Why Mission Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mission has a city population of 162,580 and sits inside the fast-growing McAllen metro region with a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually, residential and light commercial projects are common as homeowners expand driveways, add patios, and refresh yards. Mission’s climate—228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 33.50 inches—favors outdoor living and low-maintenance landscaping, but also creates seasonal drainage needs. Homeowners here look for quality aggregates that control erosion, improve drainage, and support drought-tolerant plantings. Gravel is a practical choice for pathways, driveways, French drains, and xeriscaping because it balances permeability, durability, and low upkeep in this environment.Popular Projects in Mission This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mission gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mission.
Natural, rounded gravel is often cheaper up front than crushed stone in the Mission area because it requires less processing. However, crushed stone (angular material) compacts and locks together better, so it can reduce long-term maintenance and drifting after heavy summer rains. For many Mission homeowners the slightly higher cost of crushed stone is worth it for a more stable surface.
Crushed gravel is a solid choice for Mission driveways because its angular particles compact well and resist washout during storms. Typical installation steps include a compacted subbase (4-6 inches of crusher run), a geotextile if needed for soft spots, and a 2-3 inch top layer of crushed stone; total installed cost varies by scope but most homeowners see material-plus-install ranges from modest to mid-range depending on site prep. Prices depend on site access, hauling, and whether you need grading or drainage work, so get a local quote through Hello Gravel for an accurate estimate.
A typical tri-axle dump truck in the Rio Grande Valley carries roughly 12-14 tons of gravel. Local pricing varies with material type and delivery distance; many loads fall in a broad range, so check Hello Gravel for current local pricing and delivery fees. Keep in mind minimum orders may apply and delivery windows depend on supplier and truck routing.
Using common coverage estimates (1 ton covers about 116 sq ft at 2 inch depth), a 1,000 sq ft area needs roughly 8.5 tons at 2 inches, about 13 tons at 3 inches, and about 17 tons at 4 inches. Material costs in Mission can vary, so multiply tons needed by your local per-ton price and add delivery and any site-prep charges; this often results in a materials-only range from a few hundred to around a thousand dollars. For an exact quote, use Hello Gravel to check current local rates and delivery options.
If you mean 20 ft long by a typical single-car width (about 10 ft), that is 200 sq ft. At 3 inches of gravel you would need roughly 2.6 to 3 tons, so materials-only cost is usually modest; total installed cost depends on grading, compaction, edging, and delivery. If you mean a different width, scale the math: cost is driven by square footage, depth, site prep, and local material rates—get a quote for your exact dimensions.
A 20x20 area equals 400 sq ft; at a 3 inch depth you need about 5 to 6 tons of gravel. Materials-only for that amount is usually affordable, but final installation cost depends on whether you need a compacted base, grading, or drainage improvements. Use Hello Gravel to calculate material needs and request local pricing to see a precise total for your address.
For light, temporary use on a well-prepared base, 2 inches can work, but it is generally too thin for a permanent residential driveway in Mission, especially with heavy summer storms. We recommend at least a 2-3 inch surface layer over a compacted base (4-6 inches of crusher run or road base) for long-term durability. Proper base and compaction are more important than surface depth alone in the Valley's climate and soils.
One cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.6 tons depending on the material; a good rule of thumb is 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons. That matters for ordering because dump trucks are often quoted by tons and Hello Gravel lists minimums (3 tons) while tri-axle loads commonly carry about 12-14 tons. When you use our calculator or request a quote, you can convert between cubic yards and tons using this approximate factor for local materials.
Coverage varies with depth. As a quick guide: 1 ton covers about 232 sq ft at 1 inch, about 116 sq ft at 2 inches, about 77 sq ft at 3 inches, and about 58 sq ft at 4 inches. These are approximate values based on a typical weight of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard; actual coverage depends on material type and compaction.
Materials that compact and hold together best are angular, crushed products such as crusher run (3/4" minus), crushed stone (1/2" to 1" sizes), and recycled concrete road base. Decomposed granite can form a firm surface when properly compacted and screened, and polymer-stabilized gravels are an option for reduced tracking and dust. Note that no loose gravel truly hardens like poured concrete; for driveways in Mission we recommend a compacted base and an angular top layer to minimize rutting and erosion during heavy rains.
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.
