Why Los Fresnos Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Los Fresnos has a city population of 21,560 and sits within a metro area of 2.7+ million, a region that is expanding at a growth rate of 2.16% annually. That steady growth, combined with 223 sunny days per year and 27.42 inches of annual rainfall, means homes and yards here see a lot of outdoor use and thoughtful landscaping needs. In a hardiness zone of 9b, homeowners and contractors are investing in low-maintenance surfaces and reliable drainage solutions as new construction and renovation projects increase. Gravel is a common choice because it is versatile, affordable, and effective for driveways, pathways, erosion control, and base layers under pavers—projects that help Los Fresnos properties handle seasonal rains and heavy sun while keeping maintenance low. Locally sourced gravel works well in Los Fresnos’ climate because it drains quickly after rains and resists surface degradation under frequent sun exposure. Gravel helps stabilize sandy or mixed soils, reduces mud and standing water after storms, and provides a permeable surface that complements native plant beds and patios. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to trusted local suppliers and professional dump truck fleets, making it easier to pick the right gravel for each project, schedule delivery, and get materials that reflect the local geology and performance needs.Popular Projects in Los Fresnos This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Los Fresnos gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Los Fresnos.
Expect approximate ranges rather than exact prices: most common landscape gravel runs about $30–$60 per ton (roughly $40–$80 per cubic yard) depending on type and local supply. Prices vary with material (crushed limestone vs. decorative), delivery distance, and any spreading service, so get a quote for the most accurate cost. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and shows up-front pricing and delivery options at checkout.
Common and practical choices are crushed limestone (stable and affordable), crushed concrete (recycled and cost-effective), and 3/4" crushed stone for driveways that need load-bearing capacity; decomposed granite works for walking paths and low-traffic areas. In Los Fresnos’ coastal-influenced soils, choose angular aggregates for interlock and stability and avoid very smooth river rock for driveways. Ask your Hello Gravel representative to recommend a locally sourced option based on your project.
Los Fresnos has sandy, coastal-influenced soils, occasional heavy rains, and a relatively high water table, so drainage matters more than in arid areas. Use angular crushed stone, a compacted base, and grade the site to shed water away from structures; consider geotextile fabric to separate sand from your base. Proper slope and drainage help prevent rutting and washout during storm events.
Hello Gravel’s platform lists a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery lead time of 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance; drivers typically dump from tri-axle trucks and will assess tailgate spreading on arrival but it is not guaranteed. Make sure the drop area is accessible for a large truck and note any driveway or HOA restrictions in your order notes.
A quick rule: 1 cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches depth, and 1 cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.2–1.5 tons depending on material. Example: a one-car driveway (approx. 10' x 20') at 3" depth needs about 2 cubic yards (about 2.5–3 tons); a two-car driveway (20' x 20') needs about 4 cubic yards (about 5–6 tons). Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or request a quote with your exact dimensions to get precise amounts.
Requirements vary: the City of Los Fresnos and Cameron County have different rules, and many HOAs impose design or material rules for front-yard surfaces. Check with the city building department and your HOA before installation—permits are sometimes required for driveway ties to public right-of-way or if stormwater detention is affected. When in doubt, contact your local planning office and include any permit needs in your Hello Gravel order notes.
Labor and installation costs vary, but expect installation to add roughly $1.50–$5.00 per square foot on top of material costs depending on site complexity, fabric use, and compaction. Small, simple jobs at residential scale tend toward the lower end; specialized grading, drainage work, or heavy machinery access can push costs higher. Always get multiple local quotes and confirm whether the contractor includes base material, fabric, and compaction in the price.
Start with a compacted sub-base of 3/4" minus crushed rock or recycled base, compacted to 4–6 inches for typical residential driveways, then add a 2–3 inch wearing layer of your chosen gravel. Use geotextile fabric between the native sand and base to limit mixing and washout, and include edge restraints to keep gravel contained. For heavy loads or poor soils, increase base thickness to 6–8 inches and consult a contractor.
Expect light maintenance like regrading and infill every 1–3 years and a more substantial top-up every 3–7 years depending on traffic, storms, and initial depth. Coastal winds, heavy rains, and vehicle use move material faster, so high-traffic driveways may need more frequent attention. Regular regrading, weed control, and replenishing a few inches of gravel keep surfaces functional and attractive.
Gravel is the lowest-cost option up front and is permeable, which helps with stormwater, but it requires periodic maintenance and can migrate in heavy rains. Asphalt offers a smoother, lower-maintenance surface but costs more and can soften in extreme heat; pavers are the most durable and attractive but have the highest initial cost and require careful base prep. Choose based on budget, desired look, and willingness to maintain—Hello Gravel can help estimate material costs for the gravel option.
Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed—request the service at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. If spreading is critical, note it in the order and confirm with customer service before delivery, and expect an additional fee when available. Otherwise, drivers typically dump material in one or more piles and you or your contractor spread and compact it.
Material-only top-ups typically cost the per-ton price plus delivery; expect a few hundred dollars to replenish a residential driveway depending on the amount needed. If you hire a contractor for regrading and compaction, add labor costs—small jobs might run a few hundred dollars, while larger or complex sites cost more. Contact Hello Gravel for a material quote and ask local contractors for labor estimates to compare total costs.
Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so color, texture, and aggregate mix reflect local geology and can vary from photos and samples. Natural variation is normal—if color or size is important, include preferences in your order notes and request a local sample or photo from the supplier before delivery. Contact customer service promptly if the delivered material differs significantly from what you expected.
Clear the delivery path of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles; mark the preferred drop area with flags or cones and ensure overhead clearance for tri-axle trucks. Identify any buried utilities and inform the driver if there are narrow gates, soft ground, or parking restrictions; note any HOA or curb restrictions ahead of time. Proper preparation speeds delivery and reduces the chance of additional fees or delays.
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.
