Frequently Asked Questions - Penitas gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Penitas.
Delivered gravel prices in Penitas vary with material type and availability, but expect a rough range of $20 to $60 per ton delivered. Final price depends on gravel type (pea gravel is often pricier than basic crushed stone), truck access, and whether you need next-day delivery or spreading. Use our online quote or enter your zip code to see exact local pricing.
For driveways and rural roads in Penitas' hot summers and occasional heavy rains, angular crushed stone (#57 or 3/4" crush) and crushed limestone are good choices because they compact well and resist displacement. Decomposed granite and pea gravel look nice but can shift more and may need edging or stabilizers. For heavy-use or wetter spots, a base layer of crushed stone with a top course of #57 provides durability.
To estimate tons, use area x depth: (square feet x 0.25 feet) / 27 = cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Example: a 2-car driveway 20 ft x 40 ft (800 sq ft) at 3" needs about 7.4 cubic yards or approximately 10 to 11 tons. Always order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and spillage.
For a single-lane 12-foot-wide road at 3" depth, a mile (5,280 ft) requires about 587 cubic yards, which is roughly 820 to 850 tons using 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Wider roads or deeper sections will increase quantities proportionally. Break projects into manageable delivery sizes and confirm with your supplier to coordinate truck access.
Small residential deliveries typically do not require permits, but large commercial deliveries or long-term on-site stockpiling may be subject to city or county rules. Penitas and Hidalgo County have local ordinances about road blocking, right-of-way use, and erosion controls, so check with Penitas city hall or Hidalgo County permitting before accepting large loads or staging material on public property. When in doubt, contact our team and we can help identify local requirements.
High heat increases dust and can cause fines to break down, while heavy rains cause washouts and rutting if drainage and crown are inadequate. Regular maintenance—adding top-up gravel, regrading, and maintaining drainage ditches or culverts—keeps driveways stable. Using angular crushed stone and installing a good crown and side drainage will reduce washouts in Penitas' climate.
Yes. Geotextile fabric beneath the gravel prevents mixing with soft subgrade, cellular confinement grids stabilize surface stone, and polymer binders can reduce dust and displacement. Choose products based on soil conditions—clay subsoils benefit most from fabric and grids—and consult our team for product compatibility with locally sourced materials.
Gravel has the lowest upfront material cost and fastest installation, but requires periodic maintenance (grading and topping every few years). Asphalt and concrete cost more to install but need less frequent surface upkeep; however, in hot and sun-exposed areas they can crack and require repair. Consider budget, desired appearance, and willingness to maintain when choosing; we can help estimate local installed costs for your project.
Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Peak seasons (spring and fall or after major storms) can increase lead times and prices due to higher demand and limited truck availability. Place orders early and check our checkout calendar to secure preferred dates.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout but it is not guaranteed. Drivers will assess safety and access on arrival and may charge extra or decline if conditions are unsafe or if equipment limits prevent spreading. If you need guaranteed spreading or precise finish, schedule a contractor and use our delivery-only service.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and hauling contractors in the Penitas area and will show available options when you enter your zip code. For installation or large-scale grading, ask us to match you with contractors experienced with local soils and drainage, or check local listings and reviews for landscapers and road-building contractors in Hidalgo County. Our customer service team can also recommend next steps and help coordinate delivery logistics.
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.
