Why Leon Valley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Leon Valley (population 11,687) sits inside a growing West Texas metro with steady development and a 0.36% annual growth rate. With an average of 229 clear days per year and about 34.52 inches of annual rainfall, local homeowners balance long, sunny periods with occasional heavy showers. Those climate patterns, plus the region's Hardiness Zone 8b conditions, drive steady demand for durable, low-maintenance landscaping and hardscaping materials. Gravel is a go-to aggregate for driveways, pathways, French drains, and drought-tolerant yards because it handles heat, resists erosion during downpours, and requires minimal upkeep. Homeowners choose quality gravel to avoid washouts, reduce weed growth, and ensure stable surfaces for vehicles and foot traffic—especially on sloped lots or soil that compacts unevenly. In Leon Valley's mix of sun and moderate rain, gravel performs well as a drainage layer and surface material. Properly sized gravel creates channels for runoff during the 34.52-inch rainfall events while reflecting heat on sunny days, which helps reduce surface cracking and rutting. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source materials reflective of the area's geology, and we coordinate professional dump-truck delivery with a 3-ton minimum. Choose standard delivery (2+ business days) or request next-day delivery before noon CST for faster service; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. Our online tools and local experts help you pick the right gravel and schedule delivery that fits your project timeline.Popular Projects in Leon Valley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Leon Valley gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Leon Valley.
For driveways in Leon Valley, crushed limestone or crushed rock (3/4" minus or 1" minus) is usually best because the angular pieces lock and compact well for vehicle traffic. For patios and walkways, pea gravel or small river rock gives a softer, finished look but needs edging and possibly a compacted base to control shifting. Local geology favors crushed limestone as an affordable, widely available option in the San Antonio area.
River gravel is larger, smoother, and available in a range of sizes and colors, making it good for decorative beds and low-traffic areas. Pea gravel is small, rounded, and comfortable to walk on, which makes it popular for pathways and play areas, but it can shift under weight and may need edging or stabilizer. Both are less stable than crushed rock for driveways or heavy-use surfaces.
Buying bulk by the ton or cubic yard from a local supplier is usually cheapest; Hello Gravel connects you to multiple local suppliers so you can compare rates. Order at least the 3-ton minimum to avoid small-order surcharges, choose standard delivery (2+ business days) when possible, and request off-peak delivery to reduce fees. Crushed limestone tends to be the most budget-friendly material in the West Texas area.
Yes, many local San Antonio-area suppliers deliver to Leon Valley; Hello Gravel works with regional haulers to arrange deliveries. Many orders qualify for free delivery depending on supplier and distance, while others may incur a fee typically ranging from about $30 to $150 based on distance, truck type, and site access. Delivery minimums and exact fees are shown at checkout once you enter your zip code.
Pea gravel is unsuitable where you need a stable, compacted surface for vehicles or heavy equipment because it shifts and spreads under load. It also performs poorly on steep slopes or in areas with heavy runoff, since rounded particles allow more movement and can wash away. For drainage near foundations you generally want angular stone or a drainage rock that maintains void space and resists shifting.
Many San Antonio and Bexar County suppliers offer washed and screened products; Hello Gravel lists available material types for your zip code during checkout. Washed river rock, screened pea gravel, and multiple gradations of crushed limestone are commonly stocked, but availability varies by supplier and season. If you need a specific finish, add your preference in Order Notes or contact our team before ordering.
Rule of thumb: multiply area (sq ft) by desired depth (ft), then divide by 27 to get cubic yards; most top layers use 2 to 4 inches, while a compacted base uses 4 to 6 inches. For example, a 20' x 40' driveway (800 sq ft) at 3 inches deep needs about 7.4 cubic yards, which is roughly 10 to 13 tons depending on material density (1.4–1.7 tons/yd3). Use our material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate.
Crushed limestone is generally the most economical option in the San Antonio region because it is locally quarried. Pea gravel and river rock are often priced higher due to extra washing, sorting, or trucking costs, and river rock can be pricier if it is imported. Exact prices vary by supplier, order size, and delivery location; Hello Gravel displays real quotes for your zip code at checkout.
Crushed rock (angular stone with good voids) is usually better for drainage because it creates stable channels for water to flow and resists packing. Rounded gravels like pea or river rock can compact and settle, reducing long-term drainage capacity. For foundation drains or French drains in West Texas, use washed, angular drainage rock and follow local code and contractor recommendations.
Some local haulers and landscaping contractors offer spreading and compaction for an extra fee, but tailgate spreading by the delivery driver is done only at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. When placing an order, request spreading in the Order Notes and contact our team if you want help finding a contractor for full installation. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery nationwide; for full installation we can help connect you with local installers but cannot guarantee those services.
Yes: hot, dry summers and occasional heavy rains mean you should choose materials and installation methods that resist shifting and erosion. Use angular crushed stone for driveways and drainage areas to maintain stability, add edging to keep loose decorative gravel contained, and consider geotextile fabric under the base to reduce weed growth and migration. Seasonal rains can wash loose material, so secure slope areas and avoid using rounded gravel on steep grades.
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.
