Why Palacios Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Palacios is a West Texas city of 6,540 residents experiencing modest but steady growth at 0.47% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days a year with 38.15 inches of annual rainfall and a hardiness zone of 9a—creates a mix of sunny, sometimes intense drying and periodic wet events that shape landscaping and construction needs. As homes and yards evolve, homeowners in Palacios often need durable, low-maintenance aggregates for driveways, walkways, erosion control, and drainage upgrades. Quality gravel helps manage stormwater, reduce mud during wet periods, and provide stable surfaces that stand up to sun exposure, so Palacios property owners are increasingly seeking reliable materials that balance aesthetics with performance. Gravel performs well in Palacios’ environment because it promotes quick drainage after rainfall and resists surface deterioration under frequent sun. For many local projects, angular crushed gravel provides compaction and stability while rounded decorative gravel offers good surface runoff. Hello Gravel connects Palacios homeowners to local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery—minimum orders start at 3 tons, standard delivery requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST—so you can get the right gravel on-site without the hassle of sourcing and scheduling.Popular Projects in Palacios This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Palacios gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Palacios.
Delivered gravel in the Palacios area usually ranges from about $30 to $70 per ton for basic crushed stone or gravel, with decorative options (pea gravel, river rock) often costing $40 to $85 per ton. Prices depend on material type, distance from the supplier, and truck access; Hello Gravel shows exact pricing once you enter your zip code. Note our minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by dump truck, so small projects may have higher per-ton costs.
Common local options include pea gravel (rounded, decorative, good for walkways but shifts easily), crushed limestone (angular, compacts well but can break down faster in salty, humid coastal conditions), crushed granite (durable, angular, good for driveways), and river rock (smooth, decorative, poor for compaction). Because Palacios is coastal, contractors often favor crushed granite or stabilized mixes for driveways and use pea gravel or river rock for decorative beds. Always ask your supplier about local batches, since color and texture vary by quarry.
Salt spray and high humidity usually do not dissolve stone, but they can speed weathering of softer rocks like some limestones and may cause staining over time. Binders and resin systems can degrade faster if they are not rated for marine environments, so ask for salt-tolerant resins for resin-bound surfaces. For edges and metal fixtures, expect faster corrosion and plan for stainless or coated hardware where possible.
Use about 1.4 tons per cubic yard as a local rule of thumb. A typical 2-car driveway (about 20 ft x 40 ft) at 3" depth needs roughly 8 to 14 tons depending on depth and base—plan for about 14 tons at 4" depth. A 1,000 sq ft patio at 2" depth requires roughly 8 to 9 tons. Always order 10% to 20% extra for compaction, grading, and waste, and remember Hello Gravel minimum orders are 3 tons.
Availability of small-load delivery or pickup depends on the local supplier and quarry serving Matagorda County; some will offer small loads or allow pickup, while others have larger minimums. Palacios is a small coastal city (population about 6,540), so options may be more limited than in larger metros; Hello Gravel will show nearby supplier options and whether they allow pickup or small-load delivery when you check your zip code. If you need a small amount, consider pickup at a nearby supplier or sharing a load with a neighbor to meet minimums.
Rules vary by jurisdiction and HOA. Before removing grass, check City of Palacios planning or Matagorda County permitting offices and any HOA covenants for restrictions on front-yard surfacing, driveways, and drainage changes. Also verify local stormwater and drainage rules, since replacing permeable lawn with gravel can affect runoff and may trigger requirements.
Expect routine maintenance like light regrading once a year and top-ups of surface gravel every 2 to 4 years for typical residential traffic. Coastal rains and hurricane-driven runoff can move material, so plan inspections after heavy storms and keep edging in good shape to reduce washouts. Regularly removing vegetation and addressing low spots early will reduce larger repairs.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and easiest to install, but it needs more frequent maintenance; typical lifespan with upkeep is 7 to 15 years. Asphalt costs more up front and lasts 15 to 30 years, while concrete and well-installed pavers are higher-cost options with lifespans of 30+ years and 25 to 50 years respectively. In coastal Palacios, consider materials and bases that handle salt, high humidity, and storm runoff when comparing long-term value.
Good options include geogrid or plastic gravel grids, which help lock stone in place, and polymeric or resin stabilizers formulated for marine exposure. Resin-bound systems give a firm, low-dust surface but must be specified as salt-tolerant for coastal use. For driveways, a compacted base of crushed stone plus edge restraints combined with a stabilization grid offers a strong, low-maintenance solution.
Avoid installing major unbound gravel surfaces during hurricane season (June through November) and during or right before prolonged rainy periods. The drier months and brief fall/winter dry windows are best for grading, compaction, and spreading so the material sets without immediate washout. If you must install near storm season, plan for extra compaction, strong edging, and good drainage to minimize erosion.
Excavate to remove organic topsoil, slope the area for proper drainage, and install geotextile fabric to separate subgrade from aggregate. Build a compacted base of 4" to 6" of crushed stone, compact it well, then add a 2" to 4" surface layer of your chosen gravel and edge it with restraints to prevent spreading. Good drainage, compaction, and edge control are especially important in coastal Palacios to resist washout from heavy rains.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
