driveways, rain-friendly yards, and low-maintenance groundcover. Kemah’s climate—228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches in hardiness zone 8b—means materials must handle both strong sun and periodic heavy rain. That combination drives homeowners to choose durable aggregates that improve drainage, limit erosion, and reduce upkeep. Gravel is a go-to material for these needs because it provides firm support for vehicles, encourages quick water infiltration, and resists sun-driven breakdown better than organic mulches. For many residential projects, the right gravel helps balance appearance, drainage, and longevity without complicated installation.Popular Projects in Kemah This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kemah gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Kemah.
For Kemah's coastal environment, choose hard, washed, angular stone such as crushed granite, quartzite, or washed crushed stone. Avoid mixes with shell, high clay content, or softer calcareous rock that can break down faster near salt and tidal moisture. When ordering, request 'washed' and note the salt-air concern in Order Notes so local suppliers can match the most durable, low-fines option available.
A 20x20 patio (400 sq ft) at 2 inches depth needs about 66.7 cubic feet, roughly 2.5 cubic yards or about 3.3 tons. A typical single-car Kemah driveway (about 12x40 ft) with a 4-inch compacted base needs roughly 6.0 cubic yards or about 8-9 tons. Hello Gravel can deliver bulk loads (minimum 3 tons) in dump trucks; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and compaction is not provided.
Buying bulk by the ton (truck delivery) is almost always the most cost-effective for Kemah projects once you need 3 tons or more, because bagged material includes extra handling and packaging costs. Buying from a local yard and picking up can be cheaper only if you have a suitable truck and time; bags are best for very small jobs or where access is tight. Hello Gravel's platform shows per-ton pricing and delivery fees for your zip code so you can compare bulk delivery versus other options.
A typical 50 lb bag of pea gravel contains about 0.5 cubic feet, which covers roughly 3 square feet at a 2-inch depth (about 6 sq ft at 1 inch). For anything larger than a small border, stepping-stone infill, or minor patch, ordering by the ton is more practical and economical in Kemah — generally when you need more than about 20-30 bags (roughly one ton or more). Hello Gravel's material calculator can convert your dimensions into tons so you can see the savings for bulk delivery.
For a stable, all-weather driveway in Kemah, we recommend a layered approach: 4-6 inches of compacted 3/4" minus or crusher-run stone as a base, followed by a 1-2 inch wearing layer of 3/8" crushed stone, pea gravel, or washed decorative gravel. Make sure the base is well compacted and the driveway has a slight crown or edge drainage to shed stormwater, since heavy rains and occasional flooding are possible in coastal Texas. Use edging or geotextile fabric on soft soils to limit spreading and rutting over time.
Hello Gravel focuses on sourcing and delivering materials; we do not offer full installation, mechanical compaction, or edging as a standard service. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but compaction and precise installation typically require a local contractor. Installation costs in Kemah vary widely with site prep, removal needs, and materials—contact local landscapers for quotes or ask our team for referrals to installers in your area.
Yes. We can request washed, angular, and denser rock types from our local suppliers that hold up better in salt-air environments near Galveston Bay and the Kemah Boardwalk. Add your corrosion or salt-air preference in Order Notes at checkout and our sourcing team will prioritize compatible materials; keep in mind regional variations mean exact color and texture may differ by supplier.
Removal and hauling of old gravel or soil is not included with standard deliveries, but some local haulers in our network may provide pickup services for an additional fee. Costs depend on volume, access, and disposal location; contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible with project details so we can check local options and provide an estimated quote. Removal services are subject to availability and are arranged case-by-case rather than guaranteed.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days from order processing for Kemah, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Weekend or emergency deliveries after storms depend on supplier and trucker availability in the area; contact our team directly to check immediate availability and request priority scheduling. We will do our best to accommodate urgent needs but cannot promise specific delivery windows.
Per-ton prices and delivery fees in Kemah vary by material, supplier, and current demand; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order for most locations. Many areas have free delivery for orders that meet local thresholds, while smaller orders may incur a delivery fee; you can enter your Kemah zip code on our site to get an exact quote that shows material cost, delivery fee, and available delivery dates. Payment is accepted by major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay at checkout.
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.
