Why North Alamo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
North Alamo has a population of 31,180 and sits within a steadily growing regional market that supports a measured but persistent demand for homebuilding and landscape upgrades. A 0.70% annual growth rate means new construction and renovation projects are regular rather than explosive—homeowners are more likely to tackle gradual yard upgrades, driveway repairs, and small additions over time. With a broader metro area of 2.5+ million nearby, material availability and contractor capacity remain accessible, but local projects still benefit from timely deliveries and regionally sourced aggregates. The area's climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall—combined with a hardiness zone of 8a shapes the types of products homeowners choose, from drainage-ready base materials to mulch and sand that tolerate sun exposure. Quality bulk materials matter here because they influence erosion control, long-term drainage performance, and plant establishment in a climate with strong sun and periodic heavy rains.Popular Projects in North Alamo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - North Alamo Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in North Alamo.
Homeowners in North Alamo typically order a mix of materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, landscaping beds, grading, and drainage projects. The right choice depends on function—drainage needs a permeable mix, driveways benefit from angular, compacting materials, and landscaping often combines topsoil with decorative aggregates. Regional sourcing means looks and texture can vary, so request local photos or samples if appearance matters.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees depend on your zip code, supplier location, and truck routing; many areas have free delivery but check your zip code at checkout for exact pricing. Confirm access and preferred delivery date when ordering to avoid surprises.
West Texas heat and occasional storms influence how materials settle, retain moisture, and resist erosion. Permeable aggregates help with drainage and reduce pooling after storms, while darker or fine materials may dry and dust more in prolonged heat. Choose materials and installation methods that allow for expansion, drainage, and periodic maintenance to keep surfaces stable over time.
Fall through spring are generally best for heavy material deliveries and installation because temperatures are milder and soil conditions are easier to work. Avoid scheduling right before expected heavy rains, and be mindful that extreme summer heat can make labor-intensive work harder and increase dust. If you need quick turnaround, next-day delivery can be an option for orders placed before noon CST.
Yes, local city, county, or HOA rules can affect setbacks, driveway surfacing, drainage requirements, and visible materials in front yards. Check with North Alamo city offices, Hidalgo County, and any HOA before purchasing to confirm permit requirements and material restrictions. When in doubt, request documentation or a permit checklist from your local jurisdiction before ordering.
Quantity needs depend on area, desired depth, and material type; compacting and settling will reduce volume. As a general rule, allow about 10-20% extra for landscaping beds and neat, flat areas and 15-30% extra for driveways, slopes, or projects with heavy grading. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a site-specific estimate and round up to avoid running short.
Some suppliers and drivers may offer tailgate spreading or placement at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but it is not guaranteed and depends on safety, access, and local regulations. If spreading is available, there may be an additional fee; discuss details and costs with the Hello Gravel team when placing your order. For precise placement or fine grading, consider hiring a local contractor.
Rural driveways, narrow roads, and soft shoulders can limit truck size and offload locations, so many deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks but may require smaller trucks or offload at the roadside. Provide accurate access notes, gate codes, and photos at checkout so the supplier can plan the correct truck and route. If access is tight, consider staging a smaller load or arranging hand placement with a local crew.
Lifespan varies by material, traffic, and weather. Most aggregate surfaces will need periodic topping, regrading, or compaction every few years for driveways, while landscaping aggregates may need occasional replenishing and weeding. Regular checks after heavy storms and seasonal topping or edging help extend the life of any material.
Cost-effectiveness depends on local availability, function, and maintenance needs; materials that compact well and provide good drainage are often the best value for rural driveways and erosion control. Since regional sourcing affects price, compare local options for durability and drainage rather than choosing solely on initial cost. Ask Hello Gravel for local supplier recommendations to balance price and performance.
Provide clear access information including gate codes, driveway width, overhead clearance, preferred drop location, and any obstacles like low power lines or soft ground. Note whether you need the truck to dump in a specific direction and request tailgate spreading if desired, knowing it is at the driver's discretion. Good photos and honest descriptions help the hauler choose the right truck and avoid delays or extra charges.
Natural materials can vary in color, texture, and size because of regional sourcing, so some variation from photos is normal. If you have concerns, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos and order details; the team will work with the supplier to resolve issues per their policies. Review the refund and resolution guidance on your order confirmation for next steps.

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.
